iveco hiway built in sat nav issues

hi, know this cheeky but wondering if you can help, my firm just purchased above truck but without the sd card for nav, i googled and got from ebay iGo Primo 2.4 wince trucks latest maps version on 8gb sd card. When put into sd slot it plays as media 105 tracks, including speed camera signs etc, but won't recognise sd card in when choose sat nav option. it stays greyed out and says insert an sd card.
do you have any ideas what i could have done wrong ?

The satnav demands a certain program (could be IGO/Primo or something else). Assuming it's asking for IGO/Primo (WinCE and not Android) and the program is read from SDcard, the path to the program is wrong. Either go into settings and search for the setting that indicates the location (you can read the manual for this) or you could "play" with a copy (!!!) of the SDcard giving different names to the program folder and program. Often the folder should be called Mobilenavigator and the program itself Mobilenavigator.exe. Or it could be something else.

Thanks for this, the menu on the inbuilt system sees locked down as no options found to put a sd path in, and all there docs say must be iveco original card but wondering if your correct re name change as I've got it set to primo\igo.exe as default so can only play unless someone with a genuine card is willing to tell me the path ?

changing directory name - picked up sd card now, but after an hour still sat reading it, could it be the exe file shouldn't change name ? I did both

Rename the folder Save to OldSave and
if you have a sys.txt rename it in old_sys.txt
Start again and look if you get a GPS fix (First time can take up to half hour)

Sorry misunderstanding driver trying unit, actually changing dictionaries made it say can't find sd and just stayed like that an hour, when directory is primo and igo.exe then inbuilt unit picks up ad but plays it as a music sd all 100+'tracks. I'm wondering if this unit is locked to iveco sd cards somehow. I can see it's running win ce 6 and Igo primo and it's windows based maps I've purchased. Any ideas or do we think it's got to be locked to iveco only. They want £300 for branded maps

Does your computer read the new SD card when you plug it to USB? What name did you change the folder and the .exe to? Did you try doing a Google search for the manufacturer of your device? Maybe you could contact them.

Hi chas, yes my laptop reads the card and the satnav does as a media card, we found that the truck is running igo primo win ce edition so that's the maps sd I got. Tried as default priori/igo.exe and that's when it reads as sd, tried changing to mobilenavigor but when set as that never picks up card which lead me to believe path was correct but can't understand why it thinks it's a music sd?

Is it possible that you have two SD card slots? One for media and one for navigation. Also, I think the .exe is called primo.exe or primo2.exe and not igo.exe. Did you try to contact the manufacturer?

Hi, thank you for that advice, have changed igo.exe to primo.exe and will try tomorrow, manufacturer is iveco as built in unit, running the primo system, they only want to sell there card at 300quid. Only one sd slot and watched iveco video of them putting nav sd into it when you buy there sd maps.

Unit still only picks up as media, could the unit be locked to read only original cards, does anyone know if that's possible I thought an sd card was a dumb device as such, that if got path/exe right it would work ?

Why don't you write to iveco and explain your problem. Maybe if you get the right person there he will help you and without cost since it's not your truck. Incidentally, shouldn't your company make the inquiry since it's their truck?
