That sounds about right, it will only burst into life when you put the disc in if it's a newer version than the one on the HD.
Diamond Black Golf GTI, DSG, Monza IIs, Cruise, MFSW, Rear Tints and Ipod. VRmmmmmmmm!

Poweriso also lets you modify the map files so you can put the cameras locations on. 

And where would one find the camera locations files/info to add it to the v4.0 maps?

Pics:







Install was easy. Didn't need to do any choping of cables or ends. Just unscrewed the square connectors on the cables and they went in fine. Added some tape to make them secure in case they did decide to move. Took 20minutes.

Transferring music is taking forever!!!!!!!!!!!!  :angry:#

looks nice .... have you got highline and mfsw to compliment it , do you get a tomtom style view on the sat nav or is it as it is in the picture.
I've noticed it takes longer to copy from DVD so im sticking with the SD card to transfer music to HDD. But even that is slow!


One thing i've noticed is that the fan on the back of the unit seems to stay on all the time. Is this normal?

Sorry to take this off topic - but I notice you have a 'liquid' air freshener there Maxamus?

Did you read the tales of woe posted on other Forums about the damage caused to the dash trim and radio after a 'leakage/spillage' ?

To add extra POIs you need to download POI Inspector 3.5

If you add speed cameras as POIs you only get a visual indication, no audio warnings

I use it to add the likes of red light cameras, McDonalds  :embarassed: and Shell petrol stations to give me visual indications on the map

I had one of those liquid air freshener things from halfrauds.

Had it for a week and the thing leaked over my dash, ruining my clock and making a stain on the plastic trim round my HU. Unfortunately I couldn't find the friggin receipt.

to burn .mdf files you will need MagicISO. These a proprietary images files specific to that programme from what I can gather from the internet.
