| GPS DVD Update - 1791 Hack - Hack Found for 2006-2007 DVD |
|
Hey there,
My LR3 has the 2004 version, and I'm interested in upping to the latest DVD. Currently available is 2006-2007. Anybody know if 2007-2008 may be released soon?
Thanks.

So what I've found,
On the 2006-2007 disc, some sort of update occurs that blocks 1791.
So what I've found is at least in the UK and Europe, dealers issued a GPS software update that allows drivers to change the destination while driving. See: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic7489.html
My question is, does anybody know if this is available in the US? And should I have the dealer do the update before I load the new disc, or does it matter?

You are right on my 2007 the code can be entered but you still can not enter while moving. Betting it's probably a legal type thing. I have this item on my dealer list of questions. Here is another post that might give you some more back ground if interested: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic5228.html?highlight=1791 2007 LR3 HSE - Zermatt Silver

Guess what I did tonight!
I bought a 2006-2007 Navigation DVD couple weeks ago, did a little dissecting. After looking everything over, and many messed up blank DVDs, I have successfully created a 2006-2007 DVD that allows 1791 bypass.
I inserted the DVD, took the car for a spin and 1791 worked just as normal. I even looked up some newer developments that were not on the 2004 cd, and all were present.
Boo-Ya I did it!

My car is a 2005 LR3, but if you have had the 2006-2007 DVD-ROM in your car already, you most likely installed the update and are SOL. But for everyone else that have always used the 2004 DVD, this will work.
In order to rip the DVD, these are the things you're going to need.
1) DVD-R drive with DVD+R DL capabilities
2) DVD+R DL (double layer) which are twice as expensive as regular DVD+R media
3) A program called PowerISO which I bought for $30.
-Basically what has to be done, is rip the 6.5gb disc to an .iso image on the computer. Once the image is on the computer, the iso has to then be edited to remove LOADING.KWI. Once that has been the disc HAS to be burned as a DVD-ROM in DVD-ROM booktype, in order to be recognized in the DVD-ROM player under the driver's seat.
-Whole process takes about 2 hours.
Or...
For those of you not computer literate, and may not have all the necessary items, I will sell to anybody a copy of the navigation DVD for $50, provided that you can show me a receipt that you legally purchased the 2006-2007 DVD. I spent maybe $100.00 trying to figure this out as well as many hours behind my computer. I'm a college student so making a little back on what I lost would help me out dearly. If you would like to do so, Private Message me.
For those of you who want to give it a go, here's what I did:
1) Open PowerISO
2) With the Land Rover DVD-ROM in your drive, click "tools"--->"Make CD/DVD-ROM Image FIle"
3) Change Destination File to ".iso file", and name the DVD "464210-5760" without quotes.
4) Hit OK
Edit/Burn Time
5) Once the .iso is ripped, you'll see in the right pane all the files and the one folder on the disc. Right click on "LOADING.KWI" and choose delete.
6) Now that loading is off the image, you can remove the Land Rover Disc and insert your DVD+R DL.
7) Click the "Burn" icon - This is the point where you'll actually find out if your DVD+R
drive will burn Double Layer DVDs.
8) Once the DVD says completed successfully, then you've got yourself a Nav disc.
Other Notes:
*I used Sony DVD+R DL, I would think other brands should work, but I didn't try yet.
*Also make sure you remove LOADING.KWI from the image in step 5 otherwise you're just going to install the update.
*Like anything else in the US, I do not condone pirating of software, and this is for back-up and the 1791 code hack only.
*This is the process I used, worked great for me and if followed

Got a question for you - why won't this hack work on a newer LR3? I just purchased an 07 HSE and would love to figure a way around this. 1791 gets me nowhere.
Anyone else figured this out for newer models?
thanks

If I just said "357" to you; what would I be talking about?  Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Transgenic tomato anyone?

Sounds like they installed a file onto the computer that will disable the 1791 hack. No one has figured out how to remove or downgrade the file on the computer of the LR3. Sorry bud.
