Official Zenrin 6.4 DVD Nav update thread
OK, like many of you I have got the card from Zenrin for the $190 6.4 upgrade. I have an 03 touring with the original 6.1 DVD. Has anyone upgraded yet? Is it worth it?
I ordered one. I'm sure alot has been updated since v6.2 that came with the car.
Good news is I made a backup of a 6.2 map disc on a dual layer dvd r+ which works flawlessly. So assuming I can do the same for v6.4 this baby is going up on eBay

I have to eject the disk and see which version I have. I assume it's 6.2, since I recall buying an update after I bought my car. I assume this is just another data update and does not include the improved GUI that comes with the 7.x version of the software.

The key is to use a drive (I used a Plextor PX-716A) that supports changing the Book Type (bitsetting) for DvD+R DL media to DvD-ROM so that the navigation system will see the burned disc as a DvD-ROM (as is the original disc) and not a burned DvD+R DL disc.
DvD Decrypter allows you to change the Book Type for DvD+R and DvD+R DL media to DvD-ROM on drives that support the changing of media book type (bitsetting).-
Tools==>Drive==>Change Book Type
After changing the Book Type for the media, I first created an image file (.iso) of the Map DvD with DvD Decrypter using the ISO read mode. Then burned the image file onto a DvD+R DL disc using the ISO write mode.
Works as well as the original

You can also do the same thing using Nero v6 or greater.-
Recorder Tab==>Choose Recorder (select your dual layer burner dvd burner) ==> Options tab and select DVD-ROM from the Book Type drop down.
You basically only need to have a dual layer burner that supports bitsetting and a blank dvd +r dual layer disc.
Then you create the image and burn it. No other tools are required since the disc doesn't have any copy protection scheme ( like DvD movies).
I'll update how it goes once I get the v6.4 update.

Hey guys, I've got 6.1. I would be willing to buy 6.2 or greater from anybody that upgrades to 6.4. Let me know if you guys decide to sell. If you guys look at an 06 Z brochure from Nissan, the GPS layout looks better. I wonder if the 6.4 update will change the look, or is it the whole system?
