Mk-3 Navigation Computer
The Mk-3 navigation computer is located in
the left side of the vehicles trunk or cargo area.
(In the case of the Z8 it is installed in the stor-
age box behind the passenger seat.)
The navigation computer housing contains:
 Map CD drive
 Hardware for navigation function
 GPS receiver
 Gyro sensor
 Output for audio interface
 Output for visual display
 Cooling fan for unit
There are two different hardware versions available dependent on the angle of installation
in the vehicle (horizontal or vertical). The Mk-3 is compatible with both board monitor or
MIR display units.
(See workshop hints for configuration instructions)
Identification of the Mk-3 computer over the previous versions is easy due to a change in
the face plate design and the elimination of the “CD-IN” LED.

Workshop Hints
Replacing the Mk-3 navigation computer
When replacing the Mk-3 navigation computer be aware that there are two hardware
variants depending on the installation position (vertical or horizontal).
The ignition should be in position 0 during removal and replacement of the computer. After
installing, close all doors, hood and trunk. A bus line reset will be carried out within two
minutes. Resetting allows the gyro to perform a calibration run. Do not move the car
during this reset period.
The coding sequence for the Mk-3 navigation computer has been changed from the
previous Mk-2. There is now an additional step (configuration) that must be done before
the software can be loaded.
After resetting, a configuration signal is needed to allow the computer to load the correct
software for use with a board monitor or MIR. This is performed using the DIS coding pro-
gram (CD 22.0 onward) and the Navigation System operating software (CD V15.0 onward).
Note: Vehicles using the wide screen BM require CD V16.1 onward.
