I am using the burn program from Apple that is on my iMac desktop....not a stand alone program. When I select the file I choose burn to disc (cd-r), select speed and let it go. After the burn it also does a verify and it accepts without errors. Are you suggesting I try another burn program and if so which one for a Mac.

Thanks,

I used http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html and used a dvd-r at the slowest speed possible.

Worked for me.

LokiWolf,

I got your message and appreciate it first off. My next question is about a year ago I did the VIM upgrade so is it safe to say I can skip the first step? I even checked to see if I have the secret menu and I do. So I am thinking I can just start at the firmware step and then on to the maps.

Thoughts?

watch out!

be forewarned, you will have to pull out your cable after installing the 4366 sw, for updating sw turns off "TESTMODE" so if you ever want to turn off vim change bootlogo etc, you will have to go into adaption and turn test/development mode back on

Sorry, but I do not understand what you are saying. If I were to just install 4366 (not VIM) and new map data, would there be any need to use my VCDS?

Hey guys,

I keep getting the following error message whenever I try to download the file from the link. Any suggestions? I have tried on 2 different computers for a total of 5 times tonight with no luck. It also has been taking roughly a 1/2 hour to download. It downloads almost all the way to the very end before giving me the error message.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

mattfrayage · Jun 19, 2013

yes, if you ever plan on changing boot logo, sw downgrades, switch hdds etc then you must enable test mode after installing 4366 because installing new sw's removes the hidden menu which is accessed via holding setup for around 30 seconds

my next thought is: should i re size them or leave them at original size and troll the mobile users

Busydiver · Jun 19, 2013

thanks

Yes, there are two ways an iso file can get burned - as a single file sitting inside another iso filesystem, or as a disk image (which is what you want). If you put the disk you just burned back into your computer, what do you see? If just the one file, then the image was not correctly burned . . .

And I burned on Linux, so I don't think WhinDuhs has anything to do with this . . . images are images, so any burner should work *assuming* you have support for burning images. Likely the Mac just decided for you to do it wrong, since they are so dumbed down . . .

- Tim

Tim, although I still need to try it in the car I do see what you mean about disk image. I did not use the utility before just right clicked on the file and selected burn,,,this time in the utility it did reference the ISO file as a disk image. thanks this is likely my problem.

So quick question: After installing all three updates from Loki, can we also go ahead and do the Boot Logo update? Or will that erase some of the updates? Thanks!

konikg · Jun 19, 2013

Can somebody PM to me link for download red and speed camera poi? Thanks!

I am not aware of anybody having that yet. I am working on it, but I won't have time to test it until this weekend. If somebody else has it, speak up, and I will stop working on it.

Yes, and No from what I can tell so far.

Tim, good catch. BD, that would definitely cause the error, and the issues you are having.

I will send an alternate link shortly. Give it a try.

Excellent app. But the Mac built in disc utility is doing fine for several people.

Good Catch indeed....

Tim, touche....put the new burned disc in and I did not even get an error message jumped right into the SWL Load...took about 40 mins as LokiWolf indicated. All is working well with my unit number now labeled as J from G and 4366 on the version. Has it improved a lot hard to tell but as one earlier post indicated the buttons do seem much more responsive and I especially like moving through the channels from the wheel and as they change from 6 to 7 you can see the new station call signs.

tadawson · Jun 19, 2013

Glad to have helped! It's nice when it's something easy . . .

I got maps loaded this evening - clean, ran right in, but took about 1:20 and not the 40 to 50 minutes noted. FWIW, the only thing happening on the head while loading was the FM receiver . . .

Things do seem quicker, and as another noted, theb'flat' EQ appears to have become more bass-heavy (a tad too much to me . . . def. *NOT* flat . . . if I get bored, I'll run my audio analyzer on it . . . def boomy now).

I bought my copy from eBay and i found buttons are more responsive and also back up camera is allot faster .

Bought my copy of ebay too. Buttons seem a bit more responsive, I agree, but backup camera is pretty much the same. It comes on quickly enough, but it takes about 15 seconds to turn off.

Hoping to see an improvement in traffic info showing up. When I leave work, it can take 5 minutes for any information to start populating the screen.

The 15 seconds to turn off is NEVER going to change. That is intentional. It is for when you are parking and might switch back to reverse. You can get out of it by pressing media, or one of the other hard buttons.

Noted on that one, thanks!

So I'm having some issues getting the install to happen. With both the VIM and firmware CDs, it shows me the disk error message and then spits out the disk - nobody else gets that right? After a few seconds it pulls the disk back in (standard functionality) but then nothing happens.

I've re-burned the CDR a couple of times including buying a new brand of CDRs today for the latest try. No joy.

Anyone else had similar issues?

I have KESSY - could that be a problem? I'm unlocking the car, getting in, leaving the door open and powering on the radio before following rest of the instructions (wait for it to start, insert disk etc).

I'm burning the disk using Disk Utility in OSX and I am burning the files (the image contents), not the ISO file as a file.

Version info:
Part #: 3C8035684E
HW: H65
SW: 3696
Maps: 7565

I'm usually pretty capable at this sort of thing but now stuck. Anyone else had any issues at all?

Only person I know who has had a similar issue is BusyDriver, and his was resolved by the fact he was burning the ISO as a file to the root of a disc instead of from the ISO.

You could try this app:
http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html

You are doing it correctly, as far as how to handle it with KESSY. Unlock, press power button on radio. Do not press the Start/stop.

Try doing a reset on your radio before you try the Firmware. Try the 2nd step in the following video first:

Thanks Loki.

I'm definitely ending up with a CD containing all the files and folders so that's not it (just double-checked).

I am fairly new to Macs and just realized I can change the burn speed so lowering that to minimum. If this doesn't work I'll try the link you send.

I did try the "three finger salute" reset a couple of times and no joy.

Will post on how it goes with the new slower-burn disk.

Slower should help. Alright, try the settings reset, I know that's a pain, but I have heard it help on one other.

Since I was on my last cd-r and I was pretty sure this time I had the correct selection for the disk image I burned the disc at the slowest option on my imac ....i think it was 10x if not mistaken...

ColoradoDriver · Jun 20, 2013

I thought we are supposed to copy the files as downloaded onto the two CDs and one DVD-DL. But it sounds like folks are expanding the downloaded files before burning to CD/DVD. Which is the correct process?

richyrich · Jun 20, 2013

Interesting development, little off topic: Just went out and tried discs burned at 10x - one with native OSX and one with "Burn". Still the same disk error. Had the brainwave to try an ordinary music CD and guess what - disk error. Same with a bunch of others. Guess who's calling their dealer....

Does it play a DVD or music cd? Lets hope not.
