Ask the dealer to perform the Professional Nav retrofit coding after you've done the full install. This will update the Mk4 with the VIN and various other settings specific to the X3. However, Kiwikochen's navcoder tool will allow you to do this yourself for free provided you can get hold of an ibus interface. See navforum for more details. Retrofit coding at a dealer has the advantage of checking the software levels of all the related modules - radio, cluster, bluetooth and will bring all of them up to the latest levels. This is no more than 1 hours work for a dealer with the right daignostic / coding tools. Dealer coding also updates BMW's database to show you've corrctly fitted the sat nav option for future diagnostic / repair work. Mk4 navcomputers default to European mode and 7 series spec. THis will work fine in the X3. My used Mk4 worked first time, but if you want everything to be same as factory fit, get a retrofit coding done by BMW. |

It's easy to tell if the 2007 X3 is pre-wired. Check behind the left trunk panel for the blue and purple Mk4 connectors and the nav antenna. If it's pre-wired these will probably be wrapped in grey foam velco and tucked away. Factory nav systems have the antenna in the roof shark fin, the retrofit locates it behind the cluster - this works fine but it's clearly much easier DIY if already wired. Make sure you get a copy of the TIS CD. If you do need to wire the nav you'll need to remove some trim including the B-pillar inner trim - this is easily broken if you don't know where the plastic clips are located. I'll post a picture when I get a chance to load up the CD. |

To code a nav computer with VIN and other vehicle details takes no more than 5 minutes, 10 if a O/S software or language update is required, say to v29.1. See nav forum for details.
You can do this yourself with Kiwijochen's navcoder software and an ibus interface, or pay a dealer to do it. A dealer can also do a retrofit coding of Prof Sat Nav using their diagnostic computers. This has the advantage of updating the software in related components as well as the nav computer to get them all to a known working configuration level (cluster, radio, screen, ULF, etc). It also updates BMW's service computer to show your car has had option 609 correctly retrofitted, preserving the BMW warranty. Some independents have the necessary coding equipment. For my X3 with very recent / new sat nav parts the retrofit module coding took about 1 hour and the dealer charged me £95 + vat. They kindly enabled voice activation of the bluetooth module at the same time. I have heard of situations where secondhand parts can lead to software incompatibilities or other situations where a dealer has taken 2 days to correctly synchronise new module software during a retrofit. My advice is to agree a fixed-price for this work. |

slightly off topic, but im about to take delivery of a 2002 X5 (19" wheels, black, satnav/tv )
from the manuals, it seems a bit fiddley to input the address into the satnav ( i have a garmin at present which is excellent !) do later bmw satnav models or updated OS allow use of zip codes or post codes as the garmin does? how awkward do people find using the bmw satnav- do you get used to it quickly? many thanks |

What is the part number of the CID screen you have?
Where did you get it? Are you sure it works ok? Also, where did the nav computer come from - what part number I'd guess you have a faulty screen or have connected the cables incorrectly. |
