PC Card FAQs
QuestionAnswer

Wheredowebuytheflashmemoryor
adaptors, and what do we ask for?You need a PCMCIA type II adaptor and a flash memory chip. You can
purchase them at a computer, or office supply store. The card is the
same size and shape as the PC card in the HDS. Adaptors that accept
multiple flash types are not recommended.
What memory flash chips will work
with what adaptors? The flash memory devices that have been tested include Compact Flash
(CF), and ATA style (like the card in the HDS). Other card types and flash
memory chips may work, but have not been tested.
What capacity card do I need for this
function? A memory chip with capacity of 64 MB to 2 GB will work. The two files
moved to the PC card during export are less than a Megabyte in size.
Should the dealer have a dedicated PC
card for the Export and Import
navigation function? Yes, treat the PC card as a dedicated special tool that you can use any
time you need to transfer the navigation personal files to a new
navigation unit on ’07 and later vehicles.
What device can I use to maintain the
PC card, and delete files? Any computer store sells USB style card readers that accept the PC card,
and allow you to do file maintenance on your PC card. Most laptops also
accept the PC card.
Can we move the client’s data to
different models? No, the files are model specific and will only load into a navigation unit
with the same part number.
Can we move the client’s data to the
same vehicle with a different software
version (like moving from version 4.41
to version 4.51)? The client’s files can only be transferred to a new navigation unit if the
Model and the Program Flash shown on the Version screen are the same.
Files cannot be transferred to the different model and different versions.
Will other files on the PC card like
images or music files prevent the
Export/Import function from working? No, the system simply adds two small files that are recognized by the
new navigation unit when performing the import function. However, it
the PC card is full, the Export function won’t work correctly.
Do I have to delete the files on the PC
card after each transfer of the
personal data? After the transfer of personal data to the new navigation unit, the files
remain on the PC card. Since this is confidential information, Acura
recommends deleting these files after the transfer. Please note that each
time you export navigation files of the same model and version, the files
are overwritten. Over time the PC card accumulates two files for each
version of the 8 or so Acura navigation models.
If the memory card needs formatting,
what format should I use? It is unlikely that the PC card will ever need formatting, however, if it
does, use the FAT (file allocation table) file system.
I can’t enter the navigation diagnostic
mode to do the Export/Import function.
How can I transfer the personal data? Some internal navigation unit ECU failures may make it impossible to
use the Export/Import function.

Why wont the Export or Import
functions work or are grayed out?
What do I check as part of
troubleshooting?
The card may not be fully inserted into the slot. Eject the PC card, and
inspect for warping or damage to the edge connector. Never use
excessive force to insert a PC card. This can result in damage to the
pins in the rear of the slot.
The PC card may not contain files that are recognized by the new
navigation unit. Navigation data can only be transferred between
navigation units with the same Model code, and with the same navi
Program flash version.
The flash memory chip type may not be accepted by the system. Only
Compact Flash and ATA cards have been tested.
The card’s PCMCIA adaptor may prevent a known-
good card from
being recognized Avoid multi-slot type PCMCIA adaptors that accept
several different flash memory types.
The card may be full and as a result the files are stored, but without
any data. Export and import appear to function, but move nothing.
Delete unused files from the PC card.
There may not be any files on the PC card. If the PC card has a write
protection switch, make sure it is turned off before using the Export
function.
Although flash memory chips are reliable, occasionally they develop
bad sectors or other formatting errors that prevents them from
accepting files. The PC card should be reformatted using the FAT
format.
The PC card may have been formatted using the format NTFS. Only the
FAT format is accepted by the system.
Hard Disc Drive (HDD) cards may not work properly in the system and
can overheat or quit functioning, particularly in a hot vehicle. They are
not recommended.
Before performing the Import function, ensure that the original
navigation DVD is loaded into the new navigation unit and working
properly.

8. Compare the client’s vehicle’s sound quality results to the known-good vehicle’s results.
 If the sound quality in the client’s vehicle is comparable to the sound quality in the known-
good vehicle, then the client’s vehicle is
operating as designed.
 If the sound quality is not comparable, check these items in order.
– Loose or improperly installed speakers or other hardware that may become excited by
the vibrations generated by the speakers
– Poor power or ground to the stereo amplifier (Type S model)
– Damaged speaker(s)
– Faulty amplifier

General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its
location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes
less than 10 minutes.

the vehicle, see your dealer.
 If you need to replace the navigation unit, you can
back-up the navigation data and transfer it to a new
navigation unit. See Save users memory (see page
23-310).
 When the battery is disconnected, the internal GPS clock resets to 0:00. The clock resets to the correct
time after the system finishes GPS initialization.
 Before disconnecting the battery, make sure you have the anti-theft codes for the audio system and the
navigation system, and write down the audio presets.
Also obtain any PGM-FI or transmission DTCs and
freeze frame date (which are lost when the ECM/PCM
loses power).
 After reconnecting the battery, you have to wait to get the initial signal from the satellite. It will take from 10
to 45 minutes.
 Adjust the setup clock settings (time zone and daylight savings) in the navigation system.
 Before returning the vehicle to the client, enter the anti-theft codes for the audio system and the
navigation system.
If the navigation system loses power (like the battery
was disconnected), the navigation system requires
initialization. Once completed, your system is ready to
use.
This initialization requires the following:  Entering the 4-digit anti-theft security code to unlock the system
 GPS initialization (may not be needed depending of the length of time the system was without power)
 Map matching to align the GPS to a location on the map Any time the navigation system loses power, you need
to enter the 4-digit anti-theft code on the navigation
system display. This 4-digit code is located on a small
code card that was given to the customer. Enter the 4-
digit code, then select Done.
If the navigation system anti-theft code is missing, use
the interactive Network (iN) to look it up. You need the
serial number for the navigation unit to do this.
You can view the serial number by entering the
diagnostic mode. Select Unit Check from the main
menu, then the ECU info diagnostic screen. This allows
you to get the serial number without removing the
navigation unit.
The iN may display more than one code for a given
serial number. This is because serial numbers are not
unique. You may have to try more than one 4-digit code.
If no code is shown, or if the code(s) given do not work
in the navigation unit, contact the Automobile Warranty
department. If the code 0000 works, replace the
navigation unit.
When replacing the navigation unit or audio unit, make
sure you give the client the new anti-theft security code.
NOTE: You must park the vehicle outside with a clear
view of the southern sky.
Depending on the length of time the battery was
disconnected, your system may require GPS
initialization. If it does, the following screen appears:
