Upgraded my Avic-D2 with CNDV-70MTP disc and no longer works

So I put in the "West" disc, with the new CNDV-70MTP disc into my Avic-D2.

 

Everything seemed to go just fine. It came up with an install screen and two bars and said it was updating the firmware.

 

It finished and said it was successful.

 

Then it went back to the welcome screen and my radio and everything works just fine.

 

This morning (I did this late last night) I decided to try my new nifty NAV disc out. Much to my surprise when I go to enter a destination, I can't enter one.

 

The buttons are there, POI, Address Search, etc. but they appear unselectable.

 

It's almost like when you don't have your parking brake up and you try to enter a destination.

 

I've done the hack with the ground wire and mute in the harness and before the upgrade it worked fine. I could enter addresses without having the parking brake up. My wife could enter it while we were moving so there were no problems there.

 

Now I can't use it at all.

 

Anyone have any ideas? I still have my old discs as well, but I'm assuming those probably won't work now.

Burned disks or real disks?

Burned disk. I didn't install the East yet.

Bad burn maybe?

Posted Nov 29, 2007 · 18:52 UTC#5

I used Alcohol to burn it, and as I wrote, when I put the new disk in the firmware updated and showed a successful screen.

 

After that it rebooted and everything seems to work except for my ability to enter addresses.

 

If it were a bad burn I would suspect it would give me a disc error.

 

I read a thread that someone with a Z1 had to change the way he bypassed his unit AFTER he updated the firmware with a new disc. The updated firmware changed the way the unit behaved so he had to change the way he bypassed the parking brake.

 

I'm thinking that is the cause. I posted the same message in the "Hack" forum asking if people had that problem or if they thought that might be the culprit.

Bypass isn't the problem...The D1/2 were always bypass the same way. Z series changed slightly. Have you tried hitting the reset? Worth a shot

Make sure you have selected your zone. The default zone is probably different.

Unrelated to your problem (sorry), but can you use the 70M discs with the D3? I thought the 70M were only for the Z series devices?

Posted Nov 29, 2007 · 21:03 UTC#9

Thanks guys I'll try the reset.

 

As for the zone thing I can't even get to to that screen because I can't enter an address.

 

That's why I thought it might be the bypass thing because it behaves as if the parking brake isn't engaged. All the buttons for navigation are grayed out.

 

As far as I've read on this board I believe the D3 uses different discs, but don't hold me to that I'm not certain.

He's using it with a D2 which is a D-series. The D3 uses different discs though.

Just tried the reset. It still doesn't work. The reset did clear everything including my destination history but still doesn't work.

See if downgrading to the old disk(s) fixes the problem.

Posted Nov 29, 2007 · 22:41 UTC#13

I tried putting in the old disc but it gave me a disk error. Said to insert correct disk.

Posted Nov 30, 2007 · 00:06 UTC#14

Ok so I found out how to downgrade on here.

 

I downgraded back to the older discs and everything works just fine.

 

I suppose I will try to do another burn and upgrade and see if it will work this time, but I'm not hopeful.

 

Thanks for all your help guys.

Z1 uses the CNDV700HD, not the 70s. 70s are for the rest of the older models

Mine did the same thing, when you upgrade again, if you have this problem, if you have anything connected via the data cable (im drawing a blank on what it's called) ie XM radio disconnect it and see if it works. I bet it does. This is what happened to me. I can't remember what exactly I ended up doing, but I know that I reset the XM unit, checked all my wiring, and reconnected everything AFTER the upgrade, and even had to send a re-activate code to my XM unit, and it finally started working.

 

ps, feel free to email me with any more info, for some reason my spam filter blocks notifications from this forum, and sometimes I get them, sometimes I dont

mine does this as well with the copied discs...seems to be the burnt discs. After a while they seem to not let you do address searches. It is just a bad burn. :shock:

I got a MDS file of the upgrade disk. Burt it in alcohol 120 and it updated my system. I then realized the upgrade erased my boot up and background photos. I added them to the upgrade disk and the D2 wont accept the disk. It loaded he bootup photo, but says wrong disk if I try to go into settings.

 

I also unplugged my XM before upgrading.

 

 

 

This sucks! Anyone?

i tried three times today to burn this image via alcohol twice and power iso once and all three times my d2 says please insert appropriate disc...can some1 who burnt this successfully tell me what they did?

 

EDIT: sorry i didn't read all related posts b4 posting and i found this post http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8959&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=cndv70mtp&start=30 ...i didn't check the boot option when i burned and i was using memorex discs...i will try verbatim discs and checking this option tomorrow
