All these MAP updates on ebay all don't have one thing

[Tony-si]

The install keycode.

Even if you did have the install keycode, it would not work - for the USB based map updates, the activation code is a 12 digit checksum hash of 2 things: the device ID of the navi unit and the VIN# of the car. Each USB stick sent out by mail is tailor-made to your vehicle.

When you order a map update for the GREEN/BROWN DISK or YELLOW/PINK USB-
the Device ID, Database Version and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) are used to identify your vehicle.

Please see instructions below for each specific system.

Note: You must order a separate map update for each vehicle you wish to update as map update disks
cannot be shared between vehicles.
