copying navigation CD roms
Hello,
Some months ago I "bought" some copied navigation cd-roms. Everything went fine and they all worked fine.
After a while my command system gave some read errors. This went worse and worse so I thought I had to many scratches on the CD. At lase it didn't want the CD roms anymore. ( Read error )
So I copied them again on a clean CD with no scratches. On my pc I can do whatever I want with these CD's, however my command system doesn't want them anymore. Both the old copies and the new ones are rejected by the COMMAND system.
- Anyone had the same experience ?
- Is there something I can do about this problem ?
thanks

This may or may not have anything to do with what you are experiencing.....however.... I have seen certain CD players reject certain brands of CD-R CDs. Try using a different brand of CD-R for your recording. I recommend buying a name brand CD-R rather than using one of those "100 CDs for $1" deals.

another point to consider
I did the same with my ML. Copying CD so I can keep the original in a safe place. I did about 10 tries and I realized that certain CD burner will work and some will not. Best bet is Lite On CD burner. I used the same brand of CD... the cheap kind $5 for 50. So far I found that Liteon works fine, and my sony drive, Teac... and some other didn't work. Hope that helps. The software I used is CloneCD.

if the comand read the CD at first but not any longer at this moment, chances are big that your comand is in need of a new laser...
Where did you get the comand from (used or new)?
greetingz,

I used a Black CDR (Like the Playstation Ones) to make a copy of my COMAND region 7 CD and thats what i used in my 2003 C320's COMAND system now. No problems what so ever.
Hope this helps.
P.S. I used the SUPERDRIVE(DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW) on my Macintosh to burn it.

Gents,
I copied them again on TDK 700MB discs with a FreeCom burner. The other one was TEAC.
It works now, so it seemed to be a burner/CD problem and not the command unit itself ...
I will also try the black discs, to see wether they are worth the cost.
Thank for all the help I've got !

I find black discs more cause more read errors.
Use good quality silver discs and a slow copy speed.
I've had no problems with 80min discs in command.

Hi
I have comand in C Class. I bought the 2002 Michelin GB disc Nov last year. The 2003 came out Dec 2002 with postcodes. Looks like I really missed out and I do not fancy shelling out another £90. Anyone know where I can get the 2003 one cheap or obtain a copy.
I have cd's for France and Benelux 2002 if anyone wants to do a copy swap etc.
Thanks

Problem with all my cds after last service
https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...threadid=51042
You can see from my other posting my cds were working fine until the last service. now, none of them work. why is it so?
can someone give me their CloneCD settings, so I can check if it is my burner or settings.
thanks

use cdr-win. make an iso copy of the original cd to your local hard disc. then go and buy some good media. use only taiyo yeudin or verbatim media. burn the backed up image from your hard drive to your blank cd at the lowest possible recording speed. 1x if possible. you should not have any problems using this method, if you do, its your command.
