A PC card with it's media memory chip is not inserted.

The model code of the files stored during export do not match

the model code of the new navi ECU.
The version of the files from the original navi ECU are not the

same as the version in the new ECU.
No, the system simply adds two small files that are recognized by the
new core when performing the Import function. However, if the card is
full, the "Export" function won't work correctly.
After the transfer of client data to the new core, the files remain on the
card. Since this is confidential information, we recommend that you
delete these files after each use. Please note that each time you export
navi files of the same model and version, the files are overwritten.
Over time the card will accumulate two files for each version of the 8
or so Honda navi models.
It is unlikely that the card will ever need formatting, however the FAT
file system should be used.
Some internal navi ECU failures may make it impossible to use the
Export/Import function.
The card may not be fully inserted into the slot. Eject the card,

and inspect for warping or damage to the edge connector. Never
use excessive force to insert a card. This can result in damage to
the pins in the rear of the slot.
The card may not contain files that are recognized by the new

core. Navi data can only be transferred between cores with the
same "Model code", and with the same navi "Program flash"
version.
The flash memory chip type may not be accepted by the system.

Only Compact Flash and ATA cards have been tested.
The card's PCMCIA adaptor may be preventing a known good

card from playing. Avoid multi slot type PCMCIA adaptors that
accept several different flash memory types.
The card may be full and as a result the files are stored, but

without any data. Export and import appear to function, but
move nothing. Delete unused files from the card.
There may not be any files on the card. If the card has a "write

protection" switch, make sure it is turned off before attempting
to use the Export function.
Although flash memory chips are reliable, occasionally they

develop bad sectors or other formatting errors that prevents them
from accepting files. The card should be reformatted using the
FAT format.
The card may have been formatted using the format "NTFS".

Only the "FAT" format is accepted by the system.
Hard Disc Drive (HDD) cards may not work properly in the
