Your best bet is to find LOCKED img file, unlock it yourself with gimunlock and embedd unlock code into IMG file. In everything else follow outlined steps.

The car reads the thing for 3-4 minutes before giving me the error.

753951 - I will try finding a locked image, but no idea where that will be. I really should go out and get a Garmin to get the maps, I will do that tomorrow if these last few attempts do not work. How do you embed the unlock into the IMG file? I get how to use gimunlock, I think, because I just dragged the IMG file over it and ran a command prompt for half of a second.

1. Download gmaptool.
2. As previously said, use gimunlock to unlock IMG file.
3. Use Jetmouse keygen to generate proper unlock code for your map.
4. Drop your unlocked IMG file on the gmpatool while "Files" tab is active.
5. Switch to "Write" tab.
6. Copy generated unlock code from keygen and paste it into "Insert unlock code" field in gmaptool. That will also set checkbox near "Insert unlock code". If it doesn't set it manually. I think it will also automatically set flag to remove DEMO flag. Leave it on, it's harmless if not needed.
7. Then click on "Write selected" button on the bottom, and you are done.

There are two USB jacks in the back of the radio; one for the bluetooth module and one for the external USB jack.

For what it's worth, my brand-new Charger's external USB port quit working one day. The jack's illumination went out and the port stopped working or charging. I found that there was another connector between the USB port in the center console and the cable that went up the radio. The connector's lock was broken and the connector worked loose. I re-seated it and wrapped the connector up in tape, and it's been fine since then...

I entered the ones created by the keygen and it proceeded to install the maps. However, as soon as the progress bar appeared for the installation, I got the "error on reflashing" screen and had to cancel.

So I'm not sure what to do here other than try a different USB stick or burning the files to DVD...neither of which I have readily available right now.

Has anybody experience?

Thanks Mike

Try a different USB stick, preferably ones that don't read/write so fast. I don't think the uconnect system can really process the fast ones. I had more luck with a slower stick.
