Just a tip for anyone doing the Gracenote update...

It probably takes a good 40 min to load onto the HDD. Also, DON'T exit the screen where the percentage done starts counting up. I'm not sure if this halts the process or not, but when you go back in you won't see the percentage, you won't be able to restart the installation and all your Connections will be gone. I wasn't sure if it was still going or not and had no feedback, so I had to reset iDrive and start it all over again.

Edited to add...
Blah, it didn't work. It finally got to 100% and then just went back to where it allows you to start the installation. The version number on the HDD vs the DVD is still different. Help!

...Just burned it again DAO method and made sure the session was closed. Will see what happens.

....Success! That version of the dvd did the trick.
