Advent Oem-style Navigation Installed!

aesalazar · October 31, 2011

check the version of your nav first. this is straight from NavMate's website:

1. Check application version

Please make sure you have the correct software version on your system: OE

a) Power on system.

b) Press NAV button.

c) Click "Press to accept".

d) Select: Menu - Setup (fifth icon at the bottom softkey bar) – Page Down icon - System (bottom of the list) – System Information.

e) Check application version.

if it says v5.2.11 then no update is needed

if it says v5.2.00, then this is the update you need:

if it says v.5.0.34, v.5.0.43, or v.5.0.46, then this is the update you need:

to get map updates, go here, but there is not an update yet for the OGM1

Texas, did you try any of these? Thats pretty cool if we can do that independent of Advent.

Thanks

It looks like there is a update on Advents site.

Not the update i was looking for. I was looking forward for other bugs to be fixed.

I have the NAVMATE 5.2.00 version installed, so the 5.2.11 update is what I need. Problem is that the download quits before it's finished downloading every time. I've tried the download at two other locations with fast, cable internet and they all quit the download before the download is complete. It looks like Horizon Nav's ftp server is timing out for some reason. I have emailed them asking about the problem, but they have not responded. The 5.2.00 version of NAVMATE has some problems and hangs the radio more often than I'd like, so the update is important to me.

i'll have to try it later when i get home. this is just a software update, not a map update. so these are free.

But will this update the Nav app to 5.2.11?

have you tried out steering wheel controls with XM radio on? i'm wondering if they changed it to select presets instead of channel up/down

Would someone try to download the Horizon NAVMATE update from the link below? You should get a 362 MB file that can be unzipped. It doesn't work for me and I don't think it will work for others. Horizon Navigation isn't responsive to email inquiries about the FTP site. I'd like to have this update but it doesn't appear to be available due to problems on their site.

Anxious for a reply!

Ok I have tried three ways from sideways... I can get the download complete but the file is empty. You will have to contact Horizon ask them to email you the download. If they do that I`ll put it up on a site so we can all get it.

Worked fine for me.

I threw them up on mediafire but had to break it up into two zips in order to not go over the 200mb limit with my free account:

http://www.mediafire.com/?1m929raz2z5pskt

http://www.mediafire.com/?nu3qezgejm66eqn

You will need winzip to put them back together. Just open the .zip file and extract. This is the upgrade from 5.2.00.

Thanks! That's what I needed. I downloaded the two files from the mediafire site, unzipped them and updated the NAVMATE to 5.2.11 per their instructions. I owe you one!

Walt, just wondering how the Camera-Source back-up cam install went for you? Curious as to what you thought, as I'm looking to add one to my Christmas wish list for the wifey...lol

It's good stuff! We're going to add them to our product list and definitely will do a package for those that need both navi and camera.

For what it does at the price, there's nothing wrong with these at all, and Chris is a great guy to work with - HIGHLY recommended...
