Or you can just use two and reload them while the car is uploading the other one.
Great job with this. If you have a E series, there's no need to ever pay to have your maps updated again.

I was able to pull the hex code from the glove box and then generated a key, but can't get the car to recognize the download to proceed. I used the same USB stick that successfully pulled the 1b.hex.
I uncompressed the .rar archive to my computer and it generated the following structure:
NAVD_000004D3_255_003_178\USB_DVD_01 (through 04).
You mention putting the
subfolder in the
root of the usb stick, so I copied USB_DVD_01 and put it in the root of the stick. But then putting the stick in the car and turning on the ignition didn't result in anything after 5 minutes.
I wonder if I need to extract directly onto a USB itself so it will put the volume ID on the USB stick, or maybe I should have also included the folder
NAVD_000004D3_255_003_178, instead of only moving over USB_DVD_01? For example, my USB stick in my computer is F:\USB_DVD_01, not F:\NAVD_000004D3_255_003_178\USB_DVD_01.
I'll try NAVD_000004D3_255_003_178\USB_DVD_01 first (instead of just USB_DVD_01), as that should be easy to try. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Or maybe I should skip the USB_DVD_01 folder entirely, and only put the
contents of that folder into the root directory of the USB stick, without even having any folder there at all? Maybe I'll try that one next.
Thanks!
[update: copying the contents of the "USB+DVD_01" subfolder did the trick. No "USB_DVD_01" folder, or "NAVD_000004D3_255_003_178" folder should be on the stick. I think there was a pkgdb folder, so that gets copied, but that folder will be in the root of the usb. Not "USB_DVD_0x". On stick # 2 now, looks like it's moving along. Will update if there is a problem, otherwise... instructions work!]
