Hi,
Like many before I have scoured the Net in search of the answers surrounding the MMCS disks.

And like others have seen post after post of people finding the disks, then failing to return to the forum to share the information on where to get hold of these little suckers.

Would anyone who has a Grandis, or indeed any Mitsubishi with a MMCS CD ROM please help the rest of us out. Its frustrating when you cant find answers. Where can we get the disks?

Thanks
Skip

Hi Auckalnder, I've got the disks and the instruction book, but they are in Japanese. The mitsi site says they come in English, but I have no idea where to get them. Have you tried the dealer in Auckland? There is a rumor of NZ maps too .... that would be like getting the holy grail.

I've got a disk and book for my Pajero but it isn't very helpful. The disk was already in the player (under seat) and I made a copy of it to send to someone in Wellington who was having problems with thier Chariot. It didn't work. Even though my Pajero is a 97 it has a code of MR172115 MMCS 2001 on it which I presume has been purchased after as it is newer than my model.

Info on MMCS is scarce since it was not supposto be released outside Japan. I am still working on getting a disk which would at least be in English and hopefuuly have some NZ maps on it rather than Japan. I don't have much faith in getting one though as I belive the units use software in the players (eproms) that incorporate propority software. My bet is that when they do come out with translated software it will only operate in systems newer than about 2004. Bad luck for the rest of us, unless we want to take a crash course in Japenese!

Hi Guys,
Eventful couple of days.

Firstly i've managed to get an image from a Japanese man in (strangely enough) Japan. He was very helpful, and ive managed to get the CD working in my Grandis (yes in Japanese).

I am aware that there are probably a few different versions out there at the moment, and because there seems to be alot of interest in getting MMCS's working everywhere am looking at starting up a website with ISO images and instructions for all to share and use.

Lets face it.. You spend the money to get a vehicle that has useful equipment, but its frustrating to get that information or software.. so lets make it easy.

If anyone has some versions of CD's or english guides.. that can help this project let me know.

Cheers
Skip

p.s drop me an email if you want to get hold of an ISO (skip@ignition.net.nz)

Skip,

I take it that the image you referring to is a blank copy of the MMCS CD. If you want I can probably email a copy of mine, unless you already recieved a disk from the couple I sent it to in Fielding.

Is this Jap friend of yours helpful with this problem? Maybe he can give us some guidance on how it works so maybe we figure out if it is possible to get a translated copy and just possibly NZ Sat/Nav cordinates.

If your able to send me a copy that would be great. I have noticed that there are a number of different versions that only work in certain units. So im currently building up a matrix of ISO's for each model MMCS..

I have a translator working on the screens at the moment, and another friend in malaysia who has done a fair amount of work on this already, however he needs a different version of the CD to make his work, so if you could send a copy we can get him up and running and he will complete his english instructions.

Am also looking into the cd and how we could change the screens to english.

Any info/cd's from anyone would help us heaps.. I will hopefully have a Website up and running by the weekend with all the information that we have gained so far.

Thanks
Skip

Hey Skip

Just received an email from Jim. I have a copy of his Pajero MMCS disc, Also I have the original MMCS disc for my '97 Grandis. I have also sourced a couple of "updated" mapping disc's (unfortunately in Japanese). I will see if I can copy them to my hard drive, zip them and email them to you. If not, I will copy them all onto disc and send to you. email me- greg_m@xtra.co.nz

I too am on the hunt for an "english" version of the disc (if it is available), also NZ mapping, but with no such luck.
An english copy of the Grandis user manual, also an english copy of the MMCS book are both available from any Mitsi dealer nationwide. They dont have them in stock, but can order them. $49.95 ea I think.

Well good luck in your bid to outdo Mitsi dealerships (shouldn't be too hard to do....hahaha) in passing on helpful information to all of us. Please let us all know if you get any more info on NZ mapping or english versions of the disc.

Cheers :thumbsup:

Greg

Good to see that we are getting together on this problem as I have reached several dead-ends. This is a common question on the forum and nobody seems to have all the answers. Maybe togethr we can beat it. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

I have found this forum and it has slightly more info on MMCS.

http://www.automotiveforums.com/t278986-na...__amp__mmc.html

Hi there,

I've been looking at getting a 96-98 Galant, and am also really keen on getting the MMCS going,

If this thread is still active...What files are on the CD - if you put the Cd into a normal computer...Im a third year IT degree student, and I know some people that may be able to reverse engineer the data, and reprogram english into it. Im sure that the software security on this Cd wont be too intense, as it is only navigation software.

If you can, take a screenshot of the files listed on the cd.

Let me know rick_r@xtra.co.nz

Thanks

Rick

Hi Guys

Any more progress on this subject yet??? Has anyone compiled a list of what CD's are available from other members.???

There seems to be a lot of talk on the MMCS but all the trhreads seem to go cold without any resolutions or info being imparted to the others.

If anyone out there has copies of the cd and/or manuals that bthey are will to share with others then please make yourself known so we can start up a dialogue with you.

Cheers
yet another Frustrated MMCS owner

:grouphug:

Finally.. Ive got it up and running.

http://mmcs.ignition.net.nz

We are working on loading up manuals, CD ISO's .. basically anything we can get our hands on MMCS information.

Please bear with us on the ISO files, currently the image is on an ADSL link, so its very slow. Hoepfully by tonight it wll be on an American FTP server (much faster).

Please login, register and participate.

If you have MMCS information or CD's please get in contact with me. We would like to get as many versions up there for Kiwi drivers.

Cheers
Skip

Hi Skip

How would i copy the cd? It comes up with a security block. I have the full manual for the 1997 Grandis mmcs,but is in japanese.

Hi Lesso1

Thanks for offerring a copy of your disk, we need as many as we can get

You need to make an ISO image of the CD and not copy it. Here is a little utility to create the ISO and then it can be uploaded to Skips site http://mmcs.ignition.net.nz or you can create the ISO and make another CD to post to Skip

This utility should do the job LC ISO Creator( I have attached a file and here is the URL

Hi Marvin

I tried creating an ISO image but it gets to a stage were it stops and a window pops up saying " Parameters are incorrect ". What can it be?

Lesso1

Hi Lesso1

Yeah these disks can be tricky to copy sometimes

I have attached another ISO maker for you to try WinISO

Unzip the files install the software and apply the serial number from the txt file.

Make sure that you check the ASPI option and not file when creating the iso

The resulting file should be about 600-700 Mb in size.

You can zip it later to reduce the size for uploading

Just playing with my MMCS....couple of good things....

Video in on the CPU allows a perfect input for your PSP or similar to play through the VTR function of the MMCS

Sound In - whilst accompanying the PSP - can also play iPod music!


I found a disk in my unit - Navigation Soft MR285494 Version 8.1M.

If this is any use - can someone let me know.....I am presuming it is the GPS code

Great News People,

the mmcs website is starting to gain some momentum. We have now 3 types of MMCS ISO files online.

http://mmcs.ignition.net.nz

If you would like to contrribute please do so, were getting a huge international appeal towards compiling a complete MMCS resource.

:liebe011: Thanks for all who have contributed and those who are actively contributing.

Cheers

Hi Wkid_one

http://mmcs.ignition.net.nz

Register there and there are inmstuctions on how you can copy and upload your CD

Hope to see you there

Marvin

Kudos to all for setting the MMCS website.
Anybody knows which of the 3 ISO's will work on the year 2000 Japan-spec Chariot? My internet connection isn't exactly blazing fast so I could only download 1 ISO to try. I appreciate the understanding.
