MK4 death
 

Hi, I tried upgrade a MK4 of a friend with a v27 and is this that hapened:

Load Cd with ignition in positin 1
Upgrade progress ok
First the display was white, for a long time.
Turned off ignition and screen appear but without navigation menu
Tried upgrade to v30 and mk4 power light is allways off, eject button flashes slowly and no navigation menu.
It loads CD it reads for 1min aprox and go out, but if I don't remove it in about 5secs it loads CD again and monitor shows allways menus but without navigation menu.

The navecoder says no I-Bus comunication!

What can I do?! I burn it?
I tried my 10 v29.1 Cd's and nothing happens.


Thanks in advance and sorry about my english ;)

Maybe the CD laser is dead.
Try burning the OS to a DVD, the DVD is read using a different laser.
Check your OS CD quality using Nero CD Speed - a good disc is about 97 or 98% uality, with about <300 C1 errors, and 0 C2 errors. Surface scan should be perfect.
Yesterday my friend loaded a corrupt OS because his OS disc was full of errors (18,000 C1 errors, 300 C2 errors). Burning a new CD solved the problem for him.

+1
Happend to me, it was the cd quality !

Thanks for your answers, but I have a hope!

I was recoding an MK3 and I tought that it was a MK4!!!

If I choose settings of MK3 in navcoder and try recode language again, it would be solved?!!? Or I killed definitly MK3?!?!?

I can't solve it right now because I haven't car, but tell me something!

I need sleep!!! :D:D:D:D

If it's a Mk III then I bet you've used an ISO Mode 1 CD. The Mk III needs a Mode 2 CD to work. Your first task is to try and remove the disk thats in it, prey pressing the eject button for a long time, ideally as the ignition is turned on.

Your OS dis was probably Mode1, this will crash the nav.
Use ImgBurn to make sure you are burning a Mode2/Form1 OS disc. Then use the Mode2/Form1 disc and the nav should reload the OS OK.

Hi,

thank you vvvveeeerrrrry much! I will try do it tomorrow!!!

I will sleep better tonight!!!

In your opinion is better make first:

burn cd and insert it!

or

open navcoder, select mk3, make code language to force recode?

I'm trying make a portuguese version of navigation software! I'm almost there, but my girl voice is too artifitial. I'm making voice files from realspeak. Have you any ideia how can I make e real voice and more higer volume. The voice file .csf is almost finhished and I don't want make all again :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I think that audicity make this, but I don't know how :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you and the whole forum. I just bought a 2002 X5 and, after reading here, decided to upgrade my MkIII nav which was at 3-1/40. After burning the disk & putting it in, I got a blank screen and continuous reboots, which I let run for half an hour. I did everything you're not supposed to do - I ejected the disk, I removed power, and I thought I had killed my nav unit, along with any display for the radio, OBC, etc. I was beside myself - but I checked back through the old posts.

Following the advice I found there, I checked the disk and it had been written in Mode 1 for some reason. I burned another making sure it was Mode 2/Form 1, and my nav came back to life, fully up to date 3-1/63 and working flawlessly.

Thank you!
