Wow, I wish I could help you on "why?" - I hope to get to Atlanta in a few weeks and can bring you my MK3 (3-1/63 software) and let you install in yours to find out if its will work for you. (I've gone to a Mk4 nav). that should help narrow down what might be wrong.

the Mk3 in my X5 was the original 3-1/20 and it took me the better part of 8 months to track down how to upgrade the software, AND buy the discs. I just sent them up to Michigan to X5-limo to upgrade his Mk3. If you only need to update your software, I can get him to send you the discs when he is through with them.

no, I did not sell them to him. I sent them to him with the agreement that he would pass them on to others in need of an upgrade.

Let me know if I can help.
