Navigon 7100 gps lost pin code . how to recover or remove old code?

From what I've been reading, Navigon is pulling, or has pulled out of the US. They claim to still support map updates if you purchased a subscription but to spend $ on it now would be risky in my opinion

The battery can be replaced but it will require you to remove the old one and find a matching voltage and sized battery on ebay. you will have to change the connector to the one off the original battery pack.
It has been a while since i have done one of this model but it can be done.

I had the same problem and this fixed it: Connect the navigon to your computer and go into the files directory and create 3 new empty folders, as follows: (You may want to back up your navigon 1st) After i created these empty folders, I was able to go into settings and turn Stree names on

Create these empty folders within MN6\sound folder.

Activation cord is in the freshmaps activation card that comes with purchas of device.It is on the back of the card remove plastc with nail and you will get 15 digits number in 3block with 5 digits each.

there is no need new software require higher gb atleast 4 and download updated softwre to new 4gb sd card.

you get repair or get device wihout sd card.

That is typical of navigon. Based on Consumer Reports, it is THE slowest GPS to sync and recalculate...on the market.. Up to 5 minutes on some tests....

forget it if you dont have the unlock code its useless and may even be hot!

If your useing Windows XP or Vista,drivers arn't needed..Windows "sees" the gps unit as another drive.

If you want to use the logbook , the files are in excel format.

the owners manual shows where the files are stoerd on the memory card!!
