Well, in my X3 I accessed the i-bus line on the back of the TV module as that was the easiest to get to. Not sure which would be the easiest module to get at in the X5, but ALL the modules have an I-bus line. I cannot recall the cable colours but it is the only cable with THREE colours on it I think.

If this is not the case, I have also learned that software downgrading and re-upgrading may fix the problem, but how (and with what) does one downgrade to an earlier software version?

It may just be a case of recoding the MkIV with the correct vehicle type. I would imagine that the navicomp has certain parameters which when set by vehicle type, make the navicomp act in a certain way, so sending the data to the OBC/MID. If I recall, the checkbox for "show arrival time" is to enable the calculation and display of arrival time on the Nav screen - you know the little icon with an updating time next to it in the RH pane.
Try coding for your vehicle 1st and see if that works - make one change at a time and then you can post your findings.
