If you reference http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/all-...ystem-faq.html you will note that V17 translates into 3-1/30 for the MkIII. The latest and greatest OS release for the MkIII is 3-1/63, which any disk V22 and higher will take you to.

When you go past V17 you lose having the OBD displayed on the same screen as the radio, but you gain split screeen and much improved graphics. You will also need the KeyCD when you do the upgrade.

It's a zip file, so you would use something like WinZip or TugZip to unzip the file. With the contents you want to use CloneCD to burn the disk onto a CD-R. The disk will not be readable by Windows once you burn it.

Oh i understand that part but when i opened it, i see image.ccd, a file named image, and image.sub. So i will just burn it and you said, windows will not be able to read it right? So i will need to run it on my MK3? So do i need to do this first before inserting v.29?
