Hi, all
This is my first message in this forum and I registered to post a thank-you message to the helpers in this message. I have a Tribeca 2013 which uses C1 Denso DVD. I have looked for the map update for a long time since I bought this car new and th cost of 300 AUD stopped me from updating it as it's not a permanent cost it is just one update only. Hence, for so many years I had to buy an iphone app called Sygic and it has been working fine since but I always prefer using the car nav system with updated map. I got your C1 Denso zipped file for version 22 and the DVD worked perfectly no need to me to do any further installation in the car. So, if you also use C1 Denso DVD like me, please note the following if you are not a tech person and do not know how to burn it into a DVD and make it work, as follows:
1. To know if you use C1 or C2 you will need to go to napshop.com.au and select your car. On the narrative it will tell you what version C1 or C2 your car is using. Then select the file to download accordingly.
2. Once donwloaded in your PC, it will be a zipped file using 7z. If you use Windows 7 or 10, you can unzip this easily in your PC without installing the 7z software. Otherwise download the software to unzip.
3. Unzip it into a single ISO file.
4. This is the tricky part to non-tech person and I believe this is where some person reports it is not working for them (other than the reason that you select wrong C1 into C2 and vice versa). When you burn it into DVD, if you use a software (say Roxio or ImgBurn because you don't have built-in software in Win 7 or 10), you must select the option to burn ISO image. It is because when you do this, it will expand the ISO file into many files into the DVD. If you burn in a way that you only have the single ISO file in the DVD, I believe it will not work in your car as your car will not understand what is ISO file.
5. If you use Win 10 for example, burning it easy. Copy the ISO (about 4.4GB for C1) into DVD and right click and burn into image.
6. When you burn with software say ImgBurn, you must also select the option to verify files after burning. If not, when done, view the files in the DVD you must see many files and folders not just a single ISO file. Then it's good.
7. Now you remove the old DVD in your car and insert this new in, it will work perfect. This is the case for me.
I do not mind about joining you later on for the group buy in the next update of the map so I will check this frequently. Thank you all for this file. It's a great find for me with my Tribeca. I have another car Forester XV 2012 and it uses SD card and I can't find any update for it I think it is more likely I would need to pay 165 AUD for the update of the maps on Subaru website. With this model, there is no free map update unless I think I need to buy model from 2016 or later. If you know how to update map into SD card please let me know.
