The cards are equipped with a VIN-binding feature that permanently binds the card to the VIN of the first vehicle it is placed into. Once a card is bound to a vehicle, navigation system operation is blocked within five ignition cycles and an SD card error message is displayed if the VIN on the card does not match the VIN of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>The dealership cannot identify the VIN on the Navigation SD card. Any attempt to identify the VIN on the card can corrupt the card data, causing difficult system diagnosis and potential future repairs.<\/p>\n<p>When a Navigation SD card has been separated from its VIN-bound vehicle and the correct vehicle is unknown, the only solution is to replace the card. The new vehicle warranty does not cover Navigation SD cards replaced for an incorrect VIN. If the VIN on the card does not match the warranty claim submission, it can be subject to debit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; Thanks to Jeremy Richardson<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Navigation Data SD cards for infotainment systems with embedded navigation (RPOs IOT, IOU) (Fig. 18) that are available on 2018-2019 Regal, ATS, CTS, XTS, Terrain; and 2019 CT6, XT4, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11170"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11170\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11171,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11170\/revisions\/11171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
