Hi,
i am in need of a registration code for my unit.This is my first sat nav unit and i bought it secondhand,unknown to me though when i bought it i didnt know i needed a reg code to be able to update the maps.Having phoned garmin and gave them all the info about the unit and how i bought it they told me without this reg code i cant update maps.So thats why i am here to see if anybody knows a way round this problem or has an old reg code they never used sitting around somewhere,any help with my problem woud be great as every time i turn my unit on it tells me my maps are out of date by over a year,thank you in advance.

Hi,my father in law got the i3 as a free gift and even with the correct codes etc there are no map updates available as the model is deleted.The last update was 2005 and nothing since.Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

i sold my i3 about jan/feb so haven't seen one since. to get rid of the nag screen of your 'maps being out of date' you need to roll the firmware back to 2.7.
you can dload the 2.70 firmware from here

make sure its the i3 2.70 and back up your memory card first

if you get stuck pm me, i've got a reg code and updated map dvd for my old unit, which i never used.
