r207 - see my PM

Check out the Radio Service Mode article under the nav area on xoutpost.com - there are country specific settings that you might want to set up for Aus.

Glad its working ok now - seems to take a few miniutes for the various modules to complete handshaking and to correctly determine what is and isn't installed. I initially had a greyed out TV menu option (I didn't fit the TV unit) but this disappeared after a few minutes of driving, presumably the Mk4 computer timed out waiting for a response from the video unit.

yeah its all good but with an original nav disc the nav unit says insert correct disc...this is my new problem, maybe need to code the drive?

Luke - you think nav's time consuming - try fitting the official BMW european tow bar retrofit with new power feed from the fuse box - this took me 20+ hours despite writing a Microsoft project plan to help me remember all the steps when putting it back together !

What version of the OS is the nav running ? Should show something like 4/1-80 for v28 in the set-up screen?

Is the map disk an offiicial BMW dvd or a backup - what version is it? Is it a HIGH version for iBus (X3, old X5 etc) cars or a Professional (for I-drive) ?
This is a common problem - lots of info here in the nav forum to help you solve this. Try posting the nav forum rather than the X3 forum
