Elvis, as MrX said, there are no problems with taking the disc out and putting it back in. It might be worthwhile to check on the revision level of the disc.
I was told that the new revisions of the navigation software are released in March or April of each year, and carry the next year's number. If anyone has more specific information, please post that here. Your car should have been equipped with the 2008 DVD, which had been available for about seven months by then. But that is no guarantee that it was. I bought my new X5 on January 29, 2008. The navigation DVD should have been the 2008 version, which would have been released about eight or nine months before my purchase, and BEFORE my car was built. But my car came with the 2007 DVD installed. I suppose it is fairly easy for someone at the dealer's to swap last year's disc in and keep the current DVD. They sell for $200 at the Dealers. I guess that could even happen by accident. Either way, my car came with a DVD that was outdated at the time I purchased the car. Incidentally, my sales rep told me at the time of the purchase that the next revision of the navigation DVD wold be provided at no cost under the warranty, since it would be released in just a few months. When I contacted the service department about that upgrade, they told me that no new DVD is provided under warranty. Oh, well. That is what I get for listening to a salesman. It was after that new DVD was declined by the service department that I checked the revision of the disc and learned that it was a 2007. Jim M |

the dealer is doing you a favor by not recommending you upgrade, especially not at $200 (I actually got a mailer about it today). It really isn't a noticeable difference unless you travel a lot and random places need updating. 2-3 years down the road, maybe, definitely not after just a year. BTW, your revision is marked on the face of the dvd.
