Has anyone had issues where one day, they could no longer get any maps to display on their D3?

 

I have the West Region 90MT disc via SWDW / Mike. Everything was fine for a month - and this morning, the map display died. Radio, iPod, Steering Wheel control work - just cannot get any map to ever come up.

 

I did a reset of the entire nav unit (ball point pen next to the eject button), removed and re-inserted the disc - but I can never get the nav system to ever display a map.

 

When I do the ball point pen reset of the unit (90MT disc is in the unit) - it tells me it is checking the disc and then I get a quick Pioneer splashscreen. It then tells me that it's trying to switch to memory mode and that it may take 30 seconds - and I wait several minutes and no luck.

 

I still have my original 80MT Pioneer disc. Should I try to revert back to that disc to determine if I have a disc issue or a DVD-ROM / laser issue?

 

What's the process to go from SWDW's 90MT back to Pioneer's 80MT?

 

Thanks guys.

MORRPHUS WROTE THIS BELOW

Fix for an upgrade gone wrong:

If you find yourself with a non working unit or corrupted map data after the upgrade do not despair, there is still hope to "downgrade" your unit. First go to system settings and change the language (doesn't matter if it's to French or Spanish) Let the unit "upgrade" your unit again and make sure it goes well and finishes. then change the language back to English, but hit the eject button before the unit has a chance to start the upgrade. You will see "insert the appropriate disc" message. Take your old working disc (CNDV-80MT) for example and place it in the unit. IT will then "Upgrade" to the older version. You should now have your old version in English.

Sounds like a bad disk happens from time to time.. I sent you a replacment

The downgrade procedure worked just fine.

Thanks for sending a replacement disk; hopefully that'll do the trick.

Hey I really could use a set of the CNDV-90MT Discs. I downloaded a version off the internet and now all I get is Please Insert the Appropriate Disc. No Buttons No Sound, Nothing. I use it in my work truck so I am hoping with a good set of disks this should take care of the problem.

Any updates on seeds?

I have been having this problem also. It would not work and I would have to shut the truck off and restart. Then it would work. On saturday it started making noise in the disk drive. I thought maybe my AVIC was breaking down. By the end of the day it did not work at all and kept saying insert appropriate disk. I tried the west disk and it did not work and made noise. I went to best buy looking for a new unit. I then looked closer at the disk and it was splitting. My east disk is now in 2 pieces. I ended up ordering the disks from pioneer. I downgraded to the old discs and it works fine. Check your disc from SWDW and see if it is splitting.

I see that a couple of people are having a problem with a set of disks they got from me...

What i would like to tell you is that a few sets when out with a paper printed labels on them and that is the problem.The disk can go out of balance and the label may lift causing non read or insert appropriate disk error.

Know that I STAND behind anything that I have sold and as the people that have bought from know my contact info comes with the set of disks i sent you....... THE only disks i do now are full printed disks NO PAPER

So please if you have a set with a paper label PM me and we can Exchange them........please also note that out of

300 + sets their has only been two replacements

Curious guys.. on the pioneer website it used to say "(AVIC-N5, AVIC-N4, AVIC-N3, AVIC-N2, AVIC-N1, AVIC-D3, AVIC- D2, AVIC-D1, AVIC-88D, AVIC-80D, AVIC-90D, and AVIC-9DVD)"

and that was according to google cache

now according to their site it says "(AVIC-N5, AVIC-N4, AVIC-N3, AVIC-N2, AVIC-N1, AVIC-D3, AVIC- D2, AVIC-D1)"

I've got a guy who purchased a set of disks but cannot get them to work with his avic-9dvd anyone know whats wrong with this?

The latest East & West set are still out there in usenet. I just D/l & burned the East disc on Verbatim DVD+ R DL. I made 3 coasters using my Vista box, but ubuntu 9.10 (via k3b) at 4x had no problems. Both pc's have sony Lightscribe capable dual layer DVD writers.

easynews is your friend.

THAT CHANGED ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THEY WERE RELEASED

FILES ARE MISSING FOR THESE UNITS (AVIC-88D, AVIC-80D, AVIC-90D, and AVIC-9DVD)"

ALL THOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE TO PUT THE FILES IN FROM THE MT 80 DISKS TO MAKE THE 90MT WORK IN THOSE UNITS

SWDW I got the disks inthe mail yesterday and so far work flawless thank you so much

Those of you wanting to download a torrent I reposted it, Looks like there is still seeders on my torrent from the last time around...

Spider, your torrent worked excellent. Thanks to all the seeders. I haven't burned yet but will let you know the results when I do.

Welcome glad SWDW and myself have helped everyone here... or atleast we tried

Just another thumbs up for imgburn. I used to burn 80MT discs with DVD Decrypter, and it appears that the write functions of these two tools are identical.

I tried burning the image with a different utility and it verified ok, but gave me a "Reading error" in my AVIC-D3. Burned another copy with imgburn and this one came out just fine. The bottom burned portions of the discs even looked different, like the other software messed up one of the tracks somehow. Never knew software could have such a profound effect on burning an image. The burn and verification takes about an hour per disc.

The unit updated and I'm now running the 90MT. Thanks again!
