Receiving Content

NOTE: Heated (metalized) windshields could degrade the performance of the MSN® Direct receiver.

It can take several hours to receive all the content the first time you use the MSN Direct receiver, after you have traveled long distances, or after you have not used your MSN Direct Receiver for several days.

There is a (non-user replaceable) rechargeable battery in the MSN Direct receiver that allows it to receive and store updates for several days, even when not connected to external power.
