Help ... How can you change the country code with the Tech 2 tool?

Sending a car to Europe and I need to change the point of sale (country code) to EU. I finally fount the point of sale listed as USA in the navigation menus but I can not find a place in the BCM to send a new message to the unit to change it to Europe.

I need to do this so the Navigation unit will work correctly as well as the radio functions.

Naturally I tried this today while GM tech was closed!

Thanks

The first page of options should be Country of Origin. Change as necessary. Finish by clicking "save options" on the following pages. Hope this works for you.

PS...as you probably know, the original disc in the nav only covers the US and Canada. While you have the tech 2 connected, go into "radio" also, and check your choice of countries there.

Just received my C6, imported from US, and as far as Navigation is concerned, the only thing I had to do was to buy the Europe DVD from a local dealer here in Sweden. It works perfectly.
