Leave his ttgo.bif on the device, copy your content over and activate maps and speedcams.

as a follow up to what downunder has advised you to do, You can use AutoActivate to patch the maps ect after you have copied your entire content over, just copy the .exe to your root and run .

A brief explanation.
1. Maps, premium voices, speedcams etc are device specific & must be patched for the device that they are loaded on.
2. A new ttgo.bif file is created each time a device is booted. You can not edit it. Delete any of these files that are in the copy before installing it on your mates unit. ttgo.bif, ttgo.bak & ttgo.ori.

I still always recomend AutoActivate because it is the simplest of keygens to use and is great for map/voices/cams patching only operations

x20, x30 etc represent the different GO models. x20 = GO 520, 720 & 920. Setting x20 will give your unit the characteristics of a GO x20.
