bear25314 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I have a 8000nex. Im able to download map to update onto my usb drive from naviextras.com. Once I successfully download the map update to the usb and start the update in my 8000nex I get an errorsaying "update package is invalid". I have prepped the usb 3 times in the nex unitand downloaded the updates 3 times and tried to update 3 times but I keep getting thissame error. Anyone else experience this? Thanks.

Multitask Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'm sure that you did this, but make sure you picked the 8000 and not the 8100, or 8200, or even one of the others... IF you did everything right, then I'd get ahold of them.... maybe their website did something wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bear25314 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Thanks for the reply. I let the head unit actually load onto my usb first as is required and then inserted the usb into my laptop and then went online to allow the site to download the appropriate maps required to update my unit. Still got the error message though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Multitask Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 But you have to tell the site what unit you are updating.... when I first got my 4100 (with the U260) , I told it that.... then I got my 8100, I had to tell it that I was updating that... Ya might want to go back and just make sure.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bear25314 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Thanks, I will do that. I do have an Avic 8000nex. On the site it shows an Avic 8000nex UC. Would that be the same or is that a unit from another country? That is the only 8000nex that I can pick from on the Naviextras.com site. Thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Multitask Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 As a guess, try it with a different USB stick.... I've read that the units can be picky.... Also make sure that NOTHING else is on there. If you did it with a Mac, there are hidden files that start with a period like .somefile You'd have to either do it on a PC, or use the terminal to remove them.

bear25314 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 So I tried with a different usb stick and I received the same error "update package is invalid". I also tried to format it again and download the map updates again and still received the same error. I think I've given up. Also, on my iPhone 6plus. AvicSync now doesn't display the maps anymore. I deleted the AvicSync and re-installed it and still no maps. I'm totally at a loss. I'm pretty good at figuring these things out but this one has me stumped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Della Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 .... AvicSync now doesn't display the maps anymore. I deleted the AvicSync and re-installed it and still no maps. I'm totally at a loss. I'm pretty good at figuring these things out but this one has me stumped. Same here. I've decided AvicSync is such crap, it's not even worth trying to figure it out anymore. Permanently deleted.

Multitask Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Same here. I've decided AvicSync is such crap, it's not even worth trying to figure it out anymore. Permanently deleted. Me too, I use the internal maps, and only the Android Auto because it can do the voice lookup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bear25314 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I've tried everything. I never have problems with the update process but this is the first time I have ever tried updating the maps and I still get the same error, "update package is invalid". Kinda weird.
