how big is the file btw?

 

several gigs im assuming...

 

a bittorrent would be the best bet

 

Wait...so you can burn the Program CD & the version 6.4 DVD, then use them in the factory DVD-NAV player without any problems?

 

I don't believe that the factory player will read a burned dvd. At lease no one has posted a success doing so.

 

Hello,

I'm using a burned Program Disc and v6.4 Nav DVD.. Of course, I have my originals stored away safely. Yeah, that's it, thats the ticket, yeah stored away safely.

CYA,

Check out that thread, hopefully we can just change the cd to make our navs look like that

 

Ah...so burned CD yes, burned DVD no.

I haven't heard of any problems upgrading the 6.1 to the new 6.4. Shouldn't be any problems right?

 

Hey G35Maxedout, what version DVD did you change to the 6.4 from? Is there a significant difference in the map and POI's? Do you think the update was worth it? I just e-mailed Zenrin inquiring what the changes are from version 6.3 to 6.4; haven't heard back yet.

 

I had v6.2 that came with the car and the map seems more detailed and its faster than before. I'm sure the POI have been expanded too.

 

I had v6.1 from when I bought my car in '03. I bought the v6.3 a couple of months ago when the car was in for service. I really didn't notice anything new as far as display or information. It all looks the same and does all the same things it did before. I guess like others have said, you need a firmware upgrade as well.

Later,

Ray

 

so whos gonna be the first to try the 06 nav dvd in the 05 and below years, hmmmmm

 

I wrote them and this was their response regarding the new dvd compatibility with previous year navigation systems.


Dear Customer,

The 2006 vehicles have a different navigation system which requires a different formatted DVD. Unfortunately you cannot use the DVD for a 06 model in your system.



Thank you

What can be done to remedy that?
