Mitsubishi MMCS NR-242 Map Data Card Update (WinHex Image, European and Russain locale)

Keeping your car's navigation system up-to-date is essential for ensuring that you arrive at your destination quickly and efficiently. The Mitsubishi MMCS NR-242 is a popular car navigation system that is widely used by drivers around the world. If you own one of these systems, you may want to update its map data to stay current with the latest roads, highways, and points of interest. In this guide, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to update the map data of your Mitsubishi MMCS NR-242, so you can stay on the right track no matter where you go. Whether you're planning a long road trip or just need directions to a new location, updating your MMCS NR-242 map data is a simple and important task that will help you make the most of your navigation system.

Note

Note that the new card will be paired to the head unit. It will not work in a different head unit and will no longer be readable by a computer after it was read and recognized by the unit for the first time. While it is possible to unpair the Map Card on MMCS versions W-11 and W-12, it is nearly impossible on all other versions without a special unlocking tool or erasing all data on the Card.

Insert the SD Card

  • The SD Card has to be a 16GB SDHC card with at least 15.718.400.000 Bytes and 30.700.000 Logic Sectors.
  • If the SD Card you have is a bit too small, but you have larger one on hand, you can also just flash to the larger one, format the smaller one to exFAT at 512 Bytes per sector and copy all the files over from the larger one. This might lead to some instability, but still works.
  • Insert the SD Card into your PC.
5

Launch WinHex

  • Launch WinHex as Administrator.
  • Right click on ''winhex.exe'' and choose ''***Run as Administrator***''.

Write the Map Data

  • In WinHex, choose ''***File***'' > ''***Restore Image***''.
  • Choose the ''***MAP_20##A_##.whx***'' file you downloaded in Step 3.
  • Choose the Physical Storage Volume (SD Card) you want to flash.
  • Make sure that you are flashing to the correct Physical Volume! Flashing to your hard drive will break your operating system!
  • Confirm by pressing ''***OK***''.
  • This might take a while depending on the speed of the SD card you selected.

Write the System Files

  • Repeat the previous step with the ''***SYS_EU_###.whx***'' file for the System area.
  • Close WinHex.
  • Safely eject the SD Card.

Check the SD Card

  • Reconnect the SD Card to your PC and check the files on it.
  • If the file names are a garbled mess, as shown in the second image, you need to reformat and reflash the SD Card. Closing WinHex, ejecting and reconnecting the SD Card between steps 5 and 6 might help. In some cases it might also help to format the SD Card to NFTS before flashing.
