Go to your computer and create a backup copy of all data from the memory of the navigator. This must be done so that, in case of unforeseen circumstances, you always have at least an initial version of information at hand, which is best kept in a place where it will be difficult to accidentally delete it.

You need to find out the current version of the previously installed map. To do this, go to the "menu" of your navigator called "Tools", then "Settings" and "Map". Then you get to the item "About the card", where it is indicated which card you have installed. Then search the Internet for the same version, only more recent. Pay attention to the special FID code that goes with each type of card and will be needed for the next step.

After that, to update the maps in the navigator, re-enter the "Instrument Settings", where there is the "System" item, then the "About the device" item, where the ten-digit identification number of the navigator itself should be indicated. This numeric code in the form XXXXXXXXXX must also be saved.

Next, you need a program - a code generator (keygen). If you don't already have it, you can just as easily find it on the Internet. Run the keygen_v1.5 file and enter your ten-digit code obtained earlier in the “Enter your Unit Id” column. Then select from the menu the name of your navigator's company, the type of card, and enter the four-digit FID of the existing card. Click on the "Generate" (or "Create") button below under the inscription "Your Map unlock code", and the program will generate a unique code for you. Save the resulting code in any file with the sum extension. Please note that the file with the generated code should be named the same as the card, by the system name, and should differ only in the extension.

Tom Tom: navigation and maps, how to update the system?

Basic data

After that, be sure to make a backup copy of data and materials from the card, since in case of errors in further actions, they may be required to restore what was originally.

Now open this memory card in the standard way - through My Computer, and delete all currently existing data on the memory card from it.

1 You do not need to install a new firmware or activate it - you can simply put new files on the card, and it will start in the device;

2 You still have to install a new firmware and reactivate it (that is, do the same as with a new card);

3 You will have to install a new firmware, but it does not require activation;

4 You will need to activate the firmware, even if you have not updated it (unlikely).

Thus, this is a rather complex and unpredictable process, therefore it is recommended to try to use a new card in order not to delete data from the media that is working properly in the system.
