You are in the wrong place, you are looking for SyncTool, not AVICSYNC. And you need to use a thumb drive, not the phone.

Well, DUH, on my part. Don't know why I didn't see that.

Anyway, I tried SyncTool with an SD card last night. It would not reckognize it. My hard drive is in USB1, so now I have to either buy another small hard drive(Has USB 3.0 Micro-B connection) or try to find a female USB 2.0 to female USB 3.0 Micro-B adapter. Haven't had any luck yet tho.

Double post

Problem solved

Dude...

Get yourself a $10  8GB USB stick, do what it takes to plug it in and be done with it.

I have exactly the same problem with the SD card which came in my F60DAB. I installed naviextras tool on my win7 laptop. I pushed SD Card into a dedicated SD card reader slot. Windows file manager can view it fine, but the software says "no device connected". Anyone got any ideas please?

i preffer to use usbstick instead. And you also need a clean/formated sdcard/usbstick, and run synctool on the unit first (with card/usbstick) connected. Then it will copy the needed files to the card/usb. remove and connect to computer with the naviextras software (use latest version of software)

thanks Spec. I haven't heard of sync tool I do have USB sticks I can try using. I am on a mac bu have a windows laptop i can use if thats more reliable

synctool is an option on the f60dab that you have to use before you update your maps with naviextras

Can anyone advise on what to select from the list of formatting options (mac) for my USB thumb drive?

thanks

none. fat is fat16, needs fat32 i think. try using a windows computer....but you could always try with ms-dos-fat on mac (it might be fat32). maybe try an third party formatprogram that supports fat32?

yep, used my win laptop and all sorted thanks
