phils C5 vette

I think of Ed Snowden when I read this statement. If someone was trusted with the information and asked not to share it, Kudos to him for honoring the request and not sharing it.

Vintagegas is a man in my book. If guys dont have his same ethics, well I dont know what to say about them.

Its a simple trust thing. The fix was on the way out in a couple days. What happens the next time we need a fix, and the guys says no I lost my job last time I helped because I trusted someone that burned me?

I think it is time to drop all this nonsense.

But to set the record straight...yes a forum is a place to share info. BUT TO SHARE IT AT THE PROPER TIME. When someone does you a favor and asks one of you, it should not be an issue.

And as you mention about someone on another forum releasing the info and the engineer knowing about it. I can tell you that is not the case. He was very surprised by it.
Also I never said I was the only test bed. It was posted on this forum that there were other vette owners who lived in Michigan who volunteered their vehicles for the test.

What's done is done, time to forget it and move on.

I'm a Vette owner vet and that's exactly how I saw it when I noted the 11/11 posting date. Yes, I'm one of the owners that actually lost his clock on 12/11 and I am so looking forward to the fix. I haven't seen any post with DENSONAVI's email. I sure would like to send this person a personal thanks. Can anyone help me out?

I'm a Macbook user too. First I dragged and dropped the folder to the blank CD-R. I hit burn at the top right corner and waited. Once done I ejected the disk and pulled '08 vert out into the driveway. I ejected the map DVD and inserted the new install disk; nothing happened.

I took another disk and dragged only the KWI file. I went through the same iterations and lo and behold, it worked as advertised. I had to wait about three or four minutes until the red slash disappeared from GPS. I tested it by putting in an address and received the familiar miles AND TIME to destination. Good luck.

Finally, I am embarrassed to say when I first saw that it was posted a day early I figured I'd wait another day. However, when I saw so many of us had downloaded the fix I figured it must have been okay to do so too. My deepest apologies to Densonavi for the breech of trust. I should have waited and honestly feel ashamed. Nevertheless, my humblest thanks for your diligent work in fixing this for all of us. Please don't think ill of us for jumping the gun. It took only one person the jump the gun to cause a snowball effect. If I could take it back I would, as I believe would many others here would too. Again, thank you very much. You have no idea how perturbing it was to not have the functioning clock in the nav system.

Mine did not pick up or install the file.

Installed fix yesterday, it took less time to install it then it did to burn the CD. Now I have at least 6 guys from our club that need me to fix their clocks...

Thanks to Densonavi for doing this.. What a great person.

Thank you to Mr. Densonavi for being a person of strong moral character in taking the time to use your knowledge to make a patch to fix the clock issue on our beloved Corvette’s radio/navigation. KUDOS sir!!! Salute!

(I will install the fix on my 06 Z51 Vert come May. My baby is up off the floor and tucked in nice and snug for the loooong winter nap. I’m looking forward to seeing my clock again. Though a small thing, it just looks missing, incomplete...blank.)

I’d love to see this! Would you be willing to take a photo of yours and post it here please. I’m waiting till May to install the fix after I take mine out of hibernation.

Thank you vintagegas!

vintagegas

You are very welcome.

But today thanks should go to our Military and our VETERANS.
GOD bless them all.

I'm curious as to how the DVD-R didn't work for you. Did the disk not take the file? Did the Nav radio not read the burned disk? What did you use to burn the disk?

I burned the file to a DVD-R using a MacBook Pro and the radio upgraded perfectly.

Also much thanks to the Denso engineer that put the time and effort to fix the clock for us and keep us informed of the progress.

Thanks to all that work hard to help us out with a fix.
I won't get to use it for long as I put the car away at the end of the month and its really nice to have it done.
