RE: Infiniti Zenrin disc backup for '06

I never looked for any type of copy protection before I tried any of this.

I needed a dual layer burner as the OEM disc is one. I got a LiteOn burner from New Egg for only $35 and change. I went to the LiteOn page and d/l a small program that let me change the 'book type' to DVD-ROM (this is essential in this case) it's what the reader in the car is looking for.

Then I was told to " only use Verbatim discs they are all that will work" so I blew $20 and got 3 of them.

I then used CloneCd to make the image of the disc, even though it's called CloneCD it will do DVD'S too. I then burned the image onto a Verbatim disc and put it in the car. It did work, but the access time was so slow that it was unusable. I then changed media brand to Memorex and repeated the whole thing.

This time the access/read time of the dupe was fine, it worked like the OEM one. I wanted a backup because Infiniti lets 12vdc go to the EJECT button on the DVD unit all the time! So if someone smashes your window they can steal your DVD just by pushing the button!

I do know there are others that have used the Verbatim media and it worked fine for them. I even gave the disc I made to friend with an '06 and it worked for him and access time was fine, go figure!

Hope that helps,

Tinsby
