Exporting Current Settings
In the case of using an existing vehicle configuration on several other vehicles, the MDR provides an ‘export to USB’ (current configuration)
flash drive feature.

with an identical configuration file.

empty
USB flash drive into the front USB socket of the MDR.

Importing Settings from USB
This process is used for duplicating particular settings onto several units.
(a) Plug a USB flash drive into the front USB socket of the MDR containing a configuration file (named MDVRCFG.CFG) on the root.
