In any event, anyone know how to get the MK3 to update? I have tried V22.1 and 29.1, and all I get is "Incorrect CD" on the screen. Could this be because it is a Rover (even though it has a BMW Nav unit)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Correct. The 3-1/32 does not show up on any of the British (BMW) updates. There was a 3-1/31 (V17.1) and a 3-1/40 (V18) but your version appears to be unique - probably to Land Rover only. I stand to be corrected, but having been heavily involved with BMW Map DVD's & the CD based OS's since 2005 I have NEVER come across a 3-1/32 version!!! - But that is not to say that Land Rover did not have their own unique software - they do. You must go to a Land/Range Rover forum as I DO know that the Land/Range Rover SatNav OS software is completely different to BMWs (as is the Mini's & Rolls Royce...) - despite using the same MkIII CD & MkIV DVD players.
The reason is quite simple: The Land Rover SatNav OS has all sorts of different algorithms to a road car, aimed at the off-road capabilities, such as height above sea level, angle the vehicle is tilted at etc etc........ The V27/27.1/28/29.1 OS will not load properly because it is not designed for off-road use!.....
