Put TomTom Current Configuration {13.11.2011} on the 500 card. Run it & post the results here.

No, I wanted to see what was on the 500 card, so I could give you correct directions to use the 500 setup in the 300.

1. The 7.903 navcore has not been patched.
2. United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland_915_5106 is the correct & usable map for both the 300 & 500.

How do I patch the navcore 7. 903. I downloaded the files from here and did the activation all 3 steps but says no map. What I'm doing wrong,
Can I put v8,or version 9navcore onto it. If yes which one. But first want the current maps to work with the 300,can you please guide me simple steps which I'm missing
Thanks

1. See point 4.
2. What files did you download from here?
3. Downunder's [color=red]Navcore 9.510[/color] version has been modded for the older 32MB units.
4.The steps are always the same. Load a navcore + a map + a copy of the device's ttgo.bif file & FastActivate Latest Update onto a SD card. Run FastActivate options 2 & 3 to patch the navcore & map. DONE!!

Maps, from here and the activation thing as didn't wanted to put a different non ccompatible navcore.
So you saying I will download down under 9.150 and the maps will be same which I have put on the device, want to put UK first and later Europe .
Will post when home.
How to copy device to go.bif file will it be on the sd card howbig is it
Thanks

How about you do a quick reading in our tutorials first?
My installers come with instructions and for the maps it does not matter as long as they have a meta code posted.

Well have been doing all night and was sick around 4.00 am. So all blocked at that time. Will give it a try and past the results here.
Thanks
