Car not accepted means its not registered, phone reagal and explain it needs registered and it should work fine after that.

well heres hopin mine will be ok, i have it on a friends comp with XP so will try mine once im home and if it dont work ill do it on his,

when i do it on VISTA everything seems to work ok all loads in and connection etc just when i start to load up maps its ''car not accepted'' but hopefully once its registered ill have no probs,

[b16bazza]

well just had karen on the phone, said my car is now registered so be home from work early tonight to give it a bash, hopefully ive sussed the vista problem and got it working,
fingers crossed for myself,

Why not buy a copy of XP for your laptop and install it?

[b16bazza]

no looks like its not working, tried installing xp on my vista laptop and having major problems, i have my computer friend looking at it right now so hopefully ill have laptop back with xp up n running, been a total nightmare since i got my unit on monday.
i just hope that because i have loaded it on a few comps it will still work ok?
can anyone tell me if this will be ok as its on 3 computers now but my friends are all away so cant use there ones.

I dnt think it maters what comps u put it on as it registard 2 ur car. Dnt quote me on it but thats what i presume.
Tink id rather get a new laptop than bother down gradin 1!

[Brian_F]

Dont worry mate it will be fine mine on a few comps aswell its only the unit thats tied to one car so to speak. Got ma map on the car now so all is good and its amazing the power diff

[reunionvxr]

try to go slowly when the soft recognize your HW_ID, VIN etc...
wait about 10s to go to the next step.

if i go quickly to the next step, i have the same problem. I think it's because my connection is not good on FTP server.

[b16bazza]

well come home tonight and tried the edf, all worked ok so the map is on, just way to go get petrol and c how it runs
