Hi
It's my first post on this forum. I've bought lately X3 (E83) with NAVI PRO, and like so many of you I wish to upgrade this system. I'm working on it just for a week and I'm still in programming mode but after reading previous posts and other threads on this forum it's seems to be not very complicated. The biggest problem was to find correct GTK+ library, I tried 7 different versions (!) and none of them works satisfactory with both navtweak/speak and Poison, what confirmed yours problems with crashing navtweak. I got slightly pissed and begun to make some experiments, so what it came: the mix of newest (?) library 2.16.6 and older one 2.8.18 did a trick. I can use now any navtweak 2.6 or 2.7, also Poison and make a lot of navboot changes, save it, or not when using some other applications in meantime, even forgot about it for all day and it didn't crashed even once (XPpro_SP3 by the way). My car is quite new, so question is how BMW company reacts to "upgraded" software? I don't want to loose guarantee, do I have to put original soft when I have to go for any service? Any experience in this subject? Is it possible to download OEM soft from car? . Because I had no luck to find OEM soft so I used poisoned one with patched navboot, just for practising. But it's a pity there is no OS9000 emulator for testing what I've done, I've also read post where somebody claims that NAVI starts when door is open. I have to turn on ignition key, but this creates me another idea to put more life in navi. Is it possible to make navi "talk" during startup. It would be cool to hear something like "welcome on board pal” or whatever "take off your paint ladies ...w’re starting our ride" Any toy running simplest OS can do it, why not NAVI?
Best regards for everybody.
