Please check these 2 links on how to disable the firewall and anti-virus/malware.

Please also check whether you meet the system requirements.

If you have try any of the above solutions and no success, please contact us via Chat or at 888-757-0010.

When using Navigation Updater, the “Portable Device Formatting Unsuccessful” error may be caused by a portable device, SD card, USB or SD card reader. Please refer to the following steps to resolve the issue.

1. Check the SD card lock settings 

    - If the switch on the left of the SD card is lowered, it is locked. If it is raised, it is unlocked.

To make back-up of your map update on SD card or USB drive is very easy. All you need to do is select all files and folders on the root directory then do copy and paste to your local drive.

You may use the existing SD card from the head unit as long as the size of the current SD card is 32 GB. Older vehicle may have only 16 GB SD card which will not be enough space. 

If your existing SD card is 32 GB and because it will need to be formatted, we recommend to back-up the current files to your local hard drive first. Please follow this link on how to perform back-up. 

If you need to purchase a 32 GB SD card, please follow this link for the guidelines.
