Preparation for Map Activation
In order to perform navigation map activation (procedures for start-of-use) during the transport mode
deletion procedure, it is necessary to order a license key in advance. It is necessary to determine the
pre-delivery work schedule in coordination with the sales staff and perform the Dealer User
Registration and Ordering License Key procedures described below.
Dealer User Registration
Navigate to www.supramapactivation.com and complete dealer user registration.
NOTE
User registration only needs to be completed once. If already registered, go to the Ordering License Key
section of this bulletin. Refer to the Map Activation Order Request Guide for complete
registration instructions.
Ordering License Key
Navigate to www.supramapactivation.com and order a license key.
NOTE
Refer to the Map Activation Order Request Guide for complete ordering instructions.
To place the order, enter the vehicle VIN and select the applicable country.
Orders can be submitted 24 hours a day, but order processing times are limited. Therefore, orders
need to be placed in advance according to the schedule for PDS.
Time from order placed until order completed:
From same day to max. 3 days (no processing on weekends).
If an order is placed just before a scheduled order processing time, the order may be processed at the
next scheduled order processing time.
Order processing times (Central European Time):
Monday – Friday, 9:45 AM, 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 9:00 PM.
Orders are processed in Europe and will therefore follow European daylight savings (summer) time.
The European daylight savings time schedule differs from the USA schedule.
After the order has been received, an email will be sent to the address that was provided during user
registration to inform you of the time at which processing is expected to be completed.
As long as ISTA is connected to the internet, the ordered license key will automatically populate in
ISTA during the navigation map activation procedure. (No physical object will be sent to the dealer.)
Activation MUST be completed within 30 days of the license key order.
If activation is NOT completed within 30 days of the license key order, the license key will become
invalid, and it will be necessary to order a NEW license key.
The 4-year free update period is calculated from the completion of the license key order, NOT from
the activation timing.

Transport Mode Deletion Procedure
Transport mode disables various electrical functions while the vehicle is being shipped to help
prevent the vehicle battery from being drained. While in transport mode, the “Transport Mode
Indicator” is displayed on the combination meter. The indicator will turn off after transport mode is
deleted. Follow these steps to delete transport mode using the Supra diagnostic
application (ISTA).
NOTE
In the procedure below, the language setting in ISTA is British English (en-GB), which is the default
setting. If you have changed the language setting to English for the United States (en-US), you may
see different terminology within ISTA (e.g., Operations Cases).
Transport mode deletion procedure screen flows and content may vary depending on ISTA version.
To perform the transport mode deletion procedure, it is necessary to connect to the Internet.
1. Connect the battery charger to the vehicle.
NOTE
When deleting transport mode, keep the battery charger connected throughout the procedure and
make sure the battery voltage remains at 12.3V or higher. If the voltage decreases below 12.3V,
a message may be displayed on the ISTA screen instructing the technician to connect the
battery charger.
When AGM batteries are charging, the maximum charging voltage of 14.8V at room temperature
must NOT be exceeded. Do NOT use rapid-charging programs.
When charging, use the jump-starting terminals located under the hood.
When the vehicle is stored for a long period of time, charge the battery to 12.9V every six weeks.
2. While connected to Wi-Fi, connect Techstream to the DLC3 port using the Supra
diagnostic cable.
NOTE
Check that the date and time on the PC are correct.
3. Press the Start-Stop (engine switch) three times within 0.8 seconds to enter Diagnostics
(PAD) Mode.
