The problem I had was that when I unpacked the .sar file, I didn't get .ccd files. I get two files: V28.mdf and V28.mods, but no .ccd files.

CD images files come in many flavours. CCD is just one of these. Whoever built the CD image file you have downloaded did so with the help of Alcohol 120% software. The .mdf and .mds files you have obtained are the result of such specific software having been used, and constitute a fully valid CD image of the V28 system upgrade disc, just as a .ccd file would have been.

I'll try again, but I think I understood the concept: download the compressed file, uncompress, then copy the cd image to a cd and then walk out to my car.....

You already downloaded the compressed file and de-compressed it. No need to do any of that again.
Then, you do not - repeat: DO NOT - copy the CD image file to a CD. What you would get if you did that would be a standard data CD with a CD image file copied into it. That is not what you want. The Nav computer expects a system upgrade CD with a specific file/directory structure. It does not understand a data CD containing a CD image file of a system upgrade CD.
What you do is "generate" a system upgrade CD from the CD image file (or files) you downloaded. To do so you need the same software that was used to build the CD image file to start with, and that means Alcohol 120%, in your case. So download Alcohol 120% from the net, install it (you get 30 days trial, y think) and use it to burn the CD image into a blank CD-R or CD-RW. Thus you will have "generated" a fresh system upgrade CD from the CD image files. Then you can walk out to your car.
Hope this helps
