I am sure not to have mistaken anything!
I have created the image with m2cdmgui.exe as described by Jochen and then burnt with ImgBurn but nothing, it doesn't work.

which sw version you tried to resume with?
You should try with the V17 one...burn it as is, with ImgBurn at 5X neither more nor less...

I have tried with the sw v.21.1 and v.24, I have not tried with the 17.1 but you/he/she should be the same thing...
I have burnt the cd with ImgBurn to 4x to 2x, then I have also tried with clone cd.
The cd immediately spits him/it appeno I insert him/it!
Does thing recommend me to do?

I have tried but the v17 cannot be modified because the pc not the lex, says that it is in unknown format.

I can explain you the right thing to do in our language...and you can find lot of posts about this trouble...

Anyway... V17.1 sw version seems to be the best version to resume dead navi...download it and burn with Imgburn as explained some posts above...:thumbup:

Folks - Does anyone know how to burn one of the CloneCD Nav v22 links provided in this thread - in Mode 2? Using CloneCD to burn, I can't see this option..

I'm also suffering from the black screen having tried to go with a v26 update. I need to fix it and this thread looks like the answer!

you can't do this with CCD...you must convert V22 to mode2 using another program...I don't remember the name right now...ask KiwiJochen
about...
Once converted you can burn it with ImgBurn as well...maybe then best choice...:thumbup:

I burned it using CloneCD and have fixed my problem :)

I wanted to update because my system never worked when the air was cold. BMW told me this would be cured by an update in firmware. Does anyone else know about this? I hope it's fixed that.

Most CD burners will burn as Mode1, and the Mk3 cannot boot from a Mode1 CD.

All your problems are caused by Mode1 CDs.

Make the CD a mode2 and it will burn OK.

Mode2 works on Mk3, Mk4
Mode1 only works on Mk4

You should verify that you have a Mode2 CD before inserting into the nav system

I use ImgBurn to verify my CDs.

Note that 3/1-63 was the last official version for the Mk3.
I have 3/1-64, but that's with custom splash screen and custom menu text :-)

Whitch file to change to get it to show 3/1-64, or could you maybe share yours

Tnx in advance

Change the version number in sw_rel.tbl

It's obvious what you have to edit :-)

Trouble with E38 update

I found a thread describing how to update my MK3 to V26. It even included CD Key image since I was starting from V16. That cdkey is not working and the nav computer is stuck on a screen that says "Insert cdkey or version 17" I have tried downloading V17.1 that is offered earlier in this thread as well with no luck. Within seconds of inserting the CD it is spit back out and nothing happens. I noticed when burning the V17.1 CD or the CD Key images with either CloneCD or IMGBurn and trying to verify the resulting CD with IMGBurn the CD show to be written in Mode2/Form2 instead of Mode2/Form1. Beforing the burn, the image files are shown to be Mode2/Form1 (as required for mk3) and I cannot find a setting to change this, but for some reason they always come out in form2 and are not recognized by the mk3. However, when I burn V26 image file to a CD it comes out as Mode2/Form1. :dunno: Could it be the actaul image file? I noticed in post #14 there is mention of using a custom altered software to change the TOC but I couldnt figure out how to do that. If anyone has experience with this I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance.
