Thanks for the feedback so far and my apologies in advance but I’m struggling and need guidance.

I googled the above lists of DVD burners, which took me to navpoint.co.uk which I assume is the original source that created the list of recommend DVD burners, they also and highly recommend LiteON eTAU108, LiteON also has a tool in which I can set the book type on the burner, I’ve also set the book type in ImgBurn and I’m also using a DUAL LAYER blank DVD (Verbatim DVD+R ). The DVD burns without any issue (x3 slowest possible) but every time I insert it into the Nav, it begins to read ROM and then says "please insert car navigation DVD"

This is what I have so far.

Win 7
LiteON eTAU108
LiteON Book Type Utility 1.35
IMG Burn
Verbatim DVD+R

1. insert a DVD+R
2. set book type using tool – “DVD-ROM”
3. opened IMG burn
4. locate iso
5. set book type DVD-ROM (just to be sure)
6. burn ISO

Am I doing something wrong, do I need to rename the DVD or are there special instructions on the actual Sat Nav?

Hi a011528,


I'm afraid you have bought the wrong DVD recorder. The LiteON eTAU108 can only read DVD ROMs, not write them and I doubt any utility program can change that. Check out its specs here:-

I think that the LiteOn eTDU108 - DVD-ROM drive is the one you need but you must fully check its specification to be sure before spending any more money.

You have done everything right including using IMG burn, but are using the wrong DVD recorder. Once you find a burner that WRITES in DVD ROM, the rns-e will see the maps as well as the firmware. There is no magic formula or different combinations of buttons to press. It's as simple as getting the right burner and using IMG burn to copy the disc.

Thanks, but you have it the wrong way around, eTDU108 is the read only version, The LiteON eTAU108 is the write version

Im wondering if im setting something incorrect in IMGBurn, are you setting anything special ?

Although you are correct about the read only version, I stand by my previous post that the LiteON eTAU108 cannot write DVD ROM's, only read them. I have checked the specs on several web sites and NONE say it can burn DVD ROM's.

Forget about special or incorrect settings in IMGburn. I used IMGburn on the default settings and burnt a disc that works in the rns-e.

Your problem is the DVD recorder. Thats the only reason, no other!

@ Andya02,

Thanks for your feedback, before i give up in agony and conlcude i need to buy another DVD burner......

what about bitsetting ? would this work ?

sorry if this is a stupid question.... im trying to work out what the difference is....

@ a011528,

The iso map image is already set to book type mode. If your burner can set mode to book type, every thing is automatic.

The steps I took were:

1. Insert blank dual layer DVD
2. Start IMGburn (using default settings) and click on write image file to disk
3. Locate iso image
4. Burn disk
5. Put fully working copy of map DVD into RNS-E

There are no change of setting anywhere that can burn a DVD ROM if your burner cannot change mode to book type.

If after burning the disk and the rns-e can only see the firmware, not the maps then you have the wrong type of DVD recorder and no extra software or settings change can fix this.

Package No. 12 are unable to download, someone would be so kind as to post it again?

Sorry if this the wrong thread, but I am struggling for info.
Does anybody know if I use this install in my Seat Exeo with the factory fitted RNS-E if it will replace the start screen with Audi?
