How to update map files on 2din HU - ebay and others? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hello,
I have a question on the different radio units (head units) people have been getting from place like ebay.com, dhgate.com and others.

More specifically, how do you update the maps that come with them? I was looking at the most recent HU that was gotten by some of the members in this board, (post title is - Double Din Touch Screen DVD/Navigation/iPod System (eBay Edition)) and wanted to know how to update the map software, in it, I was looking at IGO8 for the software to use?

Which version does that HU unit come with?, and how do you update the map software. The IGO site is not very helpful in this matter.

Is it as simple as getting a new copy of the software and telling the HU to use the new maps?

I have been reading and reading and it looks like you just put the software on the card and tell the unit where the .exe is located.

The GPS is ran off a simple SD Card.

just pop it out of the unit

and find an update for it (which is the actual "challenging" part)

lots of Forums and quick Google Searching contain updates to the different GPSs

then all you would have to do is drag and drop the update files onto the SD card and your good to go.
