Thanks for sharing, but I am gonna pass after looking at the seller.

Shaddy seller, but the new SD card is locked to my VIN, which I am using for close to 3 weeks. So far no issues.

2) This map update can only be installed/used on a single vehicle. Once installed, the SD Card becomes VIN-specific and can't be used on another vehicle

dd with the right parameters...

As i'm new to Linux, can someone advise on what the "right" parameters are?
Thanks!

 

[DrFaustus]

dd -if=/dev/<sdcard device name> -of=<name of output file>

There is no need to mount the sdcard beforehand. It can, and should, be left unmounted while you make a copy.

From the input SD card that has been VIN-locked & working in the vehicle (physically locked & UNmounted in Linux) i created an image using:

sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/temp/DEN1MY23NA.img status=progress

but, for whatever reason, the copy created output card (zero filled, then formatted FAT32, UNlocked & UNmounted) using:

sudo dd if=/temp/DEN1MY23NA.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 status=progress

created a SD card that the vehicle is rejecting as invalid.

😕
Am i missing something in my commands?

There’s some speculation (I stress that word) that the SD serial number is also a part of the locking down the card equation.

but you're PayPal account will. I called & Martha told me "PayPal does not work the same as a credit card." 💡

I explained that i understand how PayPal works and that it is not a credit card, but i guess they didn't specifically state that my PayPal account

will not be charged until the product ships...

so it's like treatment for early stage low-level cancer - "watchful waiting" 😴

That’s why I quit using PayPal to do merchant online purchases.

Funny you should post that. I went looking there yesterday. It did give me a clue on the Nav Data provider, Here Maps.

I was going to look at other ways of accessing a subscription/update. I need the USB stick option. There must be other manufacturers using the same infotainment system.

There has to be a way to get the updates, even though Holden tell me there are no updates.

I haven't asked for a price either but I'm assuming here in NZ they also wouldn't have recent maps (say 22/23) which is a shame because I love the HUD using the OEM GPS. Wish android auto worked alongside the HUD.

In the long run, though, i've never had PayPal fail to refund me for orders that went awry due to deceptive marketing, incorrect product sent, etc., so i'm most comfortable filling the uncertainty gap of on-line purchases with the support of PayPal's refund policy.

I don't like that PayPal charges my card for something that is long lead time or ends up being on back order. I had that with my RaceRamps (legit company) bought which ended up being 4 week back order. I've never had a problem with cc company transactions when dealing with legit online merchant. Private sale/ebay private seller maybe it makes sense but HERE/Navdisc is about as legitimate as it gets.

original VIN-locked working card:

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 29.72 GiB, 31914983424 bytes, 62333952 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/mmcblk0p1 8192 60637183 60628992 28.9G c W95 FAT32 (LBA)


mmcblk0
│
└─mmcblk0p1
vfat FAT32 DEN1MY23NA
2F85-5C62

copy (which i can't retest right now because my wife just left for the Shires for a couple weeks) reads the same, except for:

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 30.17 GiB, 32395755520 bytes, 63272960 sectors

because the card itself is a slightly different size

i'm not pretending to have a full grasp on all this all this, it's my 1st go @ Linux

just putting it out there...

What would you expect to happen if a valid card that has been initialized & VIN-lockrd to the vehicle is put back into the slot with the card physically switched to locked condition?
Does the system do any writing to the card for favorites, saved trip info, updates, etc. during normal use; or does it just read from the card once it's been initialized?

When I put my new SD card in with updated maps my "favorite" and "recent" locations were still in memory without adding them again.

It says in stock now. 🙂

the new #86810236 cards from HERE worked despite our Regals not showing up on the compatability list,
but i'm not sure that's still going to be the case with these # 85618592 cards though the list is similar.

Ours worked for several hours this afternoon with the card locked and no complaints from the navigation system.

Ultimately i've tried so many ways, but haven't succeeded in making a working backup copy. Trying to copy an already VIN-locked card for the same vehicle doesn't work at all for me.
What i haven't been able to try is copying an original virgin UN-VIN-locked card, because i never got into Linux until after our working # 86810236 had already been initialized for our car.
My copy of the new # 85618592 card didn't work, but i'm not sure if it's because the copy isn't accepted or the # 85618592 cards are truly incompatible with the Regals. I'm hesitant to put the original 85618592 in there and have the vehicle initialize it and reject it as incompatible, which would basically make that new card completely useless to anyone.

I'm learning Linux, though 😊

My 86810236 from eBay did not work and cost a pretty penny.
Hence I am not too sure anymore. Shouldn't have cut the corner and wasted the coin via eBay.

eBay has a really good return policy when it comes to auto parts. I bought one card that didn't work and had no problems returning it and getting a refund.
