I'm not sure why you still keep quoting me.
I will write this for the last time, and I don't take any responsibility if you break your Command unit.
1.) If you update Firmware you HAVE to update maps, or you won't be able to use your Command unit for anything.
2.) To update your maps you HAVE to have IDE to usb cable. ( BUY at local COMPUTER or Eletronics store CHEAP ~5-7 EUR)
View attachment 2757548
3.) To update maps you have to REMOVE the NTG 2.5 Unit from your car ( torx bits, and panel removal tool- dont be less smart and use a screwdriver you will scratch the trim.)
STEP TO UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE
1.) FIND THE HW ZGS version of your NTG 2.5 unit ( Secret menu, or by removing the device from the car)
Example: 1698700594004
2.) Go to this link
CLICK ON ME
3.) In that text document search for your HW ZGS ( the last 3 numbers are excluded)
Example:
2038700594
Search falls down into this line line of text:

4.) Open Firmware zip that you downloaded, and find file called CD_INFO.cdi and open it via notepad or any app that you prefer.
Mine looks like this

CD-NAME 1718274559-0002;

NOW you have to edit this to suit your HEADUNIT.
1.) edit line 5
[2038700594-XXX]; -> [
1698700594-XXX]; ( DO NOT write use copy paste method from the step 3.)
NEXT:
EDIT if needed lines 8,10,12,14
BY comparing to the Step 3

In my case they are the same to the found ones in step 3.

SAVE THE file.
STEP 5.)
OPEN FILE
CONFIG.CDI ( use notepad or any app that you prefer )
It looks like this
[CD-CONFIG];
CD-NAME 1718274559-0002;
[DOFLASH];
# Hardware from Harman/Becker
[2038700594-XXX] 0019025300-001;

[2038700594-XXX] 0019025100-001;
[2038700594-XXX] 0019025600-001;
Again EDIT the model number to yours. It should in my example look like this
[
1698700594-XXX] 0019025300-001;
[
1698700594-XXX] 0019025900-001;
[
1698700594-XXX] 0019025100-001;
[
1698700594-XXX] 0019025600-001;
SAVE THE FILE
STEP 6. FORMAT YOU SD CAD, and load the files on to it. And enter secret menu and update the firmware.
AFTER YOU FINISHED, remove NTG 2.5. Look around on it you will find the HDD.
View attachment 2757541
Remove the screws, and
carefully lift it up. DO NOT FORCE IT YOU WILL BREAK THE BOARD
View attachment 2757542
Unbolt the HDD and connect it to YOUR IDE TO USB CABLE
View attachment 2757543
MAKE A FULL BACKUP FIRST and then put new maps
View attachment 2757544
V14 MAPS ( quite old now):
V14MAPS
FIRMWARE double check to compare since my directory wasn't ZIPPED:
FIRMWARE
PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME IF I HAVE MAPS OR FIRMWARE FILES- I DO NOT HAVE THEM.
I HAVE SOLD MY CAR IN 2020. - Meaning I have stopped looking for MAP updates as I do not need them and I do not do this for money or anything so having files doesn't mean anything to me.
DISCLAMER: Your FADER won't work- You will have to Use Xentry or Vediamo or DTS Monaco to code it ON
If you have XENTRY or VEDIAMO or MONACO you can flash firmware using them.
double check the config files and use COPY PASTE so you don't have any wrong numbers
I wish you all good luck
