What OS does BMW NAV use ? Are the OS's different from one model to another ?

The BMW system is made by VDO-Siemens, the map disc format is proprietary.
But a VDO-Siemens map disc will ork in the BMW.
Other cars that use the VDO-Siemens nav system are:
BMW
New Mini
Rolls Royce
VW Phaeton
Some French cars like I think Peugeot
You can try approaching these car dealers in Brazil and asking them if they have map discs for their cars. Start with Rolls Royce and VW Phaeton.
The operating system is the special Carin system, developed by Philips, and now owned by VDO-Siemens. The nav is a type of Unix computer, but very very very special. The nav even has a special Carin processor chip inside it.
There are no standards for nav systems, eveyr manufacturer does it differently.
