Thread: Kenwood DNX4230DAB missing SD card

No as yet I haven't purchased the update, I get the option (I assume) to download the current map version

But it always 'fails to install update' tried multiple PC's and laptops, several SD cards a 4GB, an 8GB and two 32Gb all fat32.
Tried Windows 10 x64, Windows 7 x32 and x64 all professional versions not home.

Only thing I haven't tried is to do the update from a MAC as I don't know anyone that has one.

When using GE to do the update, do you know if anything else would be downloaded and written to the SC card, that is missing when I do it manually?

I've been following this thread

Although not exactly the same head unit, I think the process is very similar but mine uses and SD card.

I've followed it several times, each with the same effect, that is when I get to this point

Once all this is done, eject the USB drive from your computer and go connect the USB stick to the USB cable on you Kenwood unit.
Place the unit in Standby mode
Open Navigation
Go to Settings
Press Update Map
Press OK to continue
When it's done uploading (~10-15 minutes), remove the USB stick, power down the unit and restart it. Go back into navigation, settings, map, about. It should show the new 2014.30 map.

On my unit, when I press 'update map', all that happens is that the message about updating pops up, then it asks for an sd card to write the garmindevice.xml file to again, it is as if it is ignoring the sdcard contents.
