its been ages since i've installed it the first time, once you do its always on your storage card & you just "re-initialize" it to get your icons back. but back to your question, if i remember right you just do what you can to get out of that screen so you can get to the unit id screen & crack it. if for some reason garmin cant connect i want to say try loading google maps or live search with the gps on & then leave one of them open while starting garmin. this should keep the gps active so garmin can talk to it the first time. like i said its been ages since i originally installed it, so i'm simply going from my memory, which can be a bit hazy lol
