However, somewhat reassuringly, the PCB P/N of your 14 dump does match that of the original US/EU fw for 2584, i.e. 105-03069-00.
How can I find and confirm the PCB P/N information through Hex Tool (I.E. HexComp or UltraEdit)? I try to find the text string "105-03069" or the hexadecimal string "31 30 35 2d 30 33 30 36 39" Similar combinations all fail.
This is a curiosity I want to learn more about.

How can I use RGN_Tool to read my 2842-14.bin?
My RGN_Tool version is V0.94, it can only read .rgn and .gcd format files, it does not support .bin format files, I can only use RGN_Tool to read and extract .gcd format files I got from the official website Exporting boot.bin, or transferring to .rgn, cannot reversely interpret the final .bin format file.

My friend's JN Nav VI unit was returned, so I no longer have the actual hardware.
But the download archive I provided earlier
"Garmin-NV_Data\From_HWID-2842(BMW NAV VI V2.6)\Region Data\Region 0-99\2842-14.bin"
It should be the file you need, it's the result of a region-by-region dump from my friend's JN Nav VI device using the rrgn command in update.txt.

I've re-shared the archive I made available for download twice before, if you still need it, the URL is here

Now I have an idea, the 2842-14.bin dumped yesterday is the Ldr.bin generated by the original HWID 2842 Ver2.6 GCD file via ID 2842 and ID 4044, if I try to generate again with the HWID 2584 Ver5.8 GCD file Ldr.bin, does this work?
