E46 M3 retrofit sat nav install problem
Im a newbie here and have a problem with my sat nav retrofit install. I have installed everything into my car using these parts: Mk4 dvd nav computer. Bm54 radio module. 16:9 board monitor with tape player. Upon connection of the battery and switching on the ignition the nav screen displays a message in white on a black screen saying : "install software using a suitable cd-rom" The screen never changes even when the radio is on which is annoying as cant tell what station im listening to. I'm assuming that i need to install an operating system/firmware on the dvd nav computer as i suspect it is a brand new one (bought from ebay as a bmw mini drive with latest V29.1 installed on it) as it looks unused and in perfect condition. If im assuming right can i just download V29.1 then burn it onto a CD then put it into the nav drive to install the operating software. Or do i need some other software to begin with.

It does sound to me like you have a nav drive that has never had an OS loaded on it, in which case you can just download V29.1, burn it to a CD-R and load the OS on the drive.
Let us know how it turns out.

Thats great thanks for all the help UCREWX5. I have downloaded V29.1 From a link from this site and burnt it to a cd-r using imagburn following the instructions you gave me the link to. I will again follow these instructions to install the firmware tomorrow and post the results tomorrow, hopefully all will be ok.
Thanks again

Well the nav system is up and running perfectly using v29.1 and 2007-02 dvd map disk.Thanks for your help.
Only problem is the volume control circuit on the display board monitor is faulty.When the volume is reduced to a low level the sound turns into a terrible noise. Rasise the volume a touch more with the volume control on the display or the steering wheel and the sound is returned to normal. Anyone have any ideas please?
