Just go in and search for another POI, you don't have to select it, just search for it.

The 'Hide POI Icons' option does just that, it does not re-enable the previously selected POI, which it could do you'd have thought.

I will try that on my way home from work. Thanks for the info RichardP1

Guys there is no point in looking for Range Rover firmware updates as they no longer exist and were stopped when BMW sold Landrover.

The last update for the RR Mk3 CD based unit was in September 2003 and that was just a few bug fixes to their equivalent V17. I have a copy of this somewhere on CD if someone wants to dig into it a bit..........The only useful feature would be to find a way to activate the off road feature but I not sure how handy that would be to 3 & 5 series owners though

As for the rest of the software, it doesn't even have the split screen option so its so out of date it might as well be windows 95!

The Range Rover forums are quite usefull for some things but not for Navigation info or hacks........you need to swap out the nav for a Mk4 and come here for that

OK, I finally got the V29.1 to work in my M-5 that has an MK4 in it. Very cool. Thanks for all of the support from those of you here that are smarter than I (probably most of you!).

Now my challenge is to get my Range Rover updated. It has an MK3 in it and shows SW version 3-1/32, which interestingly enough does not show up on any of the update charts that I have seen. It also has a male Brittish voice, so perhaps this was a "grey" unit from the UK?

In any event, anyone know how to get the MK3 to update? I have tried V22.1 and 29.1, and all I get is "Incorrect CD" on the screen. Could this be because it is a Rover (even though it has a BMW Nav unit)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

22.1 is (and will always be) the latest update for the MK3. All of the new firmwares are for MKIV only.

Correct. The 3-1/32 does not show up on any of the British (BMW) updates. There was a 3-1/31 (V17.1) and a 3-1/40 (V18) but your version appears to be unique - probably to Land Rover only. I stand to be corrected, but having been heavily involved with BMW Map DVD's & the CD based OS's since 2005 I have NEVER come across a 3-1/32 version!!! - But that is not to say that Land Rover did not have their own unique software - they do. You must go to a Land/Range Rover forum as I DO know that the Land/Range Rover SatNav OS software is completely different to BMWs (as is the Mini's & Rolls Royce...) - despite using the same MkIII CD & MkIV DVD players.

The reason is quite simple: The Land Rover SatNav OS has all sorts of different algorithms to a road car, aimed at the off-road capabilities, such as height above sea level, angle the vehicle is tilted at etc etc........ The V27/27.1/28/29.1 OS will not load properly because it is not designed for off-road use!.....

So maybe we X3 and X5 drivers should do the other way around and burn a land-rover firmware into our MKIV systems

any interesting link to the rover forums with firmware updates? anyone willing to try?

wickz · #8 03-23-2007, 11:52 AM

I heard that, but I also heard that even 29.1 has the 22.1 update for the MK3 on it. In any event, any idea why I am having a problem with the 22.1 as well? Do you have a good source for the file, perhaps that is the problem? Is there a different one for Rovers? Thanks!

Does this 29.1 work on E60 2007 530i ??

Thanks Winkle. I have not found a site for the Land Rover updates yet, but when I do, I will let everyone here know in case there is interest.
