OEM Navigation Back-Up CD Swap - Page 2

infiniteecho · 06-27-2006, 02:58 PM

Oh well, that is unfortunate. I was hoping that it would just be plug and pray. But, that would be way too easy.

I guess it doesn't matter anyway. I plan on moving out of this country when I graduate from college (2 years to go) and I wouldn't have any money to "invest" into my car until then anyway seeing as I just spent a good amount of money buying it.

I'd have to look for the navi CDs for Australia.

I am poor beyond belief right now, just wondering for the future.

I have a spare nav and Bose unit that I got off of ebay for $400. I am keeping it in case anything goes bad with my original unit. The part lists for over $3K from the dealer. Built in Nav systems are very nice but if your car doesn't have it I would not try to retrofit it. Get something like the Garmin i5. It does not need to be pluged in and it is small enough to be mounted almost anywhere.

infiniteecho · 06-27-2006, 03:29 PM

I have a pretty good sense of direction, I don't really need it. Just one of those things it would be fun to have and use now and again. I don't like having extra stuff mounted in my car.... It's bad, I take my radar detector down everytime I turn it off.

I would rather have it in my dash all OEM, or not at all. I am a weirdo.

I guess it was more a hypothetical question / thinking aloud via the keyboard.

240se · 06-27-2006, 04:19 PM

I didn't think I needed a nav system until I got a good deal on the only 6spd max that I could find and it had the factory navigation. You can always find your destination without it. It's just quicker and more direct with it.

Thanks for the FTP site and storage.

Barc · 06-27-2006, 04:46 PM

240, I can see your iso.

Uploading FSM and MCA8 iso now.

We are still looking for version 5.5 of the following:

MCA 1
MCA 2
MCA 3

Please post here if you can help or would like more info on DLing back-up copies.

No problem. Maybe someone will want to donate to me a factory navi system for the help.

HomerMAC · 06-27-2006, 05:50 PM

Barc · 06-27-2006, 06:13 PM

Some are in process of being uploaded. We still need most folks to upload before we can let the DLing begin.

infiniteecho · 06-27-2006, 06:18 PM

I can post my version 5.0 region 1 if nobody has a newer version. I'll keep an eye on the site to see what's up over the next couple days.

Barc · 06-30-2006, 07:58 PM

Post it up. No one has posted it yet. It can always be deleted if need be.

*teksurv* · 07-01-2006, 04:09 PM

HomerMAC · 07-02-2006, 05:28 PM

hey the info i recieved before about hte connecting to FTP didnt work... anyone else have the adress and password.

PM or email me please.. thanks in advance..

FIXED

07-03-2006, 01:13 PM

I would love to get a copy/backup of MCA 5. I have the OG CD that came with the car if anyone wants that (GOD I HOPE NOT...Why would you?) I am willing to pay for keeping a backup for you

Barc · 07-03-2006, 02:16 PM

We can use it on the upload site. I'll PM you with the info.

We are still looking for version 5.5 of the following:

MCA 1
MCA 2
MCA 3
MCA 4
MCA 5
MCA 8

Please let me know if interested. We've had a lot of response but not a lot of action.

If there is enough interest, we may have to do a group buy / buy all of the regions at once on all the newest software and spread the cost out over everyone involved. Let me know if you're interested in doing that!

It may not be free but it will save money if you're trying to get all of the regions (or possibly save money even if you only want 1 if we can get enough numbers).

I'd be willing to pay upto $50 for all the CD's ... Even though I really only want MCA5 I might just buy it

You've got PM.

$50 for all the CDs would be a nice target imo.

9 regions @ $120 / each = $1080!

So if we could get about 22 folks, it would be about $50 each for all the regions.

infiniteecho · 07-05-2006, 08:44 AM

Again, I don't have OE Navi, but I'm still willing to help you guys get the backups to whomever needs them. Just keep me in the loop.

Barc · 07-05-2006, 09:32 AM

Nothing major has changed yet.

Still hoping for more to show up and upload.

Thanks for all your help man!!!!

Zenrin has discounts if you buy more than 3 CDs so it would be even less. Maybe in the fall when 5.6 comes out we should put together a group buy. I'm in.

Barc · 07-07-2006, 08:50 AM

I'm in depending on when the come out. I've been in a lot of the regions already but certainly not had the discs.

I'm diskless in every region.

Barc · 07-07-2006, 11:39 AM

Guys, don't forget to upload the isos. If you need the address or help or anything, don't hesitate to let me know.

And if anyone else can help out, please PM me or post here.

Barc · 07-18-2006, 07:54 PM

Does anyone else want to participate in this? Let me know.

Just did a little research. To get all 9 regions (new) is $738.83. That's about $82 each as opposed to $120. The discount at even 3 discs brings it down to about $100 each. Food for thought.

DukeN · 07-18-2006, 08:12 PM

Which 5th Gens came with GPS guys?

Does anyone know if any were available in the Canadian Market, and if there are Canadian maps with updates?

Thanks

I wouldn't mind jumping in the GD during the fall...its only 3 months away till the release...we can get everybody to jump in and get a discount..

Only the 02 and 03's came with Nav. I'm not sure they were available for Canada but I could be wrong.

07-20-2006, 07:21 PM

Offquestion.........

Can the navi from a 5.5 gen go into a 00 max

infiniteecho · 07-20-2006, 07:28 PM

Yes, if you want to try and attempt a retro. It would be easier, faster, and more cost effective to buy and aftermarket system. It's not just plug and play is what I am trying to say.

I already asked this, and was dissapointed in the answer I was given.

Malimal · 07-24-2006, 05:46 AM

Hey I have MCA 8 version 5.5., I also have some others, but I have to go home and check the version numbers. i usually make images of my disk and store them on my computer. I can up load later if someone pm's me with the info.

I can't PM you the info; you have PMs turned off. Let me know when you turn them on and I'll be more than happy to send you the info!

Thanks!

Malimal · 07-24-2006, 06:10 AM

ok, i dont see where to turn them on. Is it because i dont have enough post?
