Kenwood KVT-516 w/ KNA-G610 POI Question

Hello.
I have recently installed a Kenwood KVT-516 head unit and Kenwood KNA-G610 hideaway Garmin module in my wife's vehicle to replace a window mounted Nuvi.
I was under the assumption that I would be able to add all her POI and vehicle (from Garmin Garage) files, that she had on her Nuvi, onto the G610 unit. However, I just got off the phone with Garmin's dealer tech support (since it's technically a Kenwood unit) and the gentlemen told me I would not be able to use anything other than what was preloaded on the device. Obviously my wife will be disappointed.
That said, I rarely accept the first answer I get. So, a Google search brought me here and to the following thread in particular: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/32193 . I am specifically very interested in the following post made by user "rjrsw" that stated:
"I have the built-in Kenwood KVT-516 Head Unit with the KNA G610 Kenwood/Garmin Navigation module and it has 4GB of memory. I Have no problem with the main map plus a supplemental map and the custom POI's fitting without using the SD card and I still have tons of memory left free in the GPS unit."
It sounds like he or she was able to do exactly what I'm wanting to do. Unfortunately the forums will not allow me to contact this user for more information.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me? rjrsw, are you still an active user here?
Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

rjrsw is using a laptop to look at the file/directory structure. I would suspect the op might be creating the pois and saving to the laptop instead of the "drive" and then moving the newly created poi.gpi to the proper directory.
Did you try and contact rjrsw? He/she has a contact tab.

look at the thread I posted and read all my posts in that thread
If you look at the thread I posted and read all my posts in that thread you will see how to load the custom vehicles using a laptop and the standard Garmin USB cord. You can also load other things that way also like updating the Junction View and map files.
