First of all, have a read of this, and it'll become all clear.

Help.

I've downloaded and burned V28 for my Mini Cooper S navigation system.
Then I turned my contact on (first click) waited for the system to started up completly and then inserted te V28 CD.
On the screen there was a message "cd rom inserted, reading software".
After that the screen turned blue and remain empty and blue for 25 minutes, so i ejected the cd.
Now nothing is working any more, the screen remain blue.

What to do?

Pierre, I am going to make a guess here since no one else has answered you but obviously the update bombed in the middle of it so now you are stuck. I am going to assume you have the right version for your Mini as I have no idea if it same NAV as the X5, if so, my guess is it is the CD, try burning another copy maybe on a different brand of CD, I used NERO at the slowest speed. I had no problem with the V28 update myself but when I made a backup of my maps disk I found it took about 3 tries to get it right so clearly the DVD drive doesn't read all that well.

Seems to me the worst case scenario will be a trip to the dealer where they can probably just reprogram it for you.

The problem was the type of the navigation system.
I've got the MK III, the CDROM version.
The V28 update only works for the DVD system the MKIV.
The latest version for the MKIII is 22 or 23, and 28 will not work.

So I've to look out voor a MKIV system.

The v28 CD also contains the last update for the MKIII system, the v28 CD had 3 errors which did not cause issues with the MKIV system, but I was not sure where the errors on the disk where located so its possible it was in the MKIII update.

All is not lost, just download and burn the v27 update disk, burn at the slowest speed possible on your writer with a good quality disk.

Remove the power to the MKIII system, pull the cables direct from the unit or remove the fuse or worse case remove your negative battery cable, wait 20 minutes and repower the unit, set your key position to 1 and insert the CD, hopefully it will update and come back to life.

Odia.

I got 3 verify-errors as well, and tried to burn an additional DVD (at low speed; 1x) to confirm whether or not the faults replicated. They did, and at the exact same 3 physical locations on the CD. I then crossed my fingers and updated my system - and it just works perfectly.
