Is it an ISO file? (A direct CD image copied from the disc?) If the file was just copied and pasted from the disc to the computer it will not work.

Yes it's an ISO file, an exact "binary" copy of a CD, not a file copy.

This was such a simple process everyone with a navi disc should do the upload so your fellow .orger can have the copies that they want. take 20minutes out of your day and follow the directions on uploading and post it here. I would still like to have MCA 9v5.5.

So you had a copy of a nav disk to share all this time, but wouldnt until someone uploaded what you need?

You were the one posting and asking for people to upload what they had, which I thought was a good idea, however you refused to do the same until someone posted what you need?

This I wont scratch your back until you scratch mine is exactly why this Nav disk swapping attempt has not gone smoother.

Navigation disc MCA1

I have a 2001 QX4. I have a message on my navigation system that says "insert program disc" The only disc I have is already inserted. I have a v.5.0 MCA1. I don't know if the program disc is different than the navigation disc, but I'd really like to solve this issue as I have no control over the a/c, heat, defrost now. Are the bits still online for download? Has anyone else had this problem?

i need your disk! that or the program disk is the one I am looking for.

The program disk is different than the Nav disk. Not sure why you have issues with the AC controls, my controls still work even without a disk in there.

Program disc needed

I assume it's the program disc I need then as I'm having trouble controlling the climate in the car. Does anyone have a backup of a program disc I can borrow, or bits for me to download?

Its nice to see that someone has every disc, however, we've been sharing CDs for a long time - key word there is "share." No one has made a cent off of navigation CDs in this "CD swap" thread. If you'd like to make some money from your discs, post in the classifieds and if anyone is willing to pay for them, they'll see them there.

James - I'm sending my new MCA 9 disc to Megaupload as we speak. I'll post a link here for ya. (I'm not sure if its a 5.5 or not, but it sure does seem to have every road and fast food place and whatnot - Maybe you can look up the version by the numbers I found in the nav system - it said I installed version SD3US028, and that the version number was 000528-1288. I looked on the Zenrin site and googled the numbers, but I couldn't find anything.)

If you search this thread, back a couple pages (staying within the last 6 months) you'll find info about how to burn CDs in .ISO format (ISO is a CD image).

I wrote the post, but I don't have time to search for it (@ work now) but if you look, I bet you'll find it.

Could someone post MCA5 5.5? I've been trying to get from navteq and after several months on backorder, they can't tell me if or when I'll ever get it. So, I just gave up. Would really appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Is the stock navigation system a pain to keep updated cause I've got an 01 that I was trying to find the stock Navi system for but after reading some of the posts it seems that they are a pain to use. Would it be better just to go aftermarket double DIN than or is stock the way to go?

Hi guys, I am in need of MCA 7. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. I have to make a trip up to CT soon and would hate to have to spend $120 plus for one trip.

Thanks!

Hi guys... I last looked at this thread back in 2007 and just spent a while trying to catch up. I'll try to summarize for those of you just stumbling upon this thread (or back to it). Hopefully this will help somebody.

There was an FTP server a while back hosting several CDs, but it's long since gone. It was later replaced with a web site that is now also gone. It looks like it's no use posting asking someone to PM or email server info.

People are now posting files on megaupload, which I think is a pretty good idea. ZGadson posted great instructions a few pages back that explain how to upload a file to megaupload and post the link back here.

Here are the files that have been put up on megaupload so far:
MCA1 v5.0 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MET7SY3L (thanks ichabodwood!)
MCA1 v5.3 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5BPNVKRC (thanks BoostTed!)
MCA1 v5.5 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3KDBWB8A (thanks BoostTed!)
MCA3 v5.5 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=613BOPHH (thanks aurora40!)
MCA6 v5.5 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2EOXWSFW(thanks aurora40!)
MCA8 v5.1 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SZHD79EY (thanks KiNgJaMEs!)
MCA9 v5.0 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NR4MMRVQ (thanks n3d1m!)
MCA9 v5.5 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KGTX6P9C (thanks ZGadson!)

I haven't tested any of these yet. I'll try to edit this post when I do, or hear of anyone else trying one.

v5.5 is the latest version available for CD-based units, and probably will be the last. v5.5 map CDs require you to update your navigation unit with a v5.5 program CD. There are versions for Nissan and Infiniti. Presumably the only difference is the logo shown at boot up, though I haven't heard of anyone flashing an Infiniti update to a Nissan or vice versa. No one has posted the program CD on megaupload yet. Hopefully someone will, since a few people (myself included) are looking for it. (HINT, HINT )

If you've got any others to share, especially v5.5 program update CDs or other v5.5 MCAs that are missing, please do!
