Introduzione

Keeping your car's navigation system up-to-date is essential for ensuring that you arrive at your destination quickly and efficiently. The Mitsubishi MMCS NR-242 is a popular car navigation system that is widely used by drivers around the world. If you own one of these systems, you may want to update its map data to stay current with the latest roads, highways, and points of interest. In this guide, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to update the map data of your Mitsubishi MMCS NR-242, so you can stay on the right track no matter where you go. Whether you're planning a long road trip or just need directions to a new location, updating your MMCS NR-242 map data is a simple and important task that will help you make the most of your navigation system.

Note

Note that the new card will be paired to the head unit. It will not work in a different head unit and will no longer be readable by a computer after it was read and recognized by the unit for the first time. While it is possible to unpair the Map Card on MMCS versions W-11 and W-12, it is nearly impossible on all other versions without a special unlocking tool or erasing all data on the Card.

    • You can find the Version Number of your MMCS printed on the top right corner of the unit.

    • In this case the Version Number is W-12.

    • You can download the image file here: link

    • Press on ISO IMAGE.

    • Download the MAPCARD_####_2023-A_EU.img file containing the version number of your device in its title.

    • MMCS E-11 and E-12 are analogues of W-13.

    • The SD Card has to be a 16GB SDHC card with at least 15.718.400.000 Bytes and 30.700.000 Logic Sectors.

    • If the SD Card you have is a bit too small, but you have larger one on hand, you can also just flash to the larger one, format the smaller one to exFAT at 512 Bytes per sector and copy all the files over from the larger one. This might lead to some instability, but still works.

    • Insert the SD Card into your PC.

  4. WLMwWcVoyKjd3ell

    • Launch balenaEtcher.

    • Since we are using a standard .img-file, you can also use any other program capable of flashing image files, though this guide will only cover the process using Balena Etcher.

    • Swap the SD Card with the one already installed in the MAP-Slot.

    • Close the display by pressing the OPEN-Button again.

    • If the car accepts the SD Card it will now be permanently paired to the MMCS and no longer work with any other car or show up on a computer.

    • If the firmware on the SD Card is newer than the version already installed the Unit will ask you if you want to update. Press the Update-Button on the screen to proceed.

    • If you were already on the newest firmware version, the car will normally at most run a short update sequence after you restart the car.

    • Do not turn off the ignition while the update is running!

    • If you are switching from the Russian to the European interface or vice versa, the unit might tell you that it can’t read the Map card data. The following steps will only apply if you are encountering this problem.

    • Do not turn off the car while the update is running!

    Cant get this to work. The download takes very long time. it has gone wrong two times, and i get an error on damage image file when it is finished. the Etcher also fails while trying to flash the SD card. Is there an alternate download for the w12 file. or is there anything else i can try?

    andreas@hm-kontor.no -

    You could try the alternative method from this guide. If you can still open the corrupted ISO on your PC you can also just copy and paste the files to a 16gb SD card you formatted to exfat.

Conclusione

Make sure you keep the old SD Card as a backup, just in case anything ever happens to the new one.

Bei mir klappt es leider nicht.

Haber ein W15 Modell, habe das ISO Image auf eine Micro SD + SD Adapter geflasht.

Beim Einlegen erscheint die Meldung "Speicherkrte kann nicht gelesen werden. Überprüfen sie die Karte".

Habe bereits mit FAT32, NTFS, extFat formartiert.

Was mache ich falsch?

Da Dre -

Das ist schwer zu sagen, das Gerät kann etwas wählerisch mit Karten und USB Sticks sein... Hast du schon Mal versucht eine Karte auf exfat zu formatieren und die Dateien aus der ISO Datei zu Copy Pasten? Ansonsten könntest du auch Mal den "alten" Prozess mit Winhex ausprobieren, Winhex ist allerdings keine Freeware.

Alfred Kwak -

Danke für die schnelle Antwort.

Ich habe schon eine andere Speicherkarte probiert...auch formatiert mit extFat.

Mit Winhex bin ich leider auch gescheitert, nachdem ich die Map Datei geschrieben habe, müssen die Systemdaten geschrieben werden.

Hier kommt aber die Meldung, dass diese nicht geschrieben werden kann da Fehler auf der Speicherkarte erkannt worden sind.

Da Dre -

Hast du es mal mit einer neuen Karte von einem anderen Hersteller versucht? Nicht alle 16gb Karten sind gleich. Manche sind minimal kleiner als andere, was zu Problemen führen kann. SanDisk Karten z.B. funktionieren meistens sehr gut. SwissBit Karten sollten auch funktionieren, aber ich hab sie noch nicht im Auto getestet. Hama Karten sind zu klein, man kann sie aber auf exfat formatieren und die Dateien manuell aus der ISO Datei rüberkopieren.

Alfred Kwak -

Ich gebe auf....habe es nun noch mit einer neuen SD Karte probiert. Auch hier der beschriebene Fehler.

Hab auch probiert die ISO zu mappen und die Daten manuell auf die Speicherkarte zu kopieren.

Da Dre -

is there maps for North America ?
