Problem with burning RTI DVD

[cmxi]

Hi all.
Im hoping that this is the correct forum for posting this problem.

I currently run a 2003 Volvo XC90.

I have downloaded the RTI ISO from this link: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5665..._C_-_MMM_P2001

I used win rar to unrar it to the harddrive.

Im using imgburn 2.5.1.0 as the burner program, starting with opening the file: EU-1800-00C-1022.MDS and then selecting 1x burnspeed. (I have also tried 2.4x speed).

I am using Verbatim 8x DVD+R DL discs to burn on.

I have not aleterd any other settings in the burner program.

But still the car navi says that it cannot read from the disc.

My ols origional disc works just fine. (2003)

Do you have any tips of what i can try to make it work??

Thanks

//Patrick

NO gazo, you wrong ...!!!

IMPORTANT!


Even if Volvo dealer says it works with the list below.

Volvo changed mapprovider/ DVDhardware in 2005.

MY2004 and EARLIER need to change (eg. trade in) their DVD player at nearest Volvo dealer to be able to read maps from 2005/2006 and later.


Cost in Sweden app. ?170. But you have to talk to somebody who knows it och can find it.. Or else they just say e new DVD costs ?370...


Below is not a fact from Volvo but should be some what correct since MY2004 and back need new DVD hardware.

Volvo somewhen in 2002/2003 updated the Firmware, which is not included on the DVD but has to be done by the dealer. We had this issue at the Motortalk-forum.

Re: Problem with burning RTI DVD

I doubt that very much also since Volvo only introduced DVD navigation for the first time in their 2002-2003 model!
Anyway these problems have occurred over the last 7 years including owners that use the 2008 editions and later

Re: Problem with burning RTI DVD

OK.. i did not know that you have to use a specific burner. I used the dvd burner on my company laptop (fujitsu esprimo mobile).
I tried burning a rti dvd 2009, and it worked now and then...
Ill try to get hold of another burner and do another copy.

Thanks all.
Best regards

Re: Problem with burning RTI DVD

I really don't think any specific burner is required (in ImgBurn) - I didn't have any that is 'supported' nor even set Book type to DVD-ROM. I have just used any burner that recognized my media. Even Nero worked when proper ISO image is delivered. The DVD session must be closed though.

Verbatim DVD+R 2.4x DL works fine (extremely hard to find these on the market), while Verbatim DVD+R 8x DL (today's standard) does not properly work in my RTI, no matter what burn speed has been used. However some (most) people are successful with 8x Verbatim.
I also had no success with any other media at all.

Re: Problem with burning RTI DVD

That's maybe true for Poland whre all available writers are in the top of their league
In the rest of the world it does matter which DVD writer is used. That has been proven thousands of times
Some writers do not even recognize the just finished product without generating errors

Re: Problem with burning RTI DVD

I had similar problems. I burned a 2008 map for my RTi and it worked fine for several months - then failed miserably. the original 2004 map disk works fine. I think I just need to make a new DVD of the newer maps. But I'm waiting to get hold of the 2010 maps before trying again

Re: Problem with burning RTI DVD

I have burned several P2001 discs. I have never experienced any problem and I find these disc extremely easy to burn.
they work with random burners, random DVD's (but i always try to use top quality as HP and EMTEC), and in all cars including these from 2002 year.
i burn with 4x speed and DVD-rom booktype.
if you do as above, and your reader is unable to load the map, most likely you need to clear laser with cleaning cd moist with alcohol.
it usually helps, and it is recommended if the reader is located in trunk, where there is a lot of dirt .
Do not waste time and money for trying different discs and recommended burner, just clean laser, use burner which is able to change booktype and reasonable quality disc
(insted of expensive verbatim, which has random quality) and the map MUST work!

Re: Problem with burning RTI DVD

Most of the problems with the DVD unit for the P2001 system can be attributed to the cleaning disc which was part of the dvd box for a number of years
Cleaning discs with the aid of accumulated tar, dust and fine sand constitute the ideal circumstances for the perfect abrasive, leaving the user with a slichtly matted laser lens!

Most problems with Volvo P2001 DVD units occur with models 2003-2005 where the DVD unit comes withou the protective cover on the slot
These units are the worst ever produced and will almost never read any copies and quite frequently not even read originals

Never ever use a cleaning disc even if the supplier tells you it is of the "NO SCRATCH" type

Take the unit out, open the lid and clean the laser lens with a Q-tip and a drop of cleaning alcohol

Re: Problem with burning RTI DVD

I find your opinion very strange.
i have also never experienced any negative result of using clening cd's.
What is the difference between q-tip and soft brush from cleaning cd except of no need to unit dissasembly?

Re: Problem with burning RTI DVD

Brushes are not as soft as a Q-tip. You can moisten the brushes but the liquid will not hold
And cleaning discs may only be used in household equipment

But please go ahead an destoy your precious laser unit if you think to know better than the professionals in the industry
