topradio Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Tried again 3 times this morning, still getting error 1011. Just before it comes up with that screen the display briefly has a message at the bottom that says media not playable, but I assume that is just because it's not a music CD. The seller sent me 3 files, the first two were 21.5KB whereas the last one is 64.6K. How big was the file that worked for you @boxtastic? How are you getting on @Mushroom3?

Mushroom3 Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Still no luck. 1st file I was sent was 44kb, the second 22. I have no idea what significance that might have. I did not have the engine running though. It was on my Ctek. I'm off to try it with the engine running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushroom3 Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Tried again with engine running - still no luck. I have discovered that a .sh file can be read by Notebook ++. I also understand it's a Linux type file so most of it is gobbledygook, but the last line shows your VIN number. That is correct at least in the 2 files I was sent.

Richard Hamilton Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Good to hear boxtastic had success, but it is absolutely beyond me why you would have to lock the car for an hour or more, or run the engine running during the update. The only difference between the navi-expert update process and the Porsche process is the entry of the activation code. Having said that, I always connect a 10A charger when updating the maps. I think it is possible that if the battery voltage is below a certain figure, it might not start the update. Perhaps try connecting a heavier duty charger, rather than a conditioner.

As you say, it is because it isn't in a playable music format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topradio Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 I was pretty sure that was the case Richard. I haven't been trying with the engine running but I do have a proper charger connected. If it is a supply voltage problem that could explain why it worked for @boxtastic with the engine running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxtastic Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Sorry guys....been out... I'm sure the first one was 22kb - but it never changed to "activated" The second one also shows 22kb (as I still have a pre-activated copy on my PC) Bizarrely, the post "activated" the copy on my m/s now reads 49bytes when holding the cursor over the filename; but says the file is 1KB in the window display column.

boxtastic Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 I did take a few photos along the way... (soz - no idea how to upload them). So after the 3 hour wait; first attempt threw the "1040" error "Write protection activated" Second attempt; I got a screen titled "Loading update..." with a 0% to 100% bar. Title switched to "Restarting system..." again with a 0-100 bar. Then it went to radio mode (normal radio screen & it was playing last selected channel); whist at the same time "medium not playable" message appeared at the bottom. I remember leaving it like that for a while - and then a new screen "Update of navigation database"with " Disc 0 of 0" and 0-100 bar; followed straight away by "Disc 1 of 4" and off it went.....asking for the next disc each time. It may have flashed back to the radio again at the end / can't quite remember.... but it does finish with "Navigation database successfully updated to version 6.5.1" with a "Confirm" button to press.

Paul P Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Interested in seeing the .sh file you mentioned. Might be something to learn from in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topradio Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 The seller has emailed over a fourth file and I have plugged it into my PCM. Just have to wait an hour now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mushroom3 Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Exactly as Topradio - received a new file today and disc 1 is loading as I type. Without the engine running - just a Ctek plugged in. Fingers crossed. I must agree with others, the seller Lukas has been very helpful and pro active throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see from my screenshot above that the PCM shows full upload history - so an OPC will be able to see (if they look). As to what effect that has on your warranty, is anyone's guess!

topradio Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Success! Lukas (navi-expert-uk) really did persevere and got there in the end. His communications are faultless & I can highly recommend him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topradio Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 @Ninja02 not under warranty. I don't bother with extending the OPC cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the risk would be that if the pcm fails and they question the update you could have issues. However, if it's broken it's probably more likely that the OPC goes ahead and orders a new unit.

Araf Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Looks like he's currently out of stock. Mine's PCM 3.0 so I doubt it would work, unless you know different, @Richard Hamilton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
