I wonder if I created an ISO image, burnt it to a CD, would it work in my MkIV (1999 E38 740iL)... |
Only one manufacturer of nav systems in the whole world uses these filenames: VDO (originally developed by Philips, but Philips sold the nav division to VDO, which has also subsequently been sold to Siemens).
The system is called the VDO CARIN system (CAR Information and Navigation).
The carindb file (CARIN Database) is the actual map file for your country.
The VDO CARIN system is also the OEM system in the BMW E38 (and E46, E39, X3, X5, Z4) and also in other cars (Opel, VW, etc)
I am 99% certain that you can make this map work in your BMW.
