So the stock NAV system can play DVD's?

 

LOL do you even know what you drove off the lot?

 

Of course. You just can't play dvd's while the car is in motion without the hack.

 

Ok so i had the old .39 firmware and upgraded to the .70 or whichever is the newest and i still have the super low volume DVD bug. I think it may have something to do with the Audio Microcomputer firmware version, but i dont know how that gets upgraded? maybe the map update?

Also, im tired of waiting on a Map update, so im going to go ahead and try and buy one via paypal donations from you guys and upload it somewhere were we can all get it. Paying $200 to mitsu for a stupid map update is retarded. My Paypal is Kevinbackroom@gmail.com . If we get $20 from 10 people or something around that, we can do this. I'll keep everyone posted daily on the funds progress. I'm on a computer 24 hours a day, and not going anywhere. Just let me know whats its for in the paypal subject

 

I didn't upgrade my navi I stay with 30.99 due to bluetooth issue and volume works fine........I can hear it loud and clear at 45

 

i did the steps you said , i got a mitsubishi lancer gts 09 and i follow the steps i got on my screen saying program up in progress and that is the last thing i saw because after that i only get a black screen , after that every time i start my car i got the same message and after that nothing , i dont have radio nav bluethoot nothing , can anyone help me out :-( i dont want to expend 2000 to replace the unit

 

I think your only way out of it is to remove the hard drive from the unit, hook it up to a motherboard and manually replace the loading.kwi and alldata.kwi files with the correct versions. This link shows how to do it: http://mitsubishiforum.com/forum/mit...ck-mmcs-25583/

 

So if I downgrade from 70.04 to 30.99, should the low DVD volume issue be fixed?

 

That problem was always present I think. You just have to crank up the volume when in dvd mode.

 

As marciojersey mentioned above, the "low volume" on DVDs is normal. I'm guessing not many people have previously or regularly tried playing DVDs in the MMCS before applying the DVD-in-motion patch.

I'm also surprised no one has noticed the low DVD volume when playing the discs at home. Granted, it may be hard to notice if you are playing DVD audio through your television speakers, but if you are using a home theater system or a separate A/V receiver, you will more thank likely notice that the DVD source volume is lower than other audio sources such as video game consoles, radio, TV, etc. all connected into the same receiver especially if you are using Dolby Digital or DTS.

A little off topic, one feature that I like when playing DVDs/Blu-Rays in the PS3 is that you are able to increase the overall output volume for movies to help compensate for the low volume. Also with a home theater system you have the convenience of being able to adjust each speakers volume independently.

A friend of mine who owns an aftermarket Pioneer video player in his Subaru also has the same low volume when playing DVDs with this unit. Since the Pioneer unit does play .avi's via USB he rips DVDs to .avi using DVD Fab software and in doing so he actually increase the source volume for the .avi files to help compensate.

There are only a couple of things I can suggest for us if you wanted to increase the volume of DVDs short or ripping and re-encoding the audio of your DVD. The first one being to see if you can change the audio type for the disc you are playing. In other words, see if there is a stereo track and not a Dolby Digital or DTS track. The other option you can try is turning off Dynamic Range Compression on the MMCS. If I remember, DRC on the MMCS can be disabled by doing the following. Put in a DVD and let it start playing, touch the screen and press the on screen stop (square shape) button. Touch the screen again and look for a button that says setup (if may be something else, not positive). Once you press setup, you should see an option to set DRC to off. You'll also find other DVD settings that can only be accessed when a DVD is in the MMCS and the stop button is pressed.

While I can't guarantee these will make the audio any louder, it is worth a shot. Either way, for me, the DVD volume was always lower than the other audio sources, even before I applied the DVD-in-motion patch.

 

Hey, your right I trying playing any movies that have Dolby Digital volume stay at 20 even if it's at Max. 45 but when I play any VCD or any encoded movies volume get louder........I give you an A+++++

 

mine is a 2010, wonder if it would work??

 

install the hack for the 00007004 app version

 

Does anyone here know if the mmcs can play video files, such as mp4, avi or xvid?

 

Is that's all that's required for a map update? A disc? If so, shouldn't versions of it already be ALL over the 'net?

I could have sworn a while back I read a how-to on map updates for Mitsu. The update disc came with some sort of one use key that is inserted at the bottom of the unit...
