In the root directory. The card copied recognize but can not unlock maps

Hi
few things should be clear:
uploaded.net is very fast. You can buy access for one day for about 50 cents.
Password is piotrscs
It is copy of NEW never used SD card with new maps. It is normal that it wont be working with another SD (another CID: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]).
But *.unl files are similar like in older Garmin devices: you can use file with locked maps by generate *.unl file. To generate unl file for older devices we need System ID and Map ID. System ID you can read from Mercedes-Benz radio unit. But I don't know how to read MapID from map file. And don't know if old generator will work for those maps.

I did some investigation regarding the MapID.

if you look at the folder structure under the NDS folder there are some .NDS files.
These are SQLite Database files. Looking at them using a DB browser might be helpful.

In root.nds there is a table called 'productDbTable'.

The field 'DataModelVersion' could be the MapID, in my Europe 2014 (2.3) map version it is 6095.




Maybe some could try to generate .unl files using that ID.

Thats great news!

Can you enlighten us in how you found it?

I'm just starting to learn how about all this stuff but would be interested in understanding it.

That could mean we would be able to generate *.unl files for any given CID. Still leaves us with the *.GMA piece I blieve.

and the directory structure is:
root folder:

Garmin folder

It looks like EU maps. Does anyone have the North America maps?

thanks

What brings you the American maps? First need the sd card for the vehicle will be unlocked

have been a few days on leave
has anyone unlock the maps
@Stefan this is a useful
is there also an download which earns no money

I have uploaded a raw dump of my unused SD card to MEGA.
Please keep in mind that at the moment there is no point of just downloading the image as we can not unlock for another SD Card (assumed CID lock).

Please contact me for the link if you are interested to research.
