How to redeem a prepaid or activation code
If you have received a prepaid or activation code, you can use it to unlock map updates, subscriptions, or other navigation content. These codes can only be redeemed once and usually need to be activated through the Naviextras Toolbox.
1. Before you begin
Make sure you have:
- A valid prepaid or activation code in one of the following formats:
- XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX
- XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
- Your navigation system, SD card, or USB drive connected to your computer, depending on your model.
- The correct version of the Naviextras Toolbox installed.
- A working internet connection.
Prepaid and activation codes may be included in your navigation system's packaging, provided by a distributor, or purchased separately.
For some navigation systems, activation codes can also be purchased on the Naviextras website.
Important: Most prepaid and activation codes must be redeemed in the Toolbox, even if they were purchased on the website. They cannot normally be redeemed directly on naviextras.com unless stated otherwise.
