Thank you for this!!! Since I am on a Mac, its time to fire up the Windows VM

The 2014 image is version X9U62002 dated 2012/10/12


NOTE:
• Unless you have/install the Mega app, you can only download with Chrome.
• Files can only be opened in Windows using Macrium Reflect. (there is a free version)

Please correct me if I'm wrong

Oh yeah, they are Macrium files. And yea, it's free. Macrium compresses it a bit so I was able to get it small enough to upload. And I think you are right about the Chrome thing as well.


Oh, and if anyone was wondering, I 2014 HDD in a 2008 HU does not boot (obviously lol, i just figured i'd see what happens)

For clarity, the HDD that I sent iCrap was from a 2014 Q60 (still G37 Coupe). I doubt there is much, if any difference, between Coupe/ Sedan/ 'Vert, but...

I'm glad you were able to access the HDD. I guess I had a defective headunit which is why it never booted up for me... In any case, happy tinkering everyone!

So would a new image be an effective upgrade for a 2013 nav unit (once the HDD was unlocked)?

Was sent a bunch of chip info to look at for the Pi project on GVIF, but baby steps.

Aside from some potentially newer map data I don't think there would be any appreciable difference. I would imagine that these drives were all mass produced at nearly the same time with the specific vehicle configuration applied as each car rolled off the production line.

I have a firmware update disk iso another member provided back in oct. 2017. I don't recall what the version on it is but it did resolve my mp3/nav/reboot issue on longer routes. It's just disk 0, no map/data disks. It accepted my original map data without issue.

Yeah, my 2012 maps don't show some streets... like where I live. According to the car GPS, I live in the woods.

Thank you!!!!
I am at Bluetooth version E0420 (doesn't work well) and this has an update to E0450... I may need to clone my drive (just to be safe) and apply this update....

^^Glad it worked for you. I tend to keep stuff for years and years (current storage around 80TB in this box). At some point it may be useful. I didn't have an opportunity to backup the original. Didn't want to take the dash/unit apart. In fact, up until that time I didn't even know if the dvd drive worked. All media has always been played back from usb flash drives.

Very cool! I hit a wall with mine. I need to get ahold of a 2010+ system.

I really could use the TPMS data on mine. My light likes to come on randomly and turn off just as randomly. It would be nice to check the pressure through the screen instead of wondering if I have low air or if my module is just acting up.

You could always just give up on the stock system :P
