I thought this was already tested and didn't work as well? I would be happy to try this if there's a downloadable image for V5.0 32GB cards which doesn't take ages to download. For my card, unfortunately it is already attached to the car.

Let me clarify, it has to be the original card with its own image:

-Obtain a new original unused card - lets call it CardA
-make a raw clone of CardA before it is used
-use original card, CardA and mate it with the car
-take original card - used at this point and copy over the raw clone image back to CardA
-use in another vehicle.

the clone will contain the locked(encrypted) files to the CID of CardA. All you are doing really is restoring the card back to its original state. In its original state, it should work, as the CID is not affected by the card being wiped and image restored.

*You cannot use someone elses raw clone and put it on your used card, as the CID won't match - that would be the same as copying it onto any other sd card.
