Yes, that's right, but the .mdf file should be about 295MB

So...using ImgBurn will actually burn both files even though it says to select the mds?

Also, I have an 02 540i - MKIII SW 1/40...do I need anything else like a "key" i've seen in various threads here?

Is this worth loading to a MKIII, what benefit will it have over the 1/40...I assume the new version will be 1/63.

Thanks for the help

No just burn the big image file
You can easily upgrade 1/40 to newer without issues.
New version is 1/63, better features, nicer look, less bugs, and split-screen capable. Well worth the change.

I was honestly hoping for traffic information, but I suppose that's far fetched.\

There will be someone who will undoubtedly ask how to upgrade, and since I have plenty of time, I'll provide some instructions for how I did it.
1 - I used two programs: WinRAR from www.rarsoft.com and ImgBurn from www.imgburn.com. Just install both with the default options.
2 - Download from the megaupload link from above by clicking it, entering the three digit/letter alphanumberic verification code in the space provided, and submit. Once done, wait about 45 seconds. Some ads will probably pop up, obscurring the download link, so just close any windows or floating ads by clicking the 'x'. Click download at the end of 45 seconds and save to disk.
3 - Right click the file that just downloaded, and select 'extract to bmw v28\' and wait a minute for the program to decompress the two files.
4 - Open ImgBurn, insert a CD into your burner (and wait while it spins up0, and under 'Source' click the icon for 'Browse for a file'. From there, point the file browser the location of v28.mds, which was performed in step 3.
5 - I burn max speed, but generally a slower speed results in a more stable burn, so I suggest burning at the minimum speed. Click the giant burn button and let it do its job.
6 - Take the finished cd to the car. I turn the key to the first position and let everything boot and stabilize. I then eject the Navigation Map, insert the cd, and sit and wait in the car. The process claims to take 6 minutes, but it feels far less than that. Once the process finishes, the screen will tell you to remove the cd, which you should and insert back the map disc. Give it a minute to reboot, and it should have finished.
I have done all of the steps mentioned but when I insert the CD the screen displays that it is an incorrect CD/DVD then spits out the CD from the drive.
I have a MKIV Sat NAV 2003. Any ideas what is wrong ?

I already have a "split" option where I can have the map half size and info on the right. The other setting is "full" and the map takes the whole screen.

Is this what you are talking about?
