procedure.
A typical setup page is shown. For more detailed information
about the parameters, refer to the operator manual.

navigation system is connected. Also, make sure that the
navigation system is powered up and operational.

of the external system. Typically, the setting will read:
Source (one available).
- The name, identifiaction and/or input connector is
shown on the next line.

detected, all will be listed.

button to select it.

a problem with the wiring.
