• A PC equipped with:
  • Microsoft Windows operating system (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8)
  • Internet connection
• A blank FAT32 formatted USB memory stick with a capacity of at least 8GB

Preparing the USB memory stick for the update

Before downloading content to your USB memory stick from https://www.naviextras.com/shop/portal, you need to prepare the USB device for the update. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. From the Navigation menu, go to Settings and tap Synctool.
   
   
    
2. The system asks you to confirm that you want to prepare the storage media for an update.
   
   
    
3. Connect the blank USB memory stick to your Navigation device after making sure that no other USB device has been connected. A status screen is displayed showing the progress.
   WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE STORAGE MEDIA AND DO NOT SWITCH OFF YOUR NAVIGATION SYSTEM DURING THE PROCESS.
   
   
   
   
4. Wait until Pioneer Navigation prompts you to remove the storage media. Now you can disconnect the USB memory stick from your Pioneer System and take it home.
