Hi:
I'm new to the forum. I just got a Hualingan for E46 and installed on my 2001 325. It works beautifully except the GPS has an error message of "Map file cannot be found". I purchased the unit with SD card loaded with US map, but apparently there are only .3dl files in the map folder. I'm contacting the seller. Meanwhile, may I ask you to post your working software, or tell me where can I download them? Thanks!

Hi tony1110 and welcome to the forum. Since you have an E46 you might want to check out e46fanatics.com. Although they tend to favor the dynavin, the navigation software works the same on both units. Do a search for dynavin on their site.

If all you need is maps for your software then you may find what you need here WORLD MAPS iGO 8.3.x : iGO AMIGO : iGO PRIMO

Many thanks, NextGen! I do find good thread on e46fanatics - for Dynavin though. Anyway, right now all I need is the map files. I followed your link and the files aren't there. They have links to mirror sites, but also say files deleted. Any other places?

You have to check back at that site periodically. Basically it is a cat and mouse game. The poster will put the links out there and then the host will delete them. I just went out there and the links are working again.

By the way these maps are for iGo 8.3 or iGo Primo. If you are still using 8.0 that came with the unit then these will not work. Primo seems to be the best one.

If you want a version of Primo try this link - iGO Primo Issues/Tweaks/Systxt thread - Page 6 - E46Fanatics. See post 104.

I downloaded and installed the iGO Primo. It works beautifully!
Thank you so much and Happy New Year!

There is a sw called Voice Command for windows mobile which works very well for mobile phones. You can try to install it and see if it's dialing although the HL is not a phone.

Has anyone installed the rear view camera using Hualingan? Like to learn the experience. Any pre-wire can be utilized?
