No disrespect to anybody but how do u manage to get an N5 with only the west disc? Was that question already asked and answered? It jus puzzels me... I even tried callin an audio store my friend works at to see if he had any N5's in and to lend me the demo disc to burn but he been off work since he broke his leg. Its out there BUT to find it

I agree. I would be mad if I bought a n5 and it only came with the west disc. Did the guy loose it? He never said what happened to it.

Im real grateful for what all the members have done for each other BUT just curious on how u only get the west disc in the package thats all.

I asked this question back on page 10 to infinkc specifically, but never did get a reply... oh well, you can't really look a gift horse in the mouth .... I guess we will eventually get the Eastern disc.

There was also comments (from romney) that this does have a firmware update and that it seems to have some performance gains, (though that could be from the map data as well...)

Once, the firmware update is complete, the disc will function like a normal NAV disc. One thing I have noticed is that the map is faster and locating POI's is faster too.

So for everyone saying its only map data, it might be more then that, (though I agree its probably not anything to revolutionary). For the people on the West coast and having done the upgrade, would you say it was consistently better, (now that the novelty of something new is over?)

okay Im gettin one step closer. Even tho its for the Euro D3's u never know what u might find in this forum. BUT if we all pull together and do searches we MIGHT find the North American version.

I burned the disk a few times now and keep getting this message when I stick it in my N1, "Please Insert Appropriate Disk".

I burnt it with Alcohol 120% after converting it from UIF to ISO. First burn was at Maximum, second burn was at 2.4x(slowest allowable with my burner). I exploreed the disks and all the folders look like they are there but like I said, I stick it in the N1 and no go.

Does this disk not work with the N1?

So I'm trying to burn this to a disc and I haven't been successful yet. When looking at the completed disc, should I see the different folders contained in the .iso, or should I see only the one .iso file?

And thanks for getting this up

Same thing happened to me.

Anyone get this to work on an N1?

try to use clonecd to burn it instead

any always burn the disc at MAX speed do not try to lower the burning speed it will only do harm than good

I have just verified that this disc works on the D3.

I am willing to help out AVIC 411 members by burning this disc for them and shipping it to them there will be a small fee to cover cd costs and such.

thanks for all the help guys!

contact me at: asaca224 @ yahoo .com

Maybe this is why they delayed the release of the disks, because it doesn't work in some models.....?

My experience is the opposite. I always burn nav and even video DVDs at minimum possible speed. They are glitchy or don't even work at all when burned at max speed.

Burning at lowered speed has a few draw backs, so in short without extensive explaination... if having trouble with any kind of burn its always good to try and lower the speed. Just dont go too low it can effect playback... if you can find out what speed the drive is that will be playing the disk its a good idea to go with that speed for your recording. When in doubt burn at 4x or 8x

I don't think these disks not working has anything to do with the speed they are burnt at. There was another person getting the same message as me. They have a D3 and I have an N1. Anyone else getting the error message "Please Insert Appropriate Disk" ? Post which system you have.

Jus a small update. As we all kno we on a mission tryin 2 get the new EAST COAST 2008 disc correct??? Well I called my friends work to see if he back at work and he was in today BUT left early. Im a call him tomorrow cause they say he in and ask if they have the AVIC N5 in and if so Im a ask him to lend me the EAST COAST disc IF they got it. And thats when y'all come in and guide me on how to upload it. BUt remember thats IF he gots them in.

Hey guys,

I had a guy I work with download and burn the update for me because I really don't know my head from my a$$ with all this stuff. Put the disk in my D3, it went through a short update process and I thought I was good to go. I noticed new roads and everything on my way home from work. Then I tried a vicinity search for a restaurant and it basically froze up. Same this happens when I try a POI search. I had a couple addresses saved already and it would map those but nothing new. It was also doing a horrible job of directing me from my local YMCA back home.

Can anyone help me here?? Something went wrong in the download I'm guessing??

I just downloaded and burned the disc. It didn't initially work on my AVIC-9DVD either, however, I went into Test Mode and discovered the reason why. The Application Program for my AVIC-9DVD is missing from the disc (EU010APT.PRG file). The AVIC-9DVD has a cool feature in that it can read missing files from the PC Card slot, so I copied the missing PRG, the matching HTM file (probably not necessary), and DVI.DAT to the PC Card and now the DVD will boot up.

The PRG file is definitely missing for the AVIC-D1/D2 also, and I suspect it won't work on AVIC-N1, N2, and N3 either.

The only PRG that's present is EU070APL.PRG. As far as I know, here is a list of PRG files and which device uses it:

EU010APT.PRG - AVIC-9DVD, 8DVD, 80DVD, 88DVD.

EU040APL.PRG - AVIC-N1, N2, N3??? This one I'm not too sure about.

EU050APL.PRG - AVIC-D1, D2

EU070APL.PRG - AVIC D3, N4, N5

In theory, you should be able to copy the appropriate PRG and DVI.DAT from whatever disc you got the PRG file to the disc and it should boot and work. DVI.DAT contains info on the disc and program versions. You must use the DVI.DAT from your old disc because the DVI.DAT on the new disc won't work. I would also copy the matching EU0x0APL.HTM file just in case... the boot process may do file checking, who knows. You definitely won't see any program updates this way, but at least the map will be newer. In fact, on mine it didn't even change the boot screen.

So I'm trying to burn this to a disc and I haven't been successful yet. When looking at the completed disc, should I see the different folders contained in the .iso, or should I see only the one .iso file?

it works now, thanks

sweet..dlin now

My D3 boots up just fine and everything works great till I actually try plotting a new course of some kind. It will plot an existing course from my address book (apparently that doesn't get deleted in the update process) but when I select a loaction or POI it will basically lock up when it goes to actually plot the course.

The only thing I could think of was just to try re-burning the disc and see what happens. Maybe a glitch in the burn or on the disc...???

ok, i did what gnat said for my D1 and it kinda worked. the main problem is that it does update the firmware. the menus are all messed up now. they have the wrong labels on the buttons and some buttons just say 'empty'. so you kinda just have to remember where the buttons are supposed to be. i can see a few new features but havent tested them out yet. oh, and of course the maps and POIs are updated, as far as i can tell anyways. i dont recommend going with this method unless you know what files to delete off the disc image to stop it from updating your hardware. i tried putting in the old 1.2 disc. the only thing that it changed is the map, some areas are just missing. if anyone knows how to roll back the software please help!

ok, i had my original disc in the drive and i figured maybe the menus in another language were ok so i switched it to french. when it switched over it also loaded the firmware from my original disc. so now im good to go. but if someone can figure out what files to delete to stop the system from updating with the new disc then we would all be set...except for the east coast guys

No need to rub it in

Im still on the hunt for the east coast disc but no luck... Called up my boy today at work and they don't have ANY N5's NOR any N4's I think Pioneer might be gettin ROBBED by me in the days to come if they keep this shit up.

NavyMike192 - Fellow D1 owner, very interested in adjusting these files to get this iso to work. Did you change both/replace both of the files mentioned in GnatGoSplat's post? But I guess this confirms that it's not the actualy 80mp release from pioneer. Might be why they're waiting so long to release this years update, even they're having trouble getting it to work on all DVD models.
