Everybody has their own favorites but my experience is that any brand name DVD seems as good as any other but burning at the lowest speed definitely seems to improve the chance of an error free disk. I use NERO.

Although route finding was fine, I also found that the Dual layer disks (tried several brands) were very slow in retrieving travel info (say Petrol Stations within 20miles) but when I removed the language directories I didn't want from the ISO image to reduce its size and burnt the image to a single layer DVD, then this problem went away. Searchs for information are now much quicker.

After obtaining the iso image file, open it with an iso editing program (UltraISO is very good and simple to use). You will then be able to see all the files that will make up the DVD when it is written.
Look down the list of directories to find one called TPD, open it & look for another called NCCBEUFNM_EU_20081007 and open this.
I then deleted the directories FRE, ITA & SPA which reduced the image size (shown at the top of the screen) to 4429MB - small enough to get on a single layer DVD. Obviously, don't delete a language you want (I only wanted ENG)
Save the image as the same name you started with & burn to DVD.
That it!

I think you need to put the disc in and turn off the ignition wait and then turn the ignition on and it should reboot the nav computer and the new disc should be recognized, I'm not 100% sure, as I don't have i-drive, maybe one of the i-drive guys can confirm the update procedure, what does it say in the nav manual?
