Hi ... yes, worked fine for me ... I also then took the time to learn how to use the Nav functions ... I found a tutorial on youtube ... I have to admit the nav app works fine once you understand the structure - and I love the heads up nav display. I had planned to upgrade the radio a more modern unit - but now don't know ... :-/

I've been using it for 10 years, and it's awesome with the HUD integration. I preplan most of our road trips, so I tend to use memory points for my daily destination input.
It allows entering those while the car is in movement.

I think companies like Staples, UPS retail outlets and so on will do this as well.
Another forum member went to their local library, and they helped them burn the CD.

Glad that so many of you were able to use this fix, however, it didn't work for me. Followed the directions, car outside and running, removed the map dvd, inserted the "fix" cd-r, got the message that this was not a map dvd, waited for over a minute and nothing.
Any suggestions?

I used a TDK on a Vista machine as my new laptop doesn't have a dvd/cd player. Anyway, I got another new disc and a third party cd burner and I was successful in getting it installed. I was hoping to get back my blanked out INFO button, but it didn't happen. Anyone got any suggestions on getting INFO back?

The OEM Nav is pretty powerful in itself. It's not intuitive like a Garmin, but everybit as good to get you where you have to go.
I've been using it for 10 years, and it's awesome with the HUD integration. I preplan most of our road trips, so I tend to use memory points for my daily destination input.

Well I can not get my disk to load.
The screen never moves forward form the "Disk is not a nav disk" error message.
I too think I need a properly downloaded file on a proper disk.
Current Windows 10 no Winzip software.
1) Have CDR disk.
2) Downloaded zip file to laptop … indicates the proper size.
3) From download extract files...show proper file size.
4) Drag extracted files to CD drive.
5) Computer indicates CD needs to be formatted as it can't be read.
6) Format disk using mouse menu.
7) Redrag files to CD drive
8) Use top menu to burn too disk.
9) Disk shows "Loading File Name" only and size seems correct.
The file will not update into the Nav.
Above procedure is from my memory no itemized as I do the procedure...maybe a step is loft out.
Any comments on what I am doing wrong?

Kenny,
I've never had much luck in burning CD's using the windows programs. I always use either Nero Express (which I did for this file) or IMBURN.
Both are free downloads.
Insert empty CD-R disc in burner
For Nero express, open the program, click on "data burning" button, then click on "+ add" button to find your file that you extracted (LOADING.KWI) which will add it to Nero , then hit "BURN"
I used a Verbatim or Memorex CD-R as I know that these work for me. I've used generic ones, Staples, etc. and they don't always work.
Good luck
