I have just upgraded the nav system on my 2005 X5. This is very easy to, using either genuine or eBay stuff, but beware:- 1) Never, Never, Never turn off the ignition while you are running the update; 2) Make sure your box can handle the version level, earlier boxes can't handle the v.32 level. 3) Better to purchase a map and firmware upgrade together - later maps won't run on earlier firmware. Not anywhere near as plug and play as they claim.

There's a navigation section to this forum friend. You'll find everything you need there, including a link to the newest firmware.
