NAVIGATION COMPUTER REPLACEMENT MK III AND MK IV
When replacing a defective MK III or MK IV NAV computer, a configuration signal is required to allow the new computer to load the correct software for its respective application. This is generated by using the SSS (Software Service Station) loaded with Progman V27.0 or higher and the Navigation System operating software CD V17.1 or V30.

1. Connect the Deutronic battery charger to vehicle
2. Connect the SSS via a diagnostic head or an O(P)PS (For D-CAN vehicles) to the vehicle
