girlygirl Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I reset the unit and uploaded the new disc again, everything works perfectly. If anyone has updated successfully but is having a few glitches in the software, I would recommend reseting the unit and then uploading the disc again." Thanks for this tip! I had the same problem with my mp3 disc and was at a loss. Glad to find someone who had the same problem and posted the solution! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ReedH Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Jlong, Does your server have the "actual 80MT" West disk that will update all series yet? I noticed you said you were posting it last night but didn't notice a change in anything on the server. Thanks for hosting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flipper Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Unzipping etc now and will have to get a dl disk before I can burn it but can someone verify for me... will this update erase my saved addresses etc when it updates? I guess I could just go copy them down but... To the person with all the corrupt file errors etc.. I also had a msg when I 1st tried to unpack that the file was corrupt I went and dl'd the latest version of 7-zip and the same file that was reported as being corrupt before unzipped fine. Whenever youre dealing with an img file or a compressed file that "someone else" made, it's always best when you get errors or failed burns (before you go driving yourself nuts) to update all your software. If newer software was used to make the file then you currently have installed "duh" LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wast3d Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Just tried the East one on a D1 and it works like a charm. Thanks big time for your help folks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SavageX25 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Not sure if anything has changed, but the .rar that I downloaded from THIS server for EAST was incorrect. Unrared it was around 4 gigs, which is incorrect. I downloaded the torrent version which unrared is around 7.41gb, burned it with Nero 9 (Magic Iso apparently didn't want to burn it correctly) and it worked perfectly. Used Memorex DL. Is the east on this server, correct now? The rar files seems to say 3.4gb, even compressed that is STILL too small. Winrar doesn't compress past (or even close) to half the file size...so I think the EAST one is still incorrect on this server. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

firebirdude Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Chalk up another successful download/installation. Took a few times of downloading to get a complete copy that would unzip with errors, but I got em. Burned with Nero 7 at 2.4X. Took damn near an hour per disc. But finished without errors and updated D3 without a hitch. This upgrade does erase all your backgrounds and resets SOME BUT NOT ALL of your personal settings. (Beep volume was reset. Saved destinations, EQ settings, button color, background color, etc were not changed) EDIT: And I made the torrent I said I was going to. Will be seeding for the next few days solid. http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4440547 ... DV-80MT_(2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ntosdad Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I just bought a D3 off of ebay but it didn't come with any navagation disc. Do I need the orginals disc or can I use the update disc that are out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wast3d Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 you can use the image on the server, it will update your device and then you will be able to use it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dakka Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I dowloaded the zip file from the ftp server a week ago but only today was I able to test it (I had to wait for some blank Dual Layer Memorex DVDs to arrive in the mail). It works great! Scared the hell out of me when the screen went black for about 20 seconds but then it said "Updating" and a progress bar ran thru to 100% and then the unit rebooted. After it came back up it now says Pioneer 5/2008 on the boot up screen. THis is for Avic-D3 I used "7-zip" to unzip the file. Then I used "DVD-Decrypter" to write the iso image to a dual layer dvd+r Memorex brand at 4x Much thanks to the uploader and the person who hosted this file on their ftp server. You Rock!!

thejugglingguy Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Help Please. I have dl both the East and West files. Extracted to iso. East is 7.9 gb and West is 8.3 gb.
