New 2009-2010 DVD Navigation Disc
#101
Unfortunately I garner nothing from that except that it contradicts the results of some over here in the USA. There's too much wiggle room in that description as to how people express what they actually did. From what I've seen reported on over here once you update you can't utilize an older DVD. I don't know why you'd want to anyway.

I don't know what wiglge room you feel was there but here's what they did: took out their own (older) disk, put in the borrowed (newer) disk, let firmware update, took out the borrowed disk, put in their own disk. All OK, but the nav now uses newer firmware from the update.

There are people on this forum in the USA who report just the opposite. Some have in fact screwed up their Nav units doing this. Go search for the threads and have a look.

Only things that could possibly cause that are:
The nav should be updated with the car running not in the on position.
with the car in the on postion you run the risk of a low battery causing the firmware to update and "bricking" the unit.
impatience can also cause the person terminate the update before its done.
Dirty lens which can cause the firmware image to be read improperly.
you can toss the logic of the wrong copied disk.
The system has internal checks to verify the MD5 checksum, if it differs the update will not proceed.

Well I have no idea WHY anyone would want to update the firmware from a new DVD and then run the with the data off the old DVD? Why not just update and run?
ut as I remember the couple of posts on this topic they updated and it didn't work but then they couldn't go back to their old DVD or as you suggested they got impatient or just had a plain error and bricked the unit. I can certainly understand the potential for new firmware not being able to read an old data structure though I'd never design and write anything that way unless I had no choice due to budgeting or technology constraints.
I'm guessing the guy you got yours from never sent another so as to eliminate the rare possibility of a burning issue or he just doesn't know what he's doing?

Why don't you tell us which version you have? We can probably tell you more about the changes. Look for a 2 letter code after the NATEQ product code. It will be something like "BD" or "BE".
