'99 TL w/Navi

I'm moving to the Oregon area from California and I need the navigation files from that region. I've already done the hard drive upgrade so I'm familiar with the process. The easiest method, I know, is to go to the dealership, but I've already called three and none of them have the files or the 'equipment' to do the file swap.

Does anyone have the Northwest region files? It should cover WA, OR, ID, MT, WY, UT, CO, AZ, NM. So I figure there should be plenty of people in one of those states with a TL w/Navigation.

Can you help me out?

 

i wish i could help you out, but if you can't find them, go to www.navhelp.com
i got them for 125 i think. gl

 

Yeah,.. I know that's an option. But what can I say,.. I'm cheap. I know that someone has to have the files somewhere.

 

do you have the NE files???? i could use a copy of those. other than that i have the SE region that i dont need....

There may be some help in this thread:

What's also interesting about this thread is that it was started by Paul Mooney himself in 2003 as he started to collect the various region files.

Good luck!

yeah, that thread is useless because hes charging for the files. thats not cool if he got them all for free from other members and now hes charging 125 with the card reader. you can buy all the stuff you need for under 50 bucks. i understand you need to make a buck, but the concept of this forum is to help other users, not rob them. im actually very upset because ive done the navi conversion 3 weeks ago, and no one has helped me out with some files.

 

If you actually took the time to read the thread you'd know he paid for some of the files by buying them at the dealer.

 

well, my bad if i happened to misread that part. but is there anyone else out there who is willing to help free of charge or a swap for that matter SE for NE??

 

Well I checked with Paul and apparently he doesn't offer the files by themselves. Don't quite get why not,.. but whatever, I'm not gonna complain. I'm just surprised someone (other than Paul) doesn't have the files that I'm looking for. I mean,.. the NM005 files cover something like 9 states. How can there not be someone on here from that area with Navi?

 

My man, im dealin with the same issues here. Ive posted and posted for the NE files, and no one seems to reply. And i know theres lots of people out here with these files as well. I dunno what else to tell you, other than good luck. hopefully you'll have better luck than i have.

How do you 'know' this?

 

ebay has them


wow paul mooney himself? how are you sure. he is god. haha "everybody want to be a nigga but nobody want to be a nigga" hahah his quote.

 

wow, hes seems very professional and has a lot of time on his hand. haha

different from the usual mooney we see on tv?

 

Now would be a great time to upgrade to DVD. I did, and I'm glad I did... it's nice having lots more POIs and the entire country...

 

can you all use my old OEM disc from a 2003 TL-S Navi? I got the upgrade disc and have the old one sitting around. I would give it to you for shipping or just a SASE.

 

Sorry I can't actually help- got my own navi issues...

But, that Mooney guy seems to be a real ghetto-dawg:

My system is a harddrive based system,.. so for those of you who think that I can just get the DVD, thanks, but it doesn't work like that. I need the files from a similar harddrive unit. Thanks though.

Anyone else?

 

Sorry if a little off topic. But can i copy the oem navigation dvd like i copy a normal movie?

 

I haven't tried this, but I've heard reports that it most certainly will not work... there is some kind of copy protection on the disc. I think I read that someone figured out a way around this, but they didn't share it.

Anyway, check eBay, you can get an older disc for pretty cheap from there.

 

For those with the harddrive units i would upgrade to the dvd units. The info is far easier to come by

 

 

I come across movies all the time that are copy protected, there has only been 1 or 2 i could not back-up? Wonder what kind of protection are on the navi discs?
