I have only the West disc from torrent ($250 is ridiculous). I was able to unrar and burn without any errors to a DVD+R DL. When I put the disc into my AVIC-D1 it says "please insert appropriate disc". I reboot the AVIC and get the same thing. Did anyone else have this problem or am I not doing the upgrade properly?

Thanks

you didnt burn the disc properly. Burn the disc with Alcohol 120 and it should be fine.

I should have mentioned: I tried first to burn using Alcohol 120 in Parallels but that didn't workout. I burned the image using Toast6 on a MacBook Pro by first renaming the mdf file to iso (as some Internet searches said to do). I guess I'll need to track someone down with a windows dual layer burner or setup bootcamp. Thanks.

So I should be ok, assuming I get a good burn, to use only the West disc and not need to get the East?

Unless you plan on going to the East Coast

Silly question ... you did use a dual layer DVD-R and a dual layer DVD burner, right? If so, maybe try a different brand of DVD.

I had the same problem until I burned the MDS file with Alcohol 120 instead of Nero 7 and now it works fine.

Thanks for the help. Ya I did use a dual layer burner and media. I'm going to try booting into windows and use alcohol 120 and a better media disc. Take a while to setup dual-boot but worth a shot.
