Once it was done though, it reported it was unable to unlock the map and the unit was left with no map to view. Once I replaced the image file with the unlocked 2014.30 map, it loaded and displayed fine on both units, using the same .gma and .unl files from my unit.

Perhaps a .gma and .unl file can be created with random identifier info, if someone care to try that and report.
You were able to load the map on your wifes head unit using the unl and gma file that was created for your own head unit? I might be willing to try if that is the case, I am worried about bricking the unit if the gma and unl are specific to your head unit. I have all the files, but would feel more confident that I will not brick it if you were able to use those files on a different head unit.

Thanks.
