Making a backup of a CD Rom Sat Nav disc


Recommended Posts

Making a backup for yourself is legal. If you want to use the headunit to play music it means constantly removing the satnav disc, and if it gets ruined it's not cheap to get a new one from Audi. Better to make a copy, keep the original safe in the house, and if the copy gets knackered, just burn another one.

Selling them or giving them away to other people would of course be illegal though.

Still trying to make a backup!!!!!!!!!

Do these instructions mean something to one of you?

"Maps in version 3 are copy-protected with safedisk ver 2. mechanism.

If you do not burn the copy in right way, you will get only CD IS INCOMPATIBLE

on your Sat-Nav screen.

To create working copy of version 3 map CD you will need a CD burner drive, capable

of sucesfully bypassing/burning Safedisk 2 protection.

Your success or failure depends 90% on the drive + 10% on media you use.

Basically, you should use one of 2-sheeps drivers listed on this page:

I have been sucesfull with LG GSA-4040B DVD/CD burning drive.

Open the attached CD image (about 170 MB) with CloneCD.

Used attached CloneCD profile ("SafeDisc 2.9x.ccp"). It will set all writing parameters for you.

Burn with RAW DAO mode

Burn with SLOW speed.

I did with 1 or 2x.

4x sometimes does not work.

Maximum speed does not work for sure.

Burn on quality media! - Memorex, Philips are fine.

( I lost half day, because of playing with cheap meida. Sat-Nav could not read them,

giving me "Incompatible disk" message, after 30s of "activating Sat-Nav")

If you have a 2-sheeps drive (and you really should have one) then "Amplify weak sectors"

option should be off. It is not necessary by 2 sheep drivers.

It should be possible to create working copy with 1-sheep burner too

(with Amplify weak sectors ON),

but it did not worked for me.

With old burn drivers you have no chance at all."

You sound like you've been reading "Afterdawn" forums. If not, that could be where you'd get some help. For your information, "Alcohol 120" is safedisk 2 enabled, and should walk it. Safedisk version 3 it has a little difficulty with, something like you're detailing here, but I've backed up loads of Safedisk 2 stuff.

"A-ray scanner" is a free tool for checking which copy protection is on cd's, if you can get it and "Alcohol" you should be away.

A ray will confirm the copy protection which is on the disk, and then you have to set Alcohol to ignore that particular copy protection.

Here's a screen shot from alcohol. down at the bottom where it says "Customise" is a drop down menu. Select Safedisk 2 from there, and it applies the correct parameters.
