Opps - hos stupid of me. I am still running off of 8.1 - sorry for the confusion but I would think the same process will work for 9.1 too. --Mickey
Fortunately, my Nav system has my home in the wrong location, so I pointed it to a different house number at the corner where my place is actually located. So if My Prius gets stolen, my neighbor may have an interesting surprise.
I made a few backup copies of my 9.1 Nav DVD as well, you need to use DVD+R DL (Dual Layer) DVD's (8.5GB capacity), just used "ImgBurn" to generate the ISO of the original, and then used it to make the copies. I have tested them in the Navigation system, and they run just fine, there is no copy protection. You can also read the files on a windows system, but who knows what format the data is in. If we knew that, we could make our own changes to it If anyone needs a "backup" PM me
Ok, I have created a downloadable torrent of the DVD, here is the link: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5316674 You need a Torrent client, such as utorrent: Download - Torrent - a (very) tiny BitTorrent client I would use the 2.0 Beta client, I had no luck with the released version. once enough people download this, it will get "seeded", and will be available easily. You then burn the "464210-1420.MDS" file with "ImgBurn", there are 3 files total, the one listed, 464210-1420.ISO, and "info.txt" which just has the verbage on the DVD as a text file so you can label it. ImgBurn: The Official ImgBurn Website I hope no one minds, but I thoght this could help out a few people here the files are 6.99GB to download, that can easily take 16-20 hours or longer with a bitorrent client, especially before it is seeded well.

Thank you so much for doing this Mitch! But I think there is a problem with your link... just takes me to eBay. The link wouldn't post right for me either... some kind of protection, I guess.
My guess: Priuschat doesn't allow bittorrent links, I edited it and updated it, but you are right, the link does take you to ebay... just copy the text of the link, I think that will work fine, or if you search utorent, you will also find the link... Mitch
The one we need is 86271-53024. I think. There is only one torrent out there for this but no one is seeding it. Plus I have not heard of anyone actually running a copy of 9.1 in a 2006-2009 Prius yet. Hopefully we will have better luck with the 9.1 than we did with the 7.1-8.1 discs.
probably not, they are different navigation systems, the Gen 6 was updated for the 2010 Prius... The Data would work, but the "code update" likely will not. If you can edit/mix match, you can make a "franken" DVD, with the code from your Gen 5, and use the data from the Gen 6... Mitch
I have re-opened my seed for P1rateb@y if anyone is interested. I do have a challenge though. I burned the DVD, Dual-layer with Nero. I have compared the files on the 7.1 ver to the 9.1 ver and they are the same with the exception of date stamps, but when I try to use, the disc is not readable. Is there a 'special' way to burn? MDS is the corresponding catalog file, will the MDS work with Nero or do I need a differnet burning program? any help would be appreciated.
I would suggest "ImgBurn", and yes, you need DualLayer DVDs, and you burn the .MDS file which gives it the Layer 0/1 info. However, keep in mind this ISO is for the 2010 Prius, which is a Gen6 Navigation system The Official ImgBurn Website Mitch
I have the 9.1 Gen5, I think this is the update for te 2008. How do I tell Imgburn to use the mds file or does it know if it is in the folder?
Maybe I am missing the process. I have two files, 7.7Gb Nav Gen5 9_1.iso that is a RAR file and a 9kb MDS file. I un-rarred the file and ended up with 5 folders and 20ish files. I have been burning/copying the files to the dvd. Should I be creating an ISO DVD? sorry, new to this.
Is the 9.1 your seeding the correct one for the 2006-2009 Prius? Did you rip it yourself? Whats the model number on the disk? Should be 86271-53024 if I have the right number. Back on the 6.1 disk all you had to do to make sure it worked is to burn to a DVD+R DL and make sure your DVD burner changed the book type to DVD-R. Whats the name of your seed? All I see is one for the 2010 Prius. The Lexus one is still there but no one seeding it.
The one I seeded is for the 2010 Prius, Gen6, and it is 9.1 If you search this thread for my posts their is a link and name for the seed, again, it was for the 2010 Prius, not for anything else. MItch
