OK - here we go!
The car is a Volvo 05 model running navteq DVD map disk.
I own and have copied the 0450 disk using DVDDecrypter ISO mode to a DVD+R DL twice (one as booktype DVD+R one as DVD-ROM) both work fine.

I also have access to Map Disk images
The only one which works is an 0548 image this is burnt to a DVD-R DL disk this upgraded the Volvo Firmware from 869 to 1001. This disk is one of a set of three and is not the UK disk. The firmware upgrade has not enabled TMC - I suspect there is more firmware upgrades added by the UK disk to do this. I do not know the firmware version for a system with the current UK disk - anyone running 0548 UK disk care to check their volvo sat nav for the firmware version number? I'd like to know what it is please!

I think the disk images which do not work are 0520 images but this is not documented and as they do not work I cannot really say. These are the only images I have had a problem with and were the ones I started with, I learnt a lot from them not working and trying to get round it (5 DL coasters and counting). I am not saying you cannot backup 0520 disks just the images I have are not valid!!!
If you want more info pm me (if this site has this feature) I am trying to be as general as possible - my first detailed post was edited (rightly so!) by philamber - I want to help but have to be careful about breaching site warez rules.

One thing I can add is the disk sems to be accepted by the reader a bit quicker if it is DVD-ROM booktype! But this is only a matter of seconds, neither here nor there really
