If you burned and verified it 100% and still not working, the other problem could be the discs. Try a different brand. Some brand works better than others. Try Verbatim ones.

Anyone know the answer to the following scenerio?

I was able to burn the iso and it seemed to update fine in my D3 (ie said "update completed" and showed the correct version) and the navigation even worked for a while, then all of a sudden I got the "insert appropriate disk" message. I've tried different brands of disks and burn programs at different speeds. Still nothing, in fact, it seems like the more disks I try the worse it gets. My question is once it says it has updated completely and you start getting the above message are you pretty much screwed and have to downgrade to the original disk and start over with a new update, or will getting a good working disk solve all the problems? I am waiting on a remote right now so I can downgrade because I am tired on buring disks and I have pushed to reset button so much I am afraid it might get stuck or stop working. If anyone has had the above scenerio occur and eventually get the navigation to work please help me out.

i had the same problem as you described above, my d3 also turned black with an error message: DVD ROM has problems. But all that went away after I used the memorex disc.

I have a lightscribe dvd+-writter/ cd writter. Will this work for burning onto a dual layer dvd?? from what I'm reading on the net lightscribe and dual layer are different???

 

thanks

Lightscribe is a technology that allows your burner to also put an image or text on the top side of the disc, if you of course have light scribe disc. I use lightscribe disc for things like Proposals I send to clients instead of writing on it with a sharpie. A Dual Layer disc has 2 layers that information is written on the disc. I am not sure if their are DL lightscribe disc but your burner should be able to burn Dual Layer disc

i had the same problem as you described above, my d3 also turned black with an error message: DVD ROM has problems. But all that went away after I used the memorex disc.

I tried both memorex and verbatim. I wonder if the write speed of the disk matters? Both brands I used were 2.4X. Maybe I should try the 8X; any thoughts? Did anybody get any brand of 2.4X speed disks to work?

Slower is usually better

I tried to do the update, then when it was finish it say enter in correct disk... how do i reset it back to how it was before, i already tried the button

I finally fixed my GPS after ordering the CD-R22 remote and following the downgrade instructions. The only thing I would add to the instructions is that there is a switch on the right of the remote that changes the function from DVD to TV to AVH; you have to have the AVH function selected in order to put the password in since the numbers won't work otherwise. You will know the numbers are being entered because it will make a beeping sound with each number.

burning slower is better. i used 8x disc but burned on 2x

So, i am just giving everyone an FYI about the cndv 80 disc. After using about 3 discs, i FINALLY got it to work. I ended up using a memorex dl disc. However, when i burned it with imgburn, it did NOT work. I then tried with Nero 7, burned it, verified it (verification of files FAILED!!!), but that disc still worked to upgrade the system and everything looks fine. So, i guess in short, i would recommend using NERO over imgburn. Just thought i'd share my failure/sucess story. Good luck!

im not looking a gift horse in the mouth here, but ive downloaded the east zip file three times now. each time i try to get the iso file out of the zip and it tells me the zip file is corrupted.

anyone else see this/?

are you using the direct link, or are you using an ftp cleint? I had an issue with the direct link (corrupt), but when i re downloaded with Flashfxp, it worked just fine.

can someone please make me a working copy of the "west" disk.. please let me kno

i used the direct link

try using a ftp cleint like flashfxp to download the file, that way if the file interupts at any time, it can finish the download. i think they charge for it, but you can just use the evaluation version.

What is the file size? it should be 3,603,349,881 bytes. Did you use winzip to unzip?

i used XP's explorer to extract it. XP can open and extract zip files natively. Ive never had an issue doing that in the past 5 years.

only thing i can thing of is try winzip? again use the evaluation copy. I;m not sure what it could be, I'm just telling you everything that worked for me

thanks. i used winrar. i got the dvd made. i went to my avic. put it in. the upgrade went sucessfully. BUT in navi mode, i cannot set my region, it shows up as 0.

so i cant do POI searches.

hurmph, that didn't happen to me. Did you try turning it off and then back on? I know when i put my disc back in, i had to re set my region. I'm sure you tried hitting the region button. I have a n3, so i'm not quite sure how it looks on your unit.

i finally downloaded the files and burned my disk. put it in, the upgrade looked like it went fine. then, i tried to do a POI search to see if it was any better.. I cant set my region! the USA map is set at 0, and when i press it, it just sets me back at the main map.

after doing that oh.. about 20 times in frustration and say 'uhh???'.. the D3 starts freakin out at me, and now it would suddenly reboot while driving and give me a black screen while the radio is playin. Once i got the inappropriate disk message and then it FINALLY mapped me to my destination, but now my POI search buttons, etc are all greyed out.

am i fubared??

Again, when i had a partially working upgrade disc, the exact same thing happened on my N3. it turned out my upgrade disc did not burn correctly. Did you try burning with Nero 7, AND verifying the files after it burned? I would'nt get too worried yet, you can always reset the radio and start over with your old map disc (not quite sure how on a d3, but i'm pretty sure it can be done. upgrading to cndv 80 was a lot more difficult than upgrading to cndv 70, atleast for me, but after using about 8 discs, i finally got it to work.

i used imageburn to make my disc.

Just successfully made the east disk first try. Used a Memorex dual layer disk and "Burnaware free" to create it.
