Hello everybody yea I know im a newb here just wanted to see if anyone was seeding the East disc? I been trying to download it for 2 days and its moving real slow once I get it i will seed it for whom ever needs the file.
just thought id say this west disc works great, downloaded burnt and works... dont understand why people are having problems
if you prefer other burning software, just use deamontools to mount the image then burn from "dvd" to dvd using any program.
only help i can think of for anyone out there 
I think most people having problems are having an issue because they aren't booktyping to DVD-ROM, either because they don't know how, or their burner is not capable of booktyping and they don't realize it.
Just because you check the booktype DVD+R media in alcohol 120, doesn't mean it will do it if your burner is incapable of booktyping.
oh of course.. that would be it...
yeah i have mine set default to rom... just figured most people had that down.
gosh I should sell them on ebay for 5$ shipped, just to screw over everyone on ebay lol (non-profit organization) 
I dont think its right for people to profit on ebay cuz they burn a disc. it should be like trying to sell xbox games burnt...
Having a bit of a problem getting this to work. I downloaded the west torrent, un-rar'ed it, DL'ed UltraISO and when I try to open the MDS file UltraISO throws an access violation. I accidentally whacked my torrent and the associated RAR so all I have left is the MDx files. How do I check the CRC? Re-DL'ing the torrent now but apparently there aren't as many seeders because it says it's going to take 12 days.
Will Alcohol allow you to inject custom backgrounds?
Answer: Alcohol can't inject files into the ISO.
...but it is in the process of burning the MDF I got from the torrent so that tells me there's something wrong with the version of UltraISO I'm using (8.6.3.2052), assuming the disk burns to completion.
So what's the deal if you get a bad download? Just redownload it? Is there a way to fix the file?
This is pissing me off. I can burn the MDF to a DL DVD fine with Alcohol 120 so I know the image is good but when I open it in UltraISO I get a memory violation. When I open it in MagicISO I get the problem where the subdirectories under BG don't show up and if I add the directories/jpg's and pim's to it the DVD I end up with, the AVIC doesn't like. If I open it in IZArc I see the correct file structure but I can't inject any files into it for some reason. So I have a working OEM DVD but I've been unsuccessful in adding any custom backgrounds.
I took the DVD I made from the MDF and couldn't see the BG subdirectiories in Explorer. I made another ISO out of it and when I open it in MagicISO I can't see anything under BG but when I open it in IZArc I can, but of course it won't let me add any files!!!
How long does it take to download? Can any seed to help out? It is running super slow... I will reseed after..
link is dead ???
WTF
i would like to say thanks to KevcoN3.
i downloaded and burned both discs in under a day and they work perfectly.
also a big thanks to great posters like PaisanNYC. thanks to posters like you it made it easy for me to perform the solder bypass on my n1.
this is a great site and has helped me tremendously.

Took me like 3-4 hours to download. I seeded for a while, but my ISP is really down on constantly uploading stuff so I had to stop.
BTW, if you're having trouble burning it then definitely check the booktyping stuff in Alcohol 120%. I was trying and trying and then I did some research on booktyping and I discovered that my DVD burner didn't support it. I found another set of firmware for the DVD burner and then tried to burn again and it worked fine.
As far as UltraIso goes... I dunno what the problem is with that but I'm also getting an access violation with that.
also a big thanks to great posters like PaisanNYC.
WOW I'm blushing! Thanks 
(How much do I owe ya now?)
I STILL CAN'T GET IT TO WORK this is the Message I get:
Number of Blocks in ISO Image is: 3722864
Preparing media ....
Error Verifying free blocks on media (3722864 needed, 32 available)
What I did was unzipped the rar. Mounted it on Daemon virtual drive. You can googel to download. Than opened it with Ultra ISO. From there I modified the BG files with my custom pics. Saved it and used Ultra ISO to Burn to DVD. Used the cheap Best Buy +DL disks perfect burn on first try with East and West.
On the original discs, it is the same way. Don't know why. But thats how my original discs came shipped from Pioneer. 0k PIM files.
I converted the torrent file to an ISO image and the background & pim files show their size.
If I want to put my own backgrounds and from previous map DVD's I would put them here in the BG folder, correct?
torrent programs:
azurues
bitcomet
utorrent
the following PIM files are missing from the ISO I made, don't know why.
PIM : PIM2DIN : PIM529 : PIMANIM2 : PIMANIME
On the original torrent they show as files and on the ISO they show as folders.
All I did was delete the BG file from the new image and inserted the old BG files with my pics. Saved and burnt it works perfectly.
So mount the MDS/MDF with Daemon tools, make a new ISO from it w/ UltraISO and inject the backgrounds into that new ISO right? If so I'll give it a whirl. Would this essentially be the same as extracting the files out of MagicISO (which shows all the files) and creating a new ISO from the extracted files w/ Ultra? The DVD doesn't need to be bootable or anything stupid like that?

Yes Mount with Daemon tools. Open it with your MagicISO. Ultra ISO does the same as Magic I believe, not sure how to use that one though. You should see it there like if there was a DVD in a drive though. That you can modify it with the your pics and what not from your BG folder. Save it as an ISO image and if Magic ISO lets you burn it than go ahead. If not you will have to burn the ISO image with a burning utility. Make sure you burner is Dual Layer capable. I used the cheapest Dual Layer media from best buy dvd + r. It works fine..
Please forgive my ignorance, but these discs are not the same as the AVIC-D3 discs, correct?
Thanks for all the tips on burning, btw.
N00b trying to educate himself here prior to purchasing... 
I believe the discs are the same for all the systems that you would use D3, N3, N4, Z1, Z2, etc...
Anyways, heres my story. It worked like a Charm..
-Downloaded from the torrent link
-Unrared the files from the .rar file
-opened up in Alcohol 120
-checked the book typing to make it DVD Rom
-insert DVD Dual Layer +R/RW disc, (I used a hp dual layer disc. $9.89 for a 3 pack from wal-mart)
-Started image burning wizard
-selected .mds file to burn from the .rar file
-set settings to lowest burn speed
-burned
-insert into avic n3
-upgrade
-upgraded maps. finished
OK, I had to use a variety of tools to get a good, complete, working disk with custom wallpapers injected. A lot more work than the CNDV-60 disk.
First off..remember that your PIMs need to be in 8.3 format and in all CAPS.
I mounted the MDS with Daemon tools. Then I used UltraISO to create a new ISO. For some reason Ultra throws an application exception when trying to open the CNDV-70 .MDS file directly. In the new ISO The directories underneath the BG directory were 0 byte files instead of directories with files. The only thing I found that would see them as directories with files was IZArc. There were a few other files in other directories that did the same thing (\point\sound\ I think). So I opened the MDS file with IZArc and extracted the BG directory and injected that into the ISO file I created with Ultra. Then I injected my custom PIMs into the PIM2DIN folder. What I found was that the AVIC (D1 anyway) will only display the first 15 PIMS (alphabetically) in this directory. Any others in the PIM2DIN directory don't show up. You can add more PIMs to the PIMANIM2 directory (that are not animated) but they don't seem to display with the right resolution.
HTH
ben trying to down load the maps since last night not geting anything help me out
Ive received several PMs that the torrents are dead. Thats what happens with peer2peer. people download what they want, and dont bother to help keep the torrents up by seeding a little bit themselves.
I downloaded this and when i extract it. it says the file is corrupted. Does anyone have this problem, i have downloaded it 3 times and all 3 times it says files are corrupt.
Excellent instructions, worked perfect! Now to bypass it being that the old ground the wire trick doesnt work with 70M discs.
Just wanted to mention that it works FINE. I downloaded both CDs and I am going to be seeding those for about a week at work. So grab them while you can !
Big thanks to the uploaders !!
