Hi, I have a 2001 MDX, Black DVD...ripped in ISO mode with Decrypter and burnt the image with Nero at the slowest speed with a DVD+R (maxell/Ritek DVD) worked no problem

Anyway here is my question, I have a 2001 MDX with Navi ( black dvd disc), of course..
I just brought it to Canada and of course I would like to get some Canadian coverage, so i started doing some research on burning...well a lot of problems, I tried it , took my time and my burnt copy worked like a charm, 10 times I turned on and off and only once did it not work and all I did was remove and reinsert the DVD, so not a real problem.
Now, the 2001 dvd is Black, the one I think I will need to get, if possible, would be the Orange color DVD from the 2003 models, this offered the Canadian coverage, as per Alpines website. So I think that these are Dual Layer DVD's in the '03, is my 2001 unit able to read the Dual Layer Disc, or is it only able to read single layer, because if that is the differences between the generations, then I think instead of using the DL disc I could split the info of the disc in 2, so, 1 single layer disc for ex. could hold all the east coast and the other single layer disc would hold the east coast info. Does this make sense, have you heard of anyone doing, this? I have access to a 2003 Disc for like $25.00 but not sure until I hear if it is possible to burn it or even use it. Any ideas, Options? Anything I could do have Canadian coverage, without having to spend like $200 +
Thanks for the help if you are able to...

 

Don't expect software piracy to go over too well here; especially given it's your first post on this forum.

 

There are legitimate uses for DVD copy. I would love to have a backup disk.

 

Sure. But that's clearly not what the OP was suggesting.

 

The dvd are different color for each year for a reason- and even car models within a year may be different disc.
Alpine secured its future by making each year special whatever- thats why you have to buy them direct from Alpine, and they need the cars VIN to get you the right one.

A portable GPS for 200-300$ would be your easy option. You can get map cards or downloads for anywhere in the world.

 

I'm thinking the problem, or difference is that 1 plays single layer discs and the other plays dual layer discs, which is an easy fix...to use the dual layer on the single layer player.

 

Why don't you just buy someones old disc, I am sure that someone is selling it.
