^ Navigation disks are not interchangeable between first and second-version navigation units.

^ If the Navigation unit is replaced in a MY1999 to MY2001 vehicle, you must use map software version 2001.1.

^ At this point, it is unclear if map updates will be offered for first or second version navigation units. If so, this bulletin will be updated and reissued.
