Frequently Asked Questions About the CD Burning Method

What CD's can be used?

You are able to use a CD-Recordable (CD-R) Compact Disc.

What should my computer have?

Your computer should already be available to operate the Office SCN Coding Application as per S-B-07.61/38h.

Your computer should also have a CD-RICD-RW drive with a CD burning application (Ex. Nero or Roxio).

I burned the CD and went back to the SDS machine, but it does not recognize the CD. Now what?

What probably happened was either the CD was defective or the CD was not burned properly. Discard the defective

CD and try burning the CD again after generating the SCN Codes.

Can I reuse the CD for another vehicle?

No. The CD is for one vehicle only. Once the SCN Coding is performed on the specified vehicle, the CD should be destroyed and disposed of.
