I d/l'd this file (10.93 mb) a few times, burnt it onto CD-RW and CD-R (at 2 different speeds), did the 1+3+8 trick, and the update just doesn't go through. The cd spins for a few minutes, and eventually gets spat out, eventually with an "CD error" or something like that. this is on a 05.

Mackhack

Either you don't need the update or DVD drive is bad. If you need a replacement drive contact me via pm for pricing, availability and more.

Mackhack

Officially the 6x CDC supports mp3 playback capability as of 04/19/2004. Code SA 819 says so btw.

nizzle

sub'd for later

Did you burn it as an ISO image? If you need it or not, it should offer to upgrade, downgrade, or offer to reflash.

Mackhack

It doesn't give you an option @PB. See my screenshots. I'm updating once and downgrade once. Uses the same wording. It just displays the current firmware version and the new one which can be newer or older.

gaazmon

my car was an 02/2004 build lol. ya i have the 819 code according to my vin decode breakdown and it says 819 CD changer - alpine - in trunk (? 31.07.1992)

Mackhack

Alpine? Why Alpine in trunk?

gaazmon

idk why it says that. i used that russian vin decoder way back when so maybe something with translation

Mackhack

Gotcha. Alpine is the manufacturer of NTG1 COMAND units for Japan with integrated Internet access (sweeeeeet )

gaazmon

with internet access huh? that would be sweet

ghettoroadster

no, I burnt the individual files. US4006 zip didn't contain an ISO. Then again, it was only 10.93 MB instead of 34.5MB, so perhaps I got the wrong file?

murman

Nice. You have one of the few NA-spec units with DVD-ROM. No movie playback but you can play a big fat DVD full of mp3 files.

Daveyboy1340

That's some bull haha. So no possible way of getting it to work by upgrading software????????????

Might as well stick a piece of buttered toast in it. Worthless lol..

I want want to watch some 2 Fast 2 Furious and blast the Ludacris theme song HAHA

Mackhack

By entering Engineering Menu.

Mackhack

Stick a piece of toast in and send me a PM when you need a new drive!

MPOW33R

I have the Harmon Kardon NON Big Screen =( MBZ Build Date 4/03 with Cassette lol But i want to try this anyway, Can you email me the link direct MPOW33R@gmail.com

Ill do it now and ill let you guys know if it worked or if it effs up my radio and ill be fooorrccedddddd to buy a newer Big Screen Command Head Unit

Anyone sellling one , i dont care for the Nav i just want the big screen look ? If so hit me up

BTW - Every time i get in my car my CD starts playback at Track 1 .. so frustrating Im a DJ so I listen to and make full length untracked Mixes and this really blows.. Anyone with a remedy
will get inboxed 6 Full Length Mixes =)

Mackhack

What are you trying to accomplish with this? The firmware update for the NTG1 won't work on your Audio50 device.

MPOW33R

I was hoping to get my deck to read MP3 but after reading more and running some searces I realized it won't work - still need to figure out why at every turn key my CD retarts to track one as if I just inserted it -

Mackhack

Check the settings. I'm not too familiar with Audio20/50 but COMAND NTG1 has a bunch of settings for the CD/DVD playback like that or party shuffle, repeat etc. pp.
