CARiN CD's in BMW Nav
FYI, CARiN is a map format created by VDO-Dayton, and the map CD is identified by the following files:
Apart from the BMW-specific POI, does anything not work, or behave differently? Why? I was wondering if the latest digital maps could be bought cheaper from someone other than BMW... |

For sure CARin maps are working in BMW navigation systems (MKI..MKIV). The producer of these systems is Siemens VDO who is owner of the CARin format.
By the way, if someone has a way to create maps with this format, I am very interested. Jacques. |

I don't believe the maps are locked to any one vehicle manufacturer, however the POI data may be specific to a particular vehicle maker - eg: vehicle service centres. |

I used one of the VDO Dayton disks in a MK III, at the time (about 5 years ago) it was the only way of getting TMC to work in them. Other than TMC you would not know that it was not a BMW disk, the BMW dealerships were even available.

Is there some one who knows where I can get my hands on VDO OS disc? (MO5598) I would like to get the voice files from it.

'carinet' - TMC messages (may be absent) 'bibliography' - used at startup to check map release and BSW version compatibility, also used to detect a map change (by analyzing CD-ID string). All other files are not used. Quote:

This is very interesting...so we can theoretically get maps from other manufacturers and not have to wait for BMW to release them?? (they are very slow here in Australia)
This is exciting news...anyone know what other car manufacturers use the Carin file structure? |
