Use the chart to determine which map disk to use.

Important Notes:
^ First version navigation units are no longer available. If a replacement becomes necessary, you must use the second version navigation unit.

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

^ If the Navigation unit is replaced in a MY1998 to MY2OO1 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.

Navigation disks are available from NavTech. Their customer support number is 1-888-628-6277.
