I picked up my 320i exec and Innovations pack last week.
To the best of my knowledge, I am being told it has a Radio Navigations system. I think the manfactures are Harman Becker. I believe a US based company.

I was wondering if someone could answer the following.
- make & model of this Radio Navigation system.? |
Post some screen shots and photos of the nav

You can do anything with the right tools and knowledge. So if you worked in the software design department of the company that makes the nav, you could do this.
For us simple users, the answer would be NO.
Because the software for the nav is difficult to get hold of - you'd have to remove the nav, disassemble it, find a way to read out the EEPROM contents, and then start reverse engineering.
Very hard.
Also because it is the very latest 2009 model, released only this year I believe.

Older systems are a million miles away from the 2009 nav. On older systems the OS was loaded from a CD and the CD was easy to get hold of.
On the 2009 nav it is a totally different story.

I would be surprised if your nav does not have 3D view in it. 3D was in al BMW nav systems since around 2004. Read the user manual carefully.
Otherwise, if not built in, the answer is as the same as for the question "can I modify the nav".

Too new. Most nav hackers start at around the 5yr old mark when more info becomes available.
