CN+ update out of the verhicle - can I have the pinout?

Hello all.

My Connect Nav+ died on me during update, and 've read that some of the guys actually succeded by pushing some buttons on it during the update, to keep the cd alive, since it seems to be the problem with broken updates - cd stops spinning and update process can't continue, so it fails sometime in the middle.

Now, my CN+ won't boot properly because it seems to be wanting to continue updating itself (or do the update all over again) but it won't really start the process as it should.

I've taken the unit out and opened it, saw a flash eprom, RAM, CPU and another custom chip (chipset?), but couldn't find some connector that might be used to do an external flashing/control of the board.
I also looked at the update disc files and saw that VxWorks is the OS in the unit, but have no idea which file is for what.

So, I was wondering is it possible to have it updated outside of the vehicle, by connecting it to an external power supply and then fiddling with the update process?

I'd like to try that, so I need a pinout of it's main logic/power connector (I think it's the white one with small pins, guess CAN lines are there as well).

I saw some pins mentioned in some posts around about making time delay circuit and others, but they mention two pins as the ones that should have +12V ignition so I'm not really sure which pin is for what - that's why I need the pinout!

Thanks.

P.S. If somebody has a better solution for re-updating CN+, I'm open for ideas.

Re: CN+ update out of the verhicle - can I have the pinout?

I would like that too. I have a faulty one I am trying to get going (not failed through update like yours). The Connect Nav+ is based on a Hitachi SH-4 processor. It can be programmed through a Jtag interface, which is on the small red connector on the left side of the PCB. I have got mine powered through the ISO connector (google for its pinout), but there is also the other white connector which I dont have the pinout for and I believe it requires some connections on this.
