The US models Z1, Z2 and Z3 are named HD1BT, HD3BT and HD3BT-II in Europe/UK. They have a different radio part (with diferent frequency grid and TMC), so you can not use the US firmware update. The update DVD you can buy in Europe will upgrade a lower version to the latest HD3-II spec ( maps and firmware) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashg Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 ok i shall re-phrase does anyone have a UK HD3-II image that i could load on to a new hdd to upgrade my HD1BT. If not then i will just buy the disc. Cheers Ash Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vaernes Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I have sucessfully updated a HD1BT to HD3-II HD3-2 firmware software. I bought a HD3-II and a HD1BT and followed the instructions on this forum for Z1 - Z3 upgrade. I used a Toshiba MK6034GAX 60GB disk with enlarged music partition. Will try Toshiba MK8032GAX 80GB disk soon (1-2 weeks). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vaernes Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Are there anyone who has an idea of how to get some speed camera info for the European Avic HD units? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
merc07 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I have the speed camera data for the UK, I am looking for the UK/European map upgrade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vaernes Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 How old is that speed cam data, and is it only for the UK? Is it on a CD? Have you tried to install it on a unit? I am waiting for the European 2009 maps to arrive - who knows when that will be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
merc07 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 The data is the last one TeleAtlas produced - 2007. Does fixed cameras in the UK only - Still accurate in my view. Guess it could be modified though. It is written to a CD then inserted to the HD and automatically installs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
