That sounds about right

Remember, these systems run customer operating systems that are preloaded in the factory. Once in the field, the workshops do not have any tools or methods at their hands apart from loading new OS versions on to virgin units or working units.
A virgin unit has a minimum of OS already loaded ex factory.

A bit-clone from a working unit is the only hope now.
You could try and purchase a 2nd hand nav system from a wrecker and remove the HDD and use that to clone with.
