If each coast is under 4G each, why must it be burnt to a DL disk? Obviously the D3 reads single layer DVDs, so what's the deal with that?

 

Also, how in the heck did they manage to get the file size so small? I thought the last update was like 6GB per disc??

 

Lastly, I'm downloading Spiders torrent files now. They're moving along pretty good. Once I have them complete, I will continue to seed for a long ass time. My computer rarely turns off.

They are compressed my friend

7.55 gb east and 7.91gb west

Is anyone having problems with "bit creep"? SWDW...since you help with so many of the disks, have you had problems for people months after getting your disks finding they just won't work anymore? Perhaps I just have a dirty lens? About a year ago I updated to the 80MT, and even using Imgburn or Nero or anything else, with verified taiyo-yuden DL media, it seems like everything will work great for a few weeks, maybe a month, and then the unit starts locking up every other time I start my vehicle. I'll burn a new disk and it seems to go away, or do the language reset once or twice and it will go away for a few weeks to a month again. I'm thinking there is a ROM issue in the unit, but at this point I don't have the money to dump $600-800 to buy a new model and getting this one repaired probably isn't worth the money either.

It just seems like a combination of issues. No matter the disk version (I've downgraded back to the original 60MT before too), the color settings for the buttons no longer work. They'll only go red or dark. Half the time the buttons won't work at all which is also when the unit pretty much locks up into it's last position. E.g. if it was on NaV last, it will be on NAV but I can't really do anything with it. The touch-screen always works, but that won't always get me into the menu to bounce between AV and NAV functions.

My problems just always seem related to the disk. Even when I reverted back to the original Pioneer MT60 disk, I still have these problems, so that definitely wasn't the solution. I haven't found my lens cleaner CD just yet, but would that cause this problem? The fact that it's intermittent, and new disks or a software reset (language change) seems to fix it temporarily, leads me to believe it's something else in the hardware.

Hi,

It definitely sounds like your unit is having a read issue. The units internal battery could be weak meaning it losing its settings when powered off . I would also definitely clean the lens.. If the unit is on the older side there probably a dirt build up inside And with weather change it may slow down the laser lens movement IE lock up freeze up...

I have had only one complaint on my disks if you read back in the forums 1 guys disk blew in half . But nobody has told me that the disk stopped working after a while. I have a burnt set in my truck that are from day one when they came out STILL perfect

(the color settings for the buttons no longer work. They'll only go red or dark. Half the time the buttons won't work at all which is also when the unit pretty much)

This part you describe is hardware related or Rom based .... So you definitely have unit issues. Then my thinking goes to if there is a hardware issue to start with It will effect software..

SWDW: Are you using a user-specified layer break when burning these discs, or just leaving it at default (i.e. Calculate Optimal)? I remember there was a post last year when the 80MT discs came out suggesting a manual layer break of 2084960. At the time, I just followed the instructions and burned a successful copy in a single attempt, which is still working perfectly to this day.

Please advise.

I DO NOTHING SPECIAL ..

I use power Iso with data verification turned on. burned from a original disk.

What i can tell you is after making at-least 5000 disks is it all in the disk

Meaning i get runs of bad ones then burn 100 with no problems..

Mike :D

Hello SWDW,

Looks like you are the expert in this forum. I was wondering if I could buy the CNDV-90MT. I could download it my self but im just too lazy to buy the dvd and burn them. Are you still selling them ? If yes let me know what the link is.

Thanks !

PM me if you need a set

Thanks to everyone who was seeding. I'm paying it forward and seeding myself now. Use Spider's torrent from a few pages back.

God dammit, 2 more coasters. Verbatim DVD DL discs are expensive too.

A word of advice to most people: Just buy from SWDW. For all of the headaches and wasted discs in actually getting these to burn, it's worth it to just get it from him.

Ok gents I AM BACK rested and ready :D

If you need a set on disks PM me and i will ship same day .........

SWDW

Finally got it to burn using the included imgburn program. I must say, my Avic D3 is a bit snappier now. Load up time has dropped, and the music/radio starts up almost immediately while everything loads. A nice update.

I agree

Got my dvds from SWDW and they work great! Thanks!

i also received my discs from him and they work flawlessly

took about 3 business days from the day i sent payement! thats fast!

SWDW,

Just pm'd you.

Hey everyone, got a question....

First, thanks SWDW for trying to help me out!

Ok, is there such a thing as map updates without firmware updates? i.e. has anyone ever heard of putting the 80 or 90MT maps on a disc without any upgrade to your current AVIC system?

I have an AVIC-N1. It was super easy to bypass the motion safety stuff, just had to re-route the ground wire from the e-brake to another permanent ground. The N1 does not have the sticker-covered pins on the bottom of the brain that you can use to bypass the motion safety restriction. I recently bought some 90MT discs on ebay and stuck one in my N1. It upgraded my firmware and subsequently left me unable to use a majority of the functions on my system while in motion. I ended up using some instructions from AVIC411 to downgrade my system back to my orignal N1 discs. All is good again, but my maps are older than dirt!! Any success stories of upgrading an N1 to current maps and bypassing the safety stuff?? Thanks.

You are welcome................

If you need a set of disks PM me ....

It's one thing to post and download a torrent, no money is exchanged. But I have to admit, buying burned pirated maps from someone, that is just wrong. No one should make money off of pirated material. If you're too lazy or incompetent to do it yourself, then perhaps you should buy legit or live without? That's my two cents. If you're selling them, i hope you get caught and nailed to the wall.

I just purchased some from SWDW. I hope they are the real deal. If not that would be fine also as long as they work like they should. I can and have downloaded the disks but never used them. They are sitting on my HDD right now lol. I have however heard some good and bad about the burns so I will take my chances here first.

always one in the crowd that has to mix up the bowl without looking first... I have helped so many people here. I have answered there questions Taken there phone calls, You have not even read this forum AND NOW there is YOU..

Look no further seriously. I purchased one from SWDW, for my girlfriend's D3 and my D2 and he was more than helpful with communication, sharing shipping information, and even offering guidance if you're not as rehearsed with all the updates that may or may have to be done before upgrading to the new discs. Thank you for people like you!

Thanks Spider210.

Piratebay link is still working.

I downloaded the torrent, followed excellent video instructions, burned on to Verbatim dual layer at 2.4x.

I put it in my D3 and it took about 2 minutes for it to update and everything is running great.

Video instructions were the best.

Thanks for sharing.

Here is the torrent! works great. updated and in great working condition

Hey Guys,

I recently switched trucks & moved my D3 but I have no idea where the original navi discs are. Can I just get the newest version and be good to go, or do I need to do an upgrade first?

Thanks!!
