Need help with service mode

Hi , I wanted to see if my settings were in NOAREA or USA and I read the article about the service mode... I turned the key to position II and went to settings under the menu and held the menu button for 5 seconds and now it says service mode on top but i dont see any thing that says NOAREA or USA ... I went through all the different things in the menu...Am I in the right service mode or is there more than one...ive searched the board for info but I still cant get into the menu where you can change the AREA to usa...

On Board computer
Navigation/Graphic element
Gps
Video module
Telematics settings

Hi Spamking,
Can you please go through the procedure to select Service Mode and then how to find the menu to change the area. A step-by-step guide would be good.
Thanks
Colin.

Hi, Fatboyz...here you go..I dont know if this depends on the year of the radio/nav unit but heres how i did it...

1. Turn key to position 1 (accessory)
2. if radio is on turn it off then on again
3. Hold down the Tone/Select button (hold down the select side of the button beacause this button has two functions) Hold it down until the menu changes and you will see your serial number at the top
4. use the < > button to navigate and you will see the area that its currently set on. Then you can use the 1-6 preset buttons to change to your area...
5. Thats it...
