My Mk3 was HW Version 116, so loaded from 116 directory

Have a look in the service menu (Set, then press-and-hold Menu) and look at Nav/graphic service menu. It shows the HW version

Menu text for all 6 languages is also stored in usw_load file.
Use NavTweak v2.6 to edit the text.

If it is a standard BMW option then it is a question of programming, and yes, everything is possible when I find out the right ibus commands

If not a standard option then you must make hardware to manage the code. I am thinking of making a basicstamp to do this...

No, the nav unit needs recoding to change these settings. Thats what I made NavCoder for. But on my car the settings have not changed from v6.3 to v6.4 and v6.5 (all new images, new text)

Cheers, Jochen (currently my E39 is in pieces while I fit the OEM trailer light control module)
