Well, a little confused here so here we go

I selected perspective mode and it works fine but doesn't show street names while driving anymore,on any scale. ( although it shows poi, ie restaraunts)...also I cant change perspective to OFF, it selects on the menu to off but when the nav starts back up its still there ?

Anyone experienced this?

Can I go back to ver 27 to try this?

Hi, same happened on mine...I can select "birdview" but don't show street names and sites.
I tryed go back at normal view and it show me names...

dunno why...Maybe it's normal for that view.
I think that also with V27 should be the same...

Any suggestions?

Found out by a kind member that its normal not to show street names for "perspective" view.

Finally got mine back to "flat" view, now cant get it back to "perspective"

...takes a few goes on mine for some reason

EDIT- Click the right dial/knob to pull up the map menu
Select "Map Positioning", you should see the Perspective View option there....oop's :-)

I can't seem to get into the hidden system menu.

1. I upgraded my MKIII unit with an MKIV unit from ebay. Easy plug and play.
2. The unit was coded for Euro mode. I am waiting for reslers.de IBUS i/f to recode to US with navcoder, I like feet better although I like the British voice, very proper!
3. I upgraded from 27.1 to 28 successfully.

Now, I want to try perspective mode, however when I press menu key, select Set, hold menu key for up to 30 sec nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Is this because part of the car is coded as US and the NAV is coded as Euro?

Scs...in my X5, and you should try this, I go in "set", move cursor on "screen" and here don't enter in screen menu but hold "menu" button about 10 secs...will appear another menu from which you can choose "perspective".

Thanks Symbian, that did it.

It checks the version number with whats installed and whats on the CD. It also does not switch to Euro mode on doing this!

There is one exception to this rule that we know about. It involves replacing the voice prompt(s) with a different language. i.e switch the USA voice to a English voice, etc. You can do this with the same version you have already installed. However, even when you do this ... it will not reset the system and take it out of USA mode.

You are correct however if you downgrade the firmware version. In all cases this does revert the Nav computer to the default region which appears to be the so called Euro mode.

So if all you ever do is "upgrade" a US nav with BMW Assist and Bluetooth, it will NEVER go into Euromode? So basically if you are a guy screwing around, you'd better bump up the version every time you want to load a new file???

HI all; I’ve been lurking some, and to be honest I don't have the tec knowledge to really understand the download process. I read that I will have to download these (used two programs: WinRAR from www.rarsoft.com and ImgBurn from www.imgburn.com. Just install both with the default options.) And then, I think burn to a disk (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KX592IQUthe). But were I run in to my lack of knowledge is that when I go to the WinRAR/ImgBurn sits, I'm not sure what to do/look for to download.

I'm trying to update my Mk4 (in a Range Rover) that has V.26 to the V.28.

Any help (Keep it Simple) would be gratefully excepted..

Mark

Sometimes, when you do an upgrade, it kicks the nav computer into what most of us affectionately call "Euro Mode." In Euro mode, most of the stuff you identified happens: the accept screen goes away, you lose the Emergency function, short distances revert to yards instead of feet. Behind the scenes, the nav computer loses the internally coded VIN for your car. Most nav users actually prefer Euro Mode to a properly coded nav computer. However, if you have BMW Assist, then you must keep it properly coded.

You also lost the Code functions and Aux ventilation. That is a different problem. However, you can get the functions back by pulling the fuses for the OBC and instrument cluster.

I'm a newbie at this so thanks shoimin for the instructions. I have 2006 US X5 with MkIV DVD like Dataready.

So my first question is those that have been successful at this is yours a MkIV DVD?

if you were successful did it end up in Euro mode ?

don't understand quote above about BMW assist "keep it properly coded"

Thanks in advance for any replies
