So I went back to V28 - then my Map DVD (backup) locked up...the Nav unit displayed what looked like a really old menu/front end, so I upgraded back to V29...I now get CITY/PC however, no TMC...it doesn't matter what nav disc I put in, TMC will not enable..

What is wrong here?

Help appreciated.

Have you been into the rds menus to switch TMC back on and specify classic fm. or auto. also you need to turn it back on in traffic information menu - RDS-TMC or something.

If you downgraded then you may have put your system into euro mode and it will need to go back to the dealer for a recode or you can use navcoder software in this forum, with the right interfaces. euro mode is apparent by badly calculated arrival times, and it says car type 7er, in the service menu.

Thanks Eaglesrest...

I did go into the RDS menu, and tried to assign CLASSIC FM to the TMC, and it just sat there and timed out, however, I didn't know I needed to do the RDS - TMC...I'll try again this weekend when I'm home... Thanks!


Tim.

So does the v.29 negate the need to press the AGREE button?

Yes, the legal mumbo jumbo screen will disappear in about 5-8 seconds on its own.

According to BMW, that feature was introduced with v.27. It goes off after 8 seconds.

Don't know what to tell you. The TSB from BMW announcing v 27 says so explicitly.

Maybe you have V.26. Works for me.
