Ok, it was my post count, but the last post put me over the minimum count, so you should be able to pm me now.

Barc · 07-24-2006, 09:07 AM

PM sent! Thanks!

Our's came with a "back up" copy from the previous owner for region 5, along with an original for region 3. He had the dealer he bought it from, in region 5, make him a copy so it was usable. Worked perfect, and didn't even know it was a back up copy till we popped a cd in there to listen one day. I've since purchased a new region 5 one..,

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.

I think this is a good idea when 5.6 comes out. Barc, are you willing to organize this? Collect the money, order the disks and then mail them out when you receive them?

I have traded with Barc in the past and he is

Barc · 07-31-2006, 09:31 AM

I can do it.

1) When do the new versions come out?
2) Who would be willing to go in? (The more people we have / the more regions we get, the bigger the discount.)

What I would most likely do is to buy the ones people wanted all at once then send them out when I got the money from them. That saves the delay of everyone having to get me the cash, then order, then sending them out.

Do you mind uploading that?

I should be in for at least 1 region. I'm still lacking even an old version of my new home region.

Barc,

I'm in. Just let me know the costs, and I'll send the funds. If it doesn't work out, I'll still buy region 1 and share.

*teksurv* · 08-01-2006, 07:02 PM

Oh, and I tested some backups from the site, and they did not work. Yes, I know how to burn an .ISO properly. Can someone else chime in and see if my media is bad or something?

Barc · 08-02-2006, 05:20 AM

I've only burnt one and it worked, at least it booted up (I'm not in that region so I couldn't check). Did you use an R or RW? I've had luck with R's and haven't tried an RW.

*teksurv* · 08-02-2006, 08:10 PM

I used a "R." I'll DL again and see what's up.

infiniteecho · 08-02-2006, 10:17 PM

Also could be that the person who made the backup ISO of that region didn't make it correctly....

Barc · 08-18-2006, 02:22 PM

Just to try to keep some interest on this. If anyone has anything they'd like to upload (Navigation CD's that is), it would be appreciated. Just let me know and I'll give you some info.

Also, those wanting the 5.6 versions in the "group buy," please post up so I can check the pricing we should be expecting.

Thanks guys!

ohhyeahbabby · 08-24-2006, 05:12 PM

Hello All,

I bought 2004 maxima with navigation last month and I am not sure what CD version I have.
Can someone help this poor girl about where navigation CD is in my car?
Also how to tell what version is?
Also how can I get all other CDs that you folks are talking about?

Thanks in advance.

*Shaydz* · 08-24-2006, 06:26 PM

I want to be a part of this.
Don't know if it will help, but I have:
MCA9 - v 5.4
MCA8 - v 5.3
MCA7 through MCA1 - v 5.1

Barc · 08-25-2006, 05:56 AM

Sent you a PM Shaydz. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!

The 2004+ came with DVD navigation whereas the 2002 / 2003s are CD based (and have 9 regions which total out to be about 6 times more expensive than the single DVD). On the 2002 / 2003, the disc goes behind the screen (there's a small "open" button on the left side). I think there is only one DVD for the country. Ask over in the 6th gen forums and someone may be able to help more than myself!

bdubs · 08-26-2006, 08:41 PM

I just bought a 2002 maxima and wanted to help out too because I was looking for more updated versions. Right now I have MCA 3 and 8 ver 5.1. This is pretty old so I don't know if this would help or not. But I was wondering how I would be able to get more updated versions and get all 9 CD's.
If theres anything I can do to help let me know.

thanks

put me on the list for sure...i'm down...MCA1 5.6

Barc · 08-27-2006, 08:59 AM

Sounds good Steven. I think that's at least 3 or 4 CDs right there. If we can get a few more folks willing to put in between $80 and $100, we can get a complete set of 5.6's when they come out! That's not bad for $1100 worth of discs! I'll start a list of folks soon and put the region they want down.

If we have multiple people wanting the same region, we can either buy more regions (if we don't have all 9 represented) or we can just make everyone's total that much less. I'll leave that up to everybody when 5.6 comes out and we get some definate replies (like Steven's above).

bdubs... I think we have all the discs accounted for BUT I will PM you with some info (if your PMs are on). You may have to get over 15 posts to get PMs, don't know. If not, I'll just email you. Any CDs that you can upload would be appreciated since we only have one member who has most of the CDs and I know he would appreciate the help!

bdubs · 08-27-2006, 03:37 PM

I dont know too much about PM's and how to upload the CD's but if someone would explain it to me then I'll catch on pretty quick. I'm also down for a group buy.

*Maxfli* · 08-27-2006, 07:54 PM

Barc, I have MCA8 ver 5.5 and am interested in getting the latest version of MCA9.

Pete

infiniteecho · 08-27-2006, 08:12 PM

One update guys ... If you're having trouble with the FTP, use passive mode. I told Barry this in a PM, and I figured I would make it public knowledge to save him PMs and aggrivation.

Also, using an FTP client such as smartFTP would be a wise decision as well. Any other questions, feel free to PM myself or Barc.

Barc · 08-28-2006, 05:26 AM

Thanks infiniteecho! I had forgotten that!

Maxfli, I'll email you the info. Your PMs won't work until you have 15 posts.

bdubs, I emailed you the info using the email address here on the .org (through the .org system).

Let me know if you don't receive anything! Thanks!

*flewdawg* · 08-28-2006, 02:26 PM

Hey, was wondering if I could be part of this. I had region 8, but my car was purchased in 2000 ... Sure it's one of the older versions ... who could I get my $$ to??!!

Barc · 08-28-2006, 06:15 PM

So far as the brand new CDs go (version 5.6), they aren't out yet. We're going to wait until they come out which should be some time in the fall.

I'll PM or email you with some info regarding the download.

EDIT

PM sent to flewdawg.

bigshark · 09-02-2006, 05:46 AM

Guys,

I'm from the FA QX4 forum (bigshark there as well) and I'd like to share my older v5.0 area 7 for archival. Can I get on the PM list and help out?

bdubs · 09-02-2006, 08:17 AM

Does anyone know how to upload to the server? I tried uploading MCA 3 5.1 but it said I didn't have permission to upload to the server. sorry for posting FTP info on the forum. I am using the upload username and password.

the error message I got was
Details:
200 type set to I.
227 entering passive mode (64,xxx,xxxx,xxx,xxxx)
550 cannot STOR. No permission.

Please don't post FTP information here... Thank you

Secondly, are you using the right username / password? The download username will not allow for uploading. Others have had no issue uploading, so please check to make sure your FTP client is configured correctly.

sodaboy · 09-05-2006, 11:58 AM

hey signed up because i saw this post. just moved into pennsylvania and am in need of cds and thought itd be cool to get the whole collection if possible. was wondering if someone could give me the ftp address where id be able to download them. i am also willing to pay 50 dollars for the new versions to lessen the cost for getting that collection for you guys or i can even do it now through paypal. i have a low post count so i dont know if pm's work for me but my email is wcy5002@psu.edu. thanks guys.
