If someone can burn me a copy of MCA9 I'd be more than happy to pay for your time.

Thanks.

So let me know people, and I'll hook it up, and can start taking the ISO's.

I ran mines directly to the speedometer, tapped into the wire on one of the harnesses. Don't remember which one, and my wire schems are buried in my drawer or toolbox somewhere. If you need, I can see if I can find them one day. And your discs are in the mail tomorrow morning

I am looking for version 5.5 navigation CDs for a 2003 I35. I currently have version 5.4 complete. I really only need disks 5,6,7,8,and 9, but the complete set would be nice. I would be willing to share if you need any version 5.4.

Thanks in Advance,

MCA-9 5.5v (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D9NKOPM0) 051013-1288

I think if you brake down those numbers here is my take first 2 numbers represent year, second 2 numbers represent month, third 2 numbers represent day after dash I think it represents what region its for.

Here is 5.5 Installer (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UWNXV3HY) - not tested by me, so I can't help you with it. My current software version - WXC32031 and above MAP CDs work great on my Navigation system, and I have checked it my self.

MCA2 v5.5 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E6OY9U3F

MCA6 v5.5 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JJRRLHW0

I have tried burning them as data cds with the CDROM.DAT placed in the root directory but the navigation system doesn't accept it. My hopes were that there is a way to rip the hidden information from one of the other discs and use it in conjunction with these.

Anyway I am still trying to see if the person that uploaded these for me will try making rips in iso form instead. If he does I will gladly post the urls here as well.

EDIT: Just wanted to point out that CDROM.DAT is the majority of the information, I think the hidden tracks that we need are just to prevent copying cds although most cd rippers can pull it if you rip the cd instead of pulling just the data file.

Thanks to sas_mk we all now have a copy of MCA2. She messaged me asking if I had found a working copy which I had still not been successful in doing so, but I told her I would let her know if I came across a copy.

Turns out she found a copy faster than I did, so I gave her directions on how to upload it for all of us to benefit from. Here is the image, the link should be good for 2 months and it will keep renewing every time someone downloads a full copy.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QER7YN5N MCA2 V5.5

If for some reason the link goes bad, feel free to message me and I will upload a new copy as I usually save software locally for a pretty long time. There were some questions as to what version the above software was because she received a copied version herself, but the word is that it is in fact 5.5. If someone has a way of verifying that for us it would be good to know.

Anyway the above image was downloaded and tested by me, so I know it does work. If anyone needs help downloading and burning it just hit me up in the thread or in private message. Thanks again sas_mk!

EDIT: Just want to add one more thing, make sure you burn these images at the slowest setting possible to ensure faster load times in your car. Our car's navigation system wasn't designed for burned cds so they take longer to read from. Burning slower ensures that the data is easier to read with weaker lasers. I initially burned my copy on the fastest setting and noticed the car taking a while to load street names when entering in destinations. Now that I've re-burned on a slower speed everything is much quicker and pops up almost instantly now. Another thing that will help preserve the life of the cd is to not label with sharpy marker, I actually didn't label my primary disc at all since I'll almost never need to remove it.

If anybody has the MCA2 CD -- please contact me!! I would love to get a backup copy!

Thank you so much.

The DVD, of course, has a lot more data per disc. That said, they are not as detailed, in some areas. This is due to the fact that they DO contain all the regions on a single disc.

Since DVDs generally only have room for 4.7 GB of data and a single CD can contain 650 MB, the DVD has to skimp in some areas, especially when you consider there are 9 regions (@ about 600MB per region) and when you consider that they aren't a direct swap over from the CDs. Also keep in mind that the DVDs have Canada, as well. That's a lot of data for 4.7 GB of space.

DVDs are getting a lot better, however. The more time that goes by, the better they are becoming... just like anything else. Each release has more detailed maps of more areas. Here's an example of what I mean:


7.0


7.1


7.2 (the latest)

Anyway, all that being said, the DVDs are really getting a leg up on CDs now. They are really starting to have a lot better coverage in some areas (mostly Canada).

The CDs only have a single "region" per disc. There are some regions that are small but are very detailed. Some regions are huge but, due to roads, population centers, etc, they may not be all that detailed. Also, to get the entire country on disc, it would cost about 4 times as much as the single DVD option... plus, you don't get Canada.
