Ok, here is my status update.
After verifying ALL 6 downloads, and all 6 burns, i thought something was up with my unit itself since everything else checked out. So i bring all 6 dvds outside, try them all, reset the unit before and after each try, and still nothing.
Then while the dvd was in the unit, i tried pressing the reset and the eject at the same time, then let go of the reset and hold the eject for about 2 second, then let go. BINGO, that worked! Unit booted up, everything was fine! So i figured i would go for a little drive and make sure the nav worked 100%. Everything worked
