You might have noticed that I've re-posted the last few software updates in ISO format, but please folks, save us all the trouble and post any CD or DVD images in ISO format. That way everyone doesn't have to buy the same software as you...

* Alcohol is able to circumvent some copy protection mechanisms
I beg to differ. Alcohol 120 will burn the ISO image of the Siemens VDO BV original V28 upgrade onto CD-R every time.

Also, providing you use "Ultra ISO" to create an ISO image of WHATEVER BMW SatNav Map DVD you have, onto your HDD, Alcohol 120 will burn a perfectly readable image onto either DVD-R or DVD+R disks. I know because today I have done exactly that - & my living depends upon it
