What Nav version on new M?

[daveM45]

I see that 7.4 DVD is out. Checked and my 2007 M45 came with 7.1 DVD (release date of 2005). I didn't think to check that when I purchased the M new but that seems a bit old for a M bought on 3/2007.

Most of the retail GPS give you a free map update within 30 days of purchase - presumably so its current when you buy it.

How current should the Map version be on a new M?Should we get one free update like the Garmin/Tom-Tom retail GPS?

If you want the 7.4 DVD ThePirateBay is your friend.

Zappa, could you help me with burning the info from piratebay? Do i burn it as an image or as data?

[Zamba]

After you extract the rar files you'll get an ISO file. You need to burn the ISO file as an image.

Also need to make sure you set the booktype to "DVD-ROM"

For some reason, Imgburm won't let me change the book type to DVD-ROM.

I'm using verbatim DVD-RW DL.

I didn't even change my book type settings before I burned my disc and it worked fine. Try it and see what happens.

I just burned my copy on a Sony DL, and the car's nav cannot see it. It keeps loading, but never finds anything... what could I have done wrong?

hey... what did you guys search for at ThePirateBay... for the navagation dvd...? i can't seen to find it...

[jankenpo30]

DVD-RW DL.

That's your problem, can't change the book-types on "minus" media. Has to be DVD+R DL.

I would link to it directly but I rather not get Nicoclub into any trouble. Just search for "Nissan" or "Infiniti" and you'll see it.

Try Verbatim.

[yosM45]

It burned just fine.

The help section says that you can't chenge book types on Samsung or LG drives. IMGBurn does it for you automatically.

And it did. Works perfectly.

thx

I used IMGburn and did not change any settings... the size of both, the iso file and the nav disk is the same (after burning). So you did not change any settings prior to using Imgburn?

What DL disk did you use? Verbatim?

I've used all types of DVD+R and never had a problem as long as you change the book-type.

My stupid Dell Inspiron 1525's DVD-ROM firmware does not allow bitsetting changes. I will have to borrow my sister's Gateway 6707 and see if that will work.

Any of you guys done a crossflash on DVD-ROM firmware? It is possible that the original Samsung firmware would allow for book-type changes. The only problem is that if something goes wrong, you lose the drive, and the laptop might not boot up without it. Advice?

Losing your drive should not prevent any PC or laptop from booting. You just have to make sure that firmware is actually compatible with your drive. Long as you don't lose power during the flashing, you should be fine. And assuming you get the firmware straight from the manufacturer.
