Sat Nav Disk

[CharlesB]

Hi I looking for an uptodate disk for my 350z Sat Nav..... Any ideas anyone??

[Wasso]

Nissan charge something like £400 for the disk, it's really not worth the hassle. Unless there is some way of copying a recent disk, but then again I think the updated disk don't work on the older Satnav's

May be cheaper options

 

I don't have the factory SatNav...

On a side note: I've been tempted to copy mine for a backup, any idea if this would work or is there some form of copy protection on it?

You could always try copying and testing in the car to see what happens?

Caroline's 2008 Sat Nav disk is a double sided DVD, ordinary DVD recorders won't copy it because it contains 9GB of data on it. Special equipment required unfortunately. No idea if it's copy protected but there are ways around that

You don't need any special equipment, most drives now copy Dual Layer disks which is what you need, a double sided disk would need turning over anyway so you could copy each side onto a normal dvd

 

There are ways round anything pretty much anything unless you need to get an 'unlock' code from the manufacturer...

Thanks for the recommendation SpursMadDave, replaced my 06 cd and looks fine so far

[rob d]

Did it make much difference ? Do you still have the disc ? i have an 06 roadster and it would be nice to update before I do my run around europe in a week or so..

[ersen.o]

they aint double sided, theyre dual layer lol and u cant split it to 2 dvd

Although the Zed has now gone I can confirm that you can back them up. My original dvd was badly scratched when I got the car, though it still worked perfectly. Just in case it packed up I made a back up. I think it's fairly fussy about the type of burner and disk used. Took two attempts to get a working copy. I used a verbatim disc and a Lite-on burner on the slowest speed with Alcohol 120.

 

If you have to buy the kit from scratch it may well turn out cheaper to buy from the link in this discussion

ive a 2010-11 on a dual layer DVD which came with the car though it only seems to be UK not Europe, will try and copy it

[Viper]

had to buy a new DVD writer as my old one wouldnt burn dual layer DVD's, copied it tonight, though i havent tried out on the road will see tomorrow if it really worked...

[ersen.o]

it worked for me, im running the 2011 disc

 

but i had to buy verbatim dual layer discs, normal cheapo dics didnt work

Tends to be the same when *ahem* backing up *ahem* games discs too
