Hello J. --
Did you ever get this update and did it work for you on software v1.8.0? Are the two marine charts still loaded after the update (for use in point to point navigation)?
Last, any idea where I can get one? I contacted Pana-Pacific today and they said no dice.
Thanks,
THETexJWP

The panapacific website updated the discription of PACCARQ110
quote:
This Navteq map update DVD is applicable to the Lowrance GPS iWAY500c and iWAY600c, which were previously installed in Peterbilt and Kenworth vehicles.
Update Features:
# Quarter 1, 2010 version
# Comes on a DVD
# Updates routing maps, but does not include a point-of-interest update
To order, contact Pana-Pacific customer service at 1-800-726-2636.
Looks like this is the only update that will be available.
I have a dvd on order, My Peterbuilt dealer put it on his stock order. He told me that could take up to 2 weeks for him to receive. I am ok with that because special orders always have extra shipping charges added on. When I get it I will let everyone here know. |

Sounds like Lowrance did a bit of modifying to the KW/Peterbuilt units. Maybe it doesn't even have a rear cover on it. Can you see the back of the unit? If it's got airflow inside the case it should certainly stay cool enough in my opinion. |

Conveniently, Kenworth added an extension usb cable to the glove box. I can plug in without disassembling the dash. The PACCAR unit hardwired to a 6pin square plug, It does not appear to be a adapter cable, but instead hardwired to the unit itself.
I could not see any fan or port for A/C air to blow on it, I figured if I kept the cab cold enough to wear a jacket, I could keep it from overheating.
Sorry about the quoting I got into the habit on other boards to be clear on what I am commenting on. |

And how exactly are you going to get the update into the iWay? If you've got to take the dash apart to get at the USB port, you might as well take the unit indoors and run it off the AC adapter with a fan blowing on it. Or doesn't the KW unit come with any of that stuff?
I doubt the A/C blows on the back of the unit either. |

My dealer ordered it on a "stock order", it told him that it comes directly from manufacture. I expect to wait about 2 weeks to get the DVD. He could have ordered it to be delivered sooner, but that adds extra cost to shipping.
I could just start the truck and run the A/C at full blast |

Well let us know how the update works, OK. I don't know if this is a one-time thing or if this means there may be future updates, but I'm very glad there's an update for my 600c no matter where it comes from.
Remember to keep the iWay 500c cool during the couple of hour long update to prevent the disk from overheating. This is/was a known problem on the 500c. I usually set up a small fan to blow over the back of the unit during updates. Couldn't hurt... |

I drive a 2007 Kenworth with the iWAY500c in the dash. I had to upgrade the maps to Q1-06 shortly after I got it. The DVD I got from the Kenworth dealer, and it was the same one I could buy online. The mapping data is the same, the only difference is the truck specific POI's. If you choose to install the truck POI's I think you will have to choose Peterbilt or Kenworth and get the truck splash screen at boot, before the warning screen. |

I don't see why not. The installation macros read the hardware ID (which is changed in the diag menu to normal, KW or Peterbuilt) and loads the correct files to the disk. The PACCAR database is an add-on, not necessary for regular automotive use. The skins for PACCAR units are different but should only be changed if the system software is updated, not the maps (I don't think). You can examine the install macros which are in pseudo-XML before doing the installation to see what will be transferred. |

Would you think the PACCAR version would work on all iWay 500C/600C units? |

The PACCAR version has a truck dealer/repair shop database which can be enabled by changing the mode in diags to Kenworth or Peterbuilt. I imagine the 1.7 is the PACCAR data version. |

I will have to look at the information screen again, but I think I have Q1-06 ver 1.2 map data. I can only guess that it took the programmers 7 tries to get a version that worked this time, vs only 2 times for Q1-06.

The NAVTEQ Map Update Q1-10 is what we are all looking for. Wonder what the version 1.7 is, and how does it relate to the latest iWay 500C/600C software updates (ver.1.8.0 and ver. 1.3.0, respectively)? |

I just ordered one from the Peterbilt dealer here in Landover MD. My price is $89.24 He did show a Peterbilt dealer in Montreal QB Canada as having one in stock |

Very interesting. No prices without creating an account though. Looks like a place that deals with truckers. Might be a contractual agreement they had to honor when Lowrance made units for Kenworth, Peterbuilt, Freghtliner etc. |
