It goes in the bottom one. It goes in the slot that your Navigation disc was in.

You can use the CD that you already downloaded. Just insert it into the Nav DVD bottom slot

I tried it several times, it didn't work, it didn't download anything from the disc, clock works now but the date is still Feb 2001.
It only showed on the NAV screen, "The disc installed is not a MAP DVD".

The C6 electrical system is very quirky in my experience.

Many owners have reported that the clock display returned on its own, but I believe that if you check the date, it will be 20 years off. If you disconnect the battery, you may lose the clock again. Why not just download and apply the firmware fix and be done with it? The date and time will be correct, and it's permanent so you won't need to worry about disconnecting the battery.

Most folks will probably be burning a CD-R disk using Windows, but anyone who prefers to use Linux -- and Fedora Linux in particular -- to burn the downloaded 245_135A.iso file to a blank disk should use the "Brasero" application. Click on Project > New Project > Burn Image... :

Select a disk image to write to:
/home/username/Downloads/245_135A.iso
Select a disk to write to:
Blank CD-R Disk: 724.1 MB of free space

Then click on the Burn button.

Disconnect the battery, then reconnect and see what happens.

I know this thread is old. Just did this update. Couldn’t find a CD-R. Worked just fine as an extracted file burnt on DVD-R. Thanks to everyone who made this happen.
