They should be:

DVD or USB 1 = 7.07 GB.
DVD or USB 2 = 7.44 GB.
DVD or USB 3 = 7.35 GB.
Ok, from finder on my MAC:
USB 1 is 7,599,372,517 bytes (7.6 GB on disk) for 49 items
USB2 is 7,989,215,476 bytes (7.99 GB on disk) for 25 items
USB3 is 7,899,473,192 bytes (7.9 GB on disk) for 22 items

Everything seems to be running 500 GB larger. Any ideas? The first 22 .rar files were 700mb and the 23rd was a bit smaller, IIRC.

I have put all the files onto larger flash drives so can see if it installs, or re expand the files.
I used StuffIt on my mac to expand the compressed files.

I also used one 32gig USB drive. I renamed the USB drive to "USB1" and placed the USB 1 files into the root of the drive. I created sub folders for USB2 and USB3.

After completion of loading the USB1 data to the car, I ejected the USB drive. Connected it to my mac and just moved files from USB2 to root. Renamed drive to USB2 and connected it to the car. Went really fast. Repeat steps for USB3.

Worked like a charm.
