Has anyone had any luck in updating their MyGig radio with the 2057 Gracenotes? I downloaded them from MyGig Info site, then burned the folder & file to a DVD. The first DVD I named GN_2057_US, that didn't work so I tried another one named GN_2057. That one didn't work either, the display just reads the disk as "Data" but doesn't do anything with it.

Is there some step or trick I'm missing?

 

Unzip the files to your Hard drive and burn them to a DVD data disc:

When you burn the DVD it is recommended that you burn at 2x or 4x speed and make sure that multisession recording (The Add More Files Later Option)is disabled. DVD+R, DVD-R, or Dual Layer DVDs are acceptable.

1. For Version 2064 (US/CA/MX) - Name the CD to GN_2064 when burning it. (Recommended)
1. For Version 2059 (EU/Rest) - Name the CD to GN_2059 when burning it. (Recommended)
1. For Version 2057 (US/CA/MX) - Name the CD to GN_2057 when burning it. (Recommended)
1. For Version 1289 (EU/Rest) - Name the CD to GN_1289 when burning it. (Recommended)
1. For Version 1287 (US/CA/MX) - Name the CD to GN_1287 when burning it. (Recommended)
1. For Version 1120 (US/CA/MX) - Name the CD to GN_1120 when burning it. (Recommended)
1. For Version 881 (US/CA/MX) - Name the CD to GN881 when burning it. (Recommended)
1. For Version 882 (EU) - Name the CD to GracenoteECE882 when burning it. (Recommended)
1. For Version 883 (Rest) - Name the CD to GN883 when burning it. (Recommended)

2. The DVD Root directory MUST contain only one (1) folder and one (1) file.. The root DVD directory structure is as follows:

GNDB (Folder)
gnupdate (File)

Start your car (Recommended), Load the DVD in your MyGIG radio and the update will automatically start once the disc is recognized.

The Update will take around 30 minutes.

 

Mine works....but then I used and actual cd. Seems hard but I did the last one myself it works if you burn it slow.
Wow they really started a money pit with these radios..to keep Sirius and the whole deal is expensive. 3 Cars with sat...Full price on one, and a crappy deal on the other two this time around. I got a great deal before Now they want a fortune to make up for it??

 

guys,
what r these updates for ?..

is this so that the DVD can play
movies while vehicle in motion?...

 

gracenotes software analyzes the cd you place into the head unit in order to give you the artist and track info. download free updates here (if this is important to you):

updates are needed b/c several hundred new cds are released every week.

 

Did the update improve the program's format any,or is the update just for new music info.

 

I just finished updating the gracenotes on my radio and didn't have any problems, when you first put the disk in it should say on the screen "Data" and then it took about a minute or two and then it started transferring the files. It took a total of 15 minutes to complete the update.
Did you give it a little time to start the transfer?
