Confirm the Push Start Switch (or ignition key) is in the “OFF” position. 2. Remove the Back-Up fuse from the Main Box (M/B, under-hood fuse box). NOTE: the Back-Up fuse locations may vary by model. See pg. 12-12 in the Owner Manual. 3. Once the fuse is removed, eject the current (old) SD card from the audio / navigation unit.

To distinguish between the old and the new SD cards, slide the lock tab downward on the old card as shown in the illustration below, right. IMPORTANT: The old SD card must be one of the two shown in the illustration below. If it is not, do not proceed further until it can be confirmed the audio / navigation unit is applicable for the reprogram. The part number on the old SD card must be 86283AJ68A or 86283AJ67A (w/ black dot). IMPORTANT NOTES: • The 86283AJ67A (with the black dot) indicates the vehicle is a 2013MY Legacy or Outback that received an Aha upgrade / exchange unit. • The 86283AJ68A is used from the mid-2013MY running production change when Aha was added. • A 86283AJ67A WITHOUT a black dot is NOT eligible for this update as the audio / navigation unit used with that card is not Aha-equipped and therefore will not support the specific software provided in the update referenced in this bulletin. 5. After verifying you have the proper new SD card, insert it into the audio / navigation unit. 6. Re-install the Back-Up fuse into its proper location in the M/B (Main fuse box). 7.
