But can you upgrade an E60 Nav with v29? I thought it was two completely different Nav systems?

Regards

No, you can not update an E60 with the V29 OS update disks. Those only work in the previous E38 7 Series, E39 5 Series, E46 3 Series, E53 X5, Z4, X3, and E65/E66 7 Series.

Hi,

After doing the V29 update my BMW Assist and Bluetooth won't work. The phone options are gone from the display screen and I can't get the vehicle to enter pairing mode. Has anyone else encountered this?

I also noticed the all the BMW Assist settings are blanked in the Service menu. Had I known the update was going to clear these I would have wrote them down. I'll have to get the dealer to re-enter them. : (

Just re-program them using NavCoder. Sometimes, upgrading software will cause the programming to be reset to default.
check your service menue settings: does it show 'auto em call' = yes?
Does it still show the right car and VIN?
If the car and VIN are wrong, the nav lost its programmed settings.

You can re-program them using my NavCoder software.

Loading new SW into the nav doesn't change the Bluetooth system at all, 'Telephone' should still be visible on the nav Menu.

If not, reset the whole car by disconnecting the battery, waiting 10min, then re-connecting

I downloaded the v29.1.
I burned it at x1 with ImgBurn.
I opened the car door and kept it open; turn the ignition key to position 1
Waited for the main screen then removed the 2006.2 nav CD
Inserted the v29.1 CD, waited… then waited some more, it didn’t load... even thought I could hear it reading data off the CD.
Help! What am I doing wrong??
ThanksJ

I'm not an expert but my suggestion would be to get another CD (CD-R recommended in an earlier thread), and burn again. BTW, you DID unpack it first right?

Sometimes CDs can be touchy like that..

Good Luck

Thanks for your comments Jochen and gwc.

I have burned my own O/S disc and done the Nav upgade with no problems.

I suppose I now cancel the appointment I have next week to have the "whole car system upgrade" and keep my £141.

- Unless someone thinks that the rest of the car will get a big benefit from a system upgrade?
