i just wanna add a big THANKS for posting this update!!!
everyone, be sure to read the entire post from the beginning! many questions that people are asking have already been answered!
Yeah, I've been here at this site for about 3 months. And I never realllly had a reason to register, until today. Thanks a lot.
Thank you allsounds for all the hard work!
I'm crying right now for what allsounds did for us.
BIG Thanks.
Ok guys, just installed it. Everything ran smoothly and worked great. I tested it out by putting in one of my bars that opened less than a year ago and it was there!!!
I wanna thank infinkc for getting this to me to seed to you guys!
Cheers!
Sir, you and Infinkc officially ROCK!

For the Usenet junkies out there, I'll upload this to alt.binaries.warez this weekend.

That might have been funny a year ago...Thank you allsound and inkfinkc!!
Even tho I need the east coast, Thanks Allsound. Nuff respect my friend
OK- To everyone PMing me. I will no longer answer PM's regarding this torrent. Everything has been explained in this thread many times, but here it is again.
1. I only have the west coast disc.
2. Download the torrent file from the rapidshare link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/142615724/a ... rrent.html
3. Use your favorite torrent program do download this. Please don't bitch at me because of speed, I am seeding the best I can, and with over 40 people now downloading this things can go slow. YES I will continue to seed but will slow it down some over the weekend when I am home and not sleeping so I can actually use my internet connection.
4. unzip the .iso using winrar.
5. use magiciso to burn it to a DOUBLE LAYER DVD, not a regular 4.7 gig DVD.
6. When asked for the password before burning use the password "avic"
7. Let it burn, and go put it in your AVIC unit and it will upgrade, this is your map disk from now on.
If you have a problem then you fail at reading directions. Everything I posted here is what you need. It has also all been explained numerous times in this thread. Stop PMing me, I have things to do, not babysit.
Cheers! and thanks to the people seeding and following directions.
Also to add this is for Backup purposes ONLY. Many people need a backup since this disk is removed daily to play CDs or DVDs. If you do not own this disk then go buy it. I learned the expensive way with my original disks and they got all scratched up.

Yes good point this is for backup only!!!
will the N series accept dvd+r dl ?
Yes I must know what disks are recommended for burnin. Dual layer +R or -R???
I used a +R DL
allsounds (or anyone that has completed downloading and upgraded... )
Can you confirm that its ONLY map data, no update at all, (did anything seem different on the menus/display, version number, etc). I'm assuming all the Bypasses still work, etc...
Its still great news having a map update, but man I was hoping they would fix some stuff.
As others have mentioned, thanks to infinkc and allsounds for giving us all our ...ahh.. backups, ya that's the ticket,... backups, me and my wife, ... Morgan Fairchild... appreicate it, ...(ya I know, its super OLD!)
I did not notice any changes except to the maps, and the fact that the screen when you start it up shows 2008 instead of 2007.
i called Pioneer about it being an firmware update disk as well, and multiple times they told me it was just a map update.
Anyone else having issues with making a good copy that the avic will accept? I'm working with a D1 and it's telling me it's not the correct disk... 
^ what software are you using to burn the disk?
Also, try burning the disk at the slowest setting you can.
When you first put the disc into the AVIC-D3, it definately updates the firmware.
The firmware update will DELETE the following:
The firmware update will KEEP the following:
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.
BURN NOTE: Burn at 1X. DVD DL media is pricey to puck
