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

Hmmm, that's different. Is your disc rather old? My previous disc was CNDV-70MTP. There are other parts like GPS, System, etc. On mine, all those things matched the N5 disc, the only difference was the missing PRG file. When I did a file compare on mine, all the UC010*.* files matched mine.

If you got the PRG from an older disc with an older version, all the other files are probably newer so that's why you've got mismatched files and it tried to update the language and other parts. Total guess, but I think using an older disc, you're going to need to also copy over the UC050*.* files for the D1/D2 in order for it to not update. Probably the only reason I didn't need to is my previous disc was CNDV-70MTP.

Yeah, this is definitely not the official retail release. It's an "OEM" version specific for the N5. The CJ1226blahblah (forget exactly) version number is an indication of that, the real release will have a version starting with CNDV-80MP.

Gnat, where have you been this whole time?? Wish I knew what you did, I'd still have a DL disk left over to try out copying the 70 file over to this one. Thank you for giving your insite to this one, I'm totally in the dark in regards to the file structure.

What do you think, is it worth it to try and do this? Or just wait for the 80 release? With the map updated, does the nav track okay? or is it all over the place?

I did what GnatGoSplat suggested to do, and it worked for me too. Like him, I had the CNDV-70MTP update previously installed, so I had no icons or anything out of order, and the best thing is I have the new map updates. That's all I really wanted anyway, at least until the actual release of the CNDV-80MT for my unit (AVIC-80DVD) comes out.

so does this work with all D series and N series navies?

Hey All,

Props to the people who made this possible. I don't have a use for the west disc, but I downloaded it and I'm seeding it to help keep it alive. However right now there are 8 seeds and 2 peers haha.. So Not a whole lot of people downloading it. I've got decent speeds, but to keep my stuff useable, I've capped it at 30K during the day.

Enjoy!

eGo

Hi Gnat,

If you can combine old PRG and new map to create disk for avic-9dvd, can I expand your theory and use new west disk PGM and old east map to create new PGM east disk for D3?

If yes, which DVI.dat I should use?

Thanks,

HT2

Just curious, what would you gain using the newer PRG with the older maps on the D3?

DVI.DAT seems to be linked to the PRG, so if you're wanting to use the newer PRG, I'd try the newer DVI.DAT. I can't guarantee that will work though, so I'll warn you that you might waste a few DVD-DL's before you find a combo that works!

If you got the PRG from an older disc with an older version, all the other files are probably newer so that's why you've got mismatched files and it tried to update the language and other parts. Total guess, but I think using an older disc, you're going to need to also copy over the UC050*.* files for the D1/D2 in order for it to not update. Probably the only reason I didn't need to is my previous disc was CNDV-70MTP.

i have the V1.2 disc for the D1. could i just overwrite the map data on the old disc with the newer files? what files would i have to copy over in order for that to work?

Just curious, what would you gain using the newer PRG with the older maps on the D3?

1.Using updated PRG with east coast disk.(Couple east cost friends asked this)

2.There is a report that we can't use old east disk once updated with new west disk.

Thanks,

HT2

If i put the old disc back in, will it make my system angry?

See page9 near botom romney's post.

EAST COAST - DO NOT UPDATE

 

If you update the AVIC-D3 with the west 80 disc, you will NOT be able to use your 70 east disc for navigation. You will see the following screen.

I read on this forum a few days ago there is a way to reset the system so u are able to use the older versions once again. I can't remember what thread it was tho but there is a way.

Is anyone else having this problem? Is the .torrent uploaded anywhere else.

my new west coast disk from the torrent worked fine thanks guys avic411 ftw

I'm still seeding this non-stop. Will continue to do so.. Hoping an east disc pops up soon!

eGo

LOL, you guys are crazy

all this agrivation and taking a chance on toasting your nav just for 10 extra streets in your map database

laughable

Anyone know a way to backdate the firmware on the D3 to use the OEM D3 disc just in case???

Thanks to Cozmo85 in the hacks section, yes (if you have the remote).

I updated a D3 with this, no problem. Took that same disc to a D2 and got "Insert Appropriate Disc".

Yeah, if you read the thread you'd know why.

Just posting my own personal results there buddy. I never asked why.

Me? Nuts? Nah, you're just too paranoid.

You're not going to do permanent damage with a map disc. Worst case scenario, you have to downgrade to use the old discs. It's no big deal, the only cost is a little bit of time and a buck & a quarter for a dual layer blank.

Besides, it's fun to play around with something new. It's not like messing around with a new nav disc increases your risk of lung cancer or catching herpes.

i am lost. lost me at download this and this. open it with this. unzip it with this and convert it to this. us this program to burn it. why can it be a simple way. jess. can someone help me on this. i'm looking for winzip pragram that i think my stepdad has. if someone can pm me and walk me through, step by step. i have a DVD/RW writer. i downloaded what was on page 6 and it went to my limewire program. but i can get it for roxio. please help. thanks. i'm not verygood at computers here, so please help.

How about a thread dedicated to the d1 mods needed for the new disk in the hack section.
