4.0 Identifying The Sat Nav Unit
The MkIV unit is pictured below. Your Nav Unit must be a MkIV running min O/S V30
(SW4-1/91) or later.




Minimum System Requirements

Mk4 DVD Navi Unit
Sat Nav O/S V30 (SW4-1/91) or
later
                                                                            Page 3 of 7

5.0 How To Find Your Operating System Software Version
To determine which Nav OS software version you presently have, go into either “Set” or
“Settings” from the main menu of your navigation screen. In the upper right hand corner
you will see SW x-x/xx (see example picture below).




The first number indicates which generation navigation system you have:
       1 indicates MKI Unit
       2 indicates MKII Unit
       3 indicates MKIII Unit
       4 indicates MKIV Unit
The second number (which will most likely be 1) tells you that you have the full colour
“high level” Nav Screen.
The third numbers tells you the software version. For example, the version 18 disk will take
a MKIII system to version 4.0 and show 1/40.
