Your Bluetooth will be fine. It disappears after the upgrade while the screen reboots all your functions reappear. Good Luck

Just some advice for any ppl using MK3, if u upgrade to a later OS there will be no benefits after version 22.1. So its not worth upgrading because the MK3 computer is not capable of showing them. Also if you really do want to upgrade to say V29.1 when u use a MK3 u need to use Imgburn and burn at 4x or less. Some ppl might already now this but just wanted to make those MK3 users aware because a lot of advice on this topic assumes u have MK4.

I just did the upgrade in my sister's 04 330XI with no problems. It seems that nothing changed in her car. When I did it in my 05 M3 my emergency button in the menu disappeared and the telephone button moved to the opposite side of the screen. The emergency button still appears in my telephone menu but it doesn't allow me to enter into it. I also have a grayed out traffic button... Did the emergency button disappear from anyone else? It used to give me the option instead of contacking BMW assist from through the nav screen instead of the mirror buttons.

Tim.
Unfortunately I am encountering the same problem.
I can't switch on my TMC any more; I did try everything I found until now.
I don't know if it is related to the V29or not ...

Smile Thanks to all!

Hey everyone,

This forum is wonderful! you guys are amazing.

Thanks to you all. I have successfully upgraded my MKII in my E39 2000M5 (sorry it's not an X5) from 2 -1/28 to 2-1/81 (the latest on 29.1) thanks to all your detailed instructions and posts. Worked simply and perfectly the first time.

All NooBies (like me) please take the time to read this entire thread. All your answers are here. I did, and even had the confidence to handle a 'blank screen' failure if it happened.

Now onto bigger and better things!Such as:
Since I have an MKII (4:3 screen) can I still do custom startup screens? If so, I assume the resolution of the graphic will have to change.
I saw some great graphics in other forums here on X5world, but I think they're all for a 16:9 screen.


MKII looking for a place to start. Thanks in advance.

I have v26 on my MKIII; just tried to upgrade to v29 and it displayed the screen that says it would take six mintues, then about 10 seconds later it said "Complete. Press OK and remove disk". After the reboot the version still says 3 1/63. So, did it upgrade or not? From my investigation, v29 will say 3 1/63 as well. I just wonder why the upgrade was so quick...did it compare the disk to v26 and only make a few minor changes? I wish I could tell if it really updated.

BTW, I used ImgBurn at 1X on CD-R (with verify on), so I know the CD is good.
