THE PC CARD SLOT ON THE NAVIGATION DRIVE IS EMPTY!!!!

Alot of great minds on this site (jptl04)(rbf351)etc..., I had great help with my previous Posting, this time in the process of my non nav to NAV conversion I come across the problem of finding that the gps drive unit that I had purchased online is missing the PC CARD
the slot to the bottom left of the drive below the dvd/cd slot (for those who are wondering) What is it that I should do? Can this be purchased seperately??
Any Help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you very much

its supposed to be empty, its for diagnostic use only.

TLMAK

oh, excellent you saved me much aggravation, really appreciate it, must have seemed like a really dumb question, hmm intresting, anyone know what diagnostic testing is done through this slot?

I would guess that it is used to obtain data logging that the navi records by dealerships and for alpine to relfash the unit after repairs.

is this also reffered to as the Hard disk drive?

TLMAK

Funny enough I messaged the seller that I purchased the Navigation drive from and mentioned the Pc Card slot was empty and he told me the hard disk was not included?? what could he be reffering to? once again I really appreciate your help

^^ Nothing. He's confused. There is no hard disk. There is, as you discovered, a PC card slot, but no card.

Maybe he meant the card as a "removable hard disk"?

Appreciate it, i love how the seller attempted to be decietful and it ends up being that it all worked out! ...I appreciate you putting my mind to rest Thank you very much !!!! I shall now proceed with my Nav Conversion sometime soon,, Def will post pics
THANKS AGAIN
