First tell us wich navcore your Carminat has.

0) Put a new sd-card in your Radio/Carminat and let create the folder "loopdir"

1) Extract "NC_8842_Full_Complete_Install_yDGpatch.zip" and copy folders and files to your sd-card.
Download
[Please Register or Login to download file]

2) Make a "ttgo.bif" file. Copie this file to the root SD Card
Create a text file with notepad called ttgo.bif (NOT ttgo.bif.txt) in the root directory of your sd card
and inside put these lines:
DeviceName=Carminat TomTom
DeviceUniqueID=XXXXXXXXXX (Your Unique Device ID with no spaces)
ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=8842 (Your Current navcore version, this is the latest official)
--
How to get your device ID
Open Tom-Tom Home with your old set up engaged, and take note of your Device ID
Help > System Information > Device Code > XXXXXXXXXX
--
Example
DeviceName=Carminat TomTom
DeviceUniqueID=AKTPZBAFQ2
ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=8842

3) Use map Europe_Zone_West 1010_8897
[Please Register or Login to download file]
Unpack it and Copy the new map to your SD card in its own folder.
When you open the map you see the individual files.
Not a map in a map.
4) Download FastAktivate, unpack (Temporarily set your virus scanner off)
viewtopic.php?f=127&t=19452
Copy "FastActivate.exe" to your SD Card root.
Run "FastActivate.exe".
   Select 2.

Done

Virusscanner on again.

Thanks so much!

Download and unpack
[Please Register or Login to download file]

DeviceUniqueID

Hello,
I have a Carminat TomTom Live.
I downloaded the map France 1010.8897 and installed it.
Fastactivate tells me that everything is ok but my GPS tells me that the card can not work on this device.
What to do?
Thank you for your attention

No there is no solution on a Live Carminat you can only buy a map.

Thanks for your reply
