does any one know were to get older nav discs ... 2001 996tt .. indiana location.

 

You can sometimes find them on e-bay and here in the parts classifieds...

Doubt anyone has Indiana - anyone from Indiana sucks... - Just kidding - I grew up in Indiana! What part are you from? I grew up in Mitchell and lived in the burbs on Indy for a few years...

 

Wait, why? Why do you want an old data disc???

The newer data discs are compatible with older systems- to a point. What you want (I would think) is the newest disc for your system. I actually think the new 2008 update may work.

Depends on the year of his nav unit - look like he has a 2001 car, so that would be the old CD-ROM discs, and the newer discs do not work in them. I have the old Nav in mine, but plan on scrapping it for an aftermarket unit when that time comes.

 

Ah. My 2004 has CDs as well. Frankly I do not know where they make he cutoff on the Map discs....

 

Silly question - can't you just burn the CDs?

 

If you can find them, maybe. Legally, no way. Plus the maps are almost 10 years old - so not all road, etc. Best to just go aftermarket....

 

i am from the middlebury area. up north .. i called the fort wayne dealer. they dont carry old discs. they gave me the the manufacture of the discs number and they dont support that older yr any more. i have tried an 02 set but it did not boot up. i know my system works because i have a south east disc and everything seams to be working fine and it asking me for another disc for my location that i am in. i have been scaning on ebay for 01 generation but have not seen one yet. it seema like they should be available.

 

I believe that only 2001 used the older disks. I had the same problem and the only was i was able to get a disk was to ask on all the forums and someone happened to have the one i was looking for sitting around. You need the 2001.1 disk, but I am not certain which disk it is. If you keep an eye on ebay, they will pop up every once in a while, but they are very expensive. Navteq had a full set you could buy last year when i was looking and i think it was about $300. When i first contacted them, they said they didn't have it, and the second time I contacted them, they had it...go figure.

 

I had an full extra set that I gave away to someone here on the board. Maybe he can burn a {backup} copy and then pay it forward?!!!

I can't even remember the guy's name but he was from the Six....
