07 TCH With nav & override :-) - GreenHybrid

First time poster, first time owner 07 TCH w/nav. But I am familiar with vast amount of information that can be found on news groups. After scouring the news groups for about a week I finally found the v5.1 loading.kwi file and enough information to make a hybrid nav. disc. So last night I stopped on my way home from work and bought a 5 pack of verbatim 8x DVD+R DL Double-Layer Discs with Jewel Cases. I downloaded imgburn to create a iso file. So now I’m ready, I take the DVD from the car and put it in the computer and select all the files and copy them to the hard drive. (About 40 minutes) now I copy the new v5.1 loading.kwi and replace the v6.1 loading.kwi file. With the software imgburn I build a file selecting the files on my hard drive. This will create a .iso file (About 45 minutes). Now I start roxio and select data image burn, and burn disc (About 45 minutes) I put the new DVD in the car and the map pops up this is good news, so I shut off the car and unhook the negative battery cable for at least 5 minutes. Hook the battery back up turn car on. Up on the screen pops a message software loading do not shut off and bam we now have override. Thanks to everyone who has helped figure this out on Greenhybrid.com and Toyotanation.com

You don't have to disconnect the battery cable.

You can just pull both fuses for the radio, and it will force the software reload as well. That way you keep all other information the car has learned.

I used a BenQ drive I got from CompUSA, but it is a desktop drive

I could not get my Samsung or Sony drive to work, but the sony drive was a first generation DL drive I got when the first came out (Cost me like $600 at the time, but the BenQ was less than $50.)

Now that you have that disc up and running, is it possible to make copies from it? Might be interesting to some folks.

Where did you find the file?

When I first posted my question about how to do an override I got this response. The website where it is seems to have a lot of pop ups which makes me nervous, but here it is. I haven't tried it yet.
