Thank you Jaycee. I followed your instructions and the download was successful. I transfer the download into a CD (I think) and tried to follow the directions given on the link you provided. The screen read no disk or incorrect disk and the system spits it out. Do I need to open the file before I transfer to a disk? If so, what is the program I need to open it? Thanks again for helping out a computer challenged person

Ask a computer-literate friend to help.

Otherwise you risk crashing your nav and struggling to get it to recover.

@DWill, I'm not surprised to hear this, after purchasing my CPO'd `03 ZHP, I took it in for its first service and minor warranty issues and asked them to make sure my MKIV was up to date too. When I picked up the car she said it was up to date, however, it was not, so basically they were just lazy. I decided it wasn't worth the hassle to me, so I read/burned/upgraded the system myself. No problems thus-far, now I'm about to upgrade to V31 after I mod it slightly...

I'd say since she's under warranty, try to update her yourself, if it doesn't work, take it in and say you have no clue what happened, lol...

Help!

Ok, not totally new to this, I successfully updated to v29 and unlocked perspective mode, about a year, or so ago. But did not attempt to hack it...

Yes, I did have to re-learn how to do everything. Plus, the computer I had all the v29 on died, I bought a mac, that complicates things, so I'm trying to do this on my work computer...

Successfully downloaded and expanded the .rar, then changed it to .iso with magic iso. As far as I know, I successfully made the changes in nav tweak and replaced the correct navboot file with my modified one.

Using magic iso I've tried 2 verbatium disc's, a no-name disc that was from a stack in which I burned v29 and had no problems, a disc that came with my crashed Dell 5 years ago in an Acer cover, and a random office depot CD-R. I keep getting the same message "The inserted disc is defective, remove the disc and confirm with OK."

So, thinking magic iso was burning too fast, I downloaded and installed imgburn and burned an "acer" CD-RW at 1x. Same error message...

All help is much appreciated. I started this process yesterday afternoon and have had a black screen since. Its not too bad, at least I have audio, haha...

^ Got tired of waiting for an answer, prior to hacking my v31, I burned a "non-hacked" version on a verbatim disc. I decided to skip the hack, for now, and see if my non-hacked v31 disc would show the same error or not...

No problems, v31 is loaded now, but its not hacked. I guess I did something wrong. I loaded the navboot file from the correct folder into nav tweak, did my tweaks, then saved it. However, this was not done on a CD-RW, just done to the file. Should I burn the V31 non-hacked to a CD-RW, then hack it and re-burn it? I don't see what the difference would be, but obviously I did something wrong...

Any help would be appreciated, no rush, I was ancy to get it fixed before i leave for a short vacation tomorrow. I'll dive into the hacking when I get back...

Thanks!

I can't understand why you guys would want to risk bricking your NAV. It doesn't sound like v.31 does anything. Bug fixes? Mine is stable.

Unless it fixes the issues below, I'll stick with v.29.

1- switching from NAV to the radio station display when the station is changed

2- No single button to switch between Split Screen & Full Screen

3- Worthless icons that have to be turned off each time a restaurant or other destination is selected

It will let you use DL DVD...

Whats DL_DVD?

Dual Layer DVD?

The latest NAV DVD (which I am downloading right now) is 4,668,915,712 bytes and should fit on a regular DVD.
