Select "YES" on the "Import Confirmation" screen.
Import moves the two files stored by the Export process from the PC card to the new navi ECU. When the
transfer is finished (a few seconds) the system will automatically reboot. After the system reboots, remove
the PC card from the PC slot.
If the Import button is grayed out, follow the troubleshooting in the FAQs below. The client's files can only
be transferred to a new core if the "Model" and the "Program Flash" shown on the "Version" screen are the
same. So files cannot be transferred from Civic to Accord, or from a Civic with version 1.07.00 to a Civic
with version 1.32.00.

You need a "PCMCIA type II" adaptor and a flash memory chip (see
below for memory chip types). They can be purchased at a computer,
or office supply store. The card will have the same size and shape as
the PC card in the HDS. Adaptors that accept multiple flash types are
not recommended.
The flash memory devices that have been tested include Compact
Flash (CF), and ATA style (like the card in the HDS). Other card types
and flash memory chips may work, but have not been tested.
A memory chip with capacity of 64 MB to 2 GB will work. The two
files moved to the card during "export" are less than a Megabyte in
size. An adaptor and flash memory can be obtained for less than 50
dollars.
Yes, treat the card as a dedicated "special tool" that should be used
anytime your '07 or later client needs their navi personal files
transferred to a new ECU core.
Any computer store sells USB style PC card readers that accept the
card, and allow you to perform file maintenance on your card. Most
laptops will also accept the card.
No, the files are model specific and will only load into a navi ECU
with the same part number.
The client's files can only be transferred to a new core, if the "Model"
and the "Program Flash" shown on the "Version" screen are the same.
Files cannot be transferred from Civic to Civic Hybrid (different model
code), or '07 Civic to '08 Civic (different versions).
A PC card with its media memory chip is not inserted properly.

Check the card's edge connector, and the pins inside the

navigation unit (with a flashlight) for damage.
