the GM Navigation Disc Center, using the GM Navigation Disc Center Contact Information below.
Navigation Radio Software Update for Cadillac Escalade Models
- Start the engine with the gear shift in PARK, and wait until the audio or navigation screen is displayed.
- Proceed to the FM audio screen and confirm the current navigation software version by pressing the CONFIG and SEEK buttons (2)
simultaneously as indicated in the above illustration. If the screen switches, select FM to display the software version. Performing this
operation may take a couple of attempts for the radio to detect the simultaneous button press. The navigation software version will be the first
four characters (1), reading from the left of the display, that is located in the middle of the screen.
Record all information shown for later reference.
3. If the navigation software version is 101F or higher (e.g.101H), the radio has the latest navigation software available and no update is
necessary. However, if the string of letters across the screen is not alphanumeric, this indicates an internal communication problem with the
radio. For this condition, refer to SI. For all other navigation software versions proceed to step 4 to continue the software update.
