When you upgrade your system with a new menu text will things apaear that arent installed on your car. such as will Television appear if my car doesn't have it or does it only display what you have in your car?

Modifying the satnav...
Quote:
Which VDO system will it be? And you're hacking the V28-firmware with OS9000-tooling? I'm very interrested in this part as well, as I don't like the current MK-IV system at all! The navtweak programm is nice however it does not really alter the functions of this system... My reference is a Garmin Streetpilot 2610 which I used in my previous car! I just got my new car (Z4) with the build in satnav pro.... I know now that the Garmin is way superiour compared to the MK-IV system! Especially the Graphical representation, routing and usability! I have a big list of thing I would see different in my current Z4 satnav system. Maybee I could do it myself..... or together with others owners! Cheers, Rene |

All of the POI icons are now stored on the DVD (as GIF images) in the following locations (note that this is for the 2007-1 NA DVD): ...\TPD\nccBus_na_20060613\ICONS\N ...\TPD\nccBus_na_20060613\ICONS\R Thus, all one needs to do is simply replace the images (retaining the same file name, file format, and image size, of course) with the new ones that they want to use instead (e.g. smaller colored versions, etc.). I'm not sure what the difference is between the "N" and "R" folders as they appear to contain the exact same images/icons. I hope this helps some. |

It would be nice if we could get at the icons and color sets in that file as I'd like to update BMW/MINI's color set and 3D arrow cursor with the ones from the VDO Dayton firmware (as they look better IMHO). I don't have access to the MS5700 firmware, but there is public access to the most recent MS5200 firmware (which appears to have all of the new goodies from the MS5700) on the VDO Dayton web site here: Application Software Update PC 5200 Version 2.50 (48.9 MB) Maybe nomad would be willing to have a look at it in his spare time? I hope this helps some. -- MIKE EDIT: BTW, it appears that in this new firmware update for the MS5200, VDO Dayton has enabled street names to show up in 3D perspective view. I sure hope that they do this for the BMW/MINI firmware as well. This is the one thing that stops me from using the 3D view. More details here: New Features In Version 2.50 Also, for those who don't already know... VDO Dayton is the company that builds the nav computer for BMW/MINI. The BMW/MINI MKIV is based upon the VDO Dayton MS5500 Monitor Navigation system I believe. Thus, it should (in theory) be possible to adapt the VDO Dayton firmware to run on the BMW/MINI On-Board Navigation system. This would be pretty cool since the VDO Dayton firmware has a lot of nice features that aren't available in the BMW/MINI version like Via Points, Saved Routes, the ability to display up to 5 icon types on the map at any one time, warning sounds when near a specified POI, etc., etc. Last edited by TheOfficeMaven; 10-31-2006 at 09:35 PM. |

Just for the record, the BMW/MINI SatNav OS is produced by Siemens VDO BV (Dutch). Search their site...

Same company isn't it???
I thought that VDO Dayton was a subsidiary of VDO Siemens. If you search the VDO Dayton site they also claim that they make the OEM nav system for BMW. EDIT: Yes, just as I suspected, VDO Dayton is a brand name of VDO Siemens. See here: http://www.siemensvdo.com/press/rele...0411_002_e.htm So technically I was correct (but then again, so were you)!
