Enable 2D maps on pre-LCI E60

Hi, I am new to this forum and i don't have an X5 but i see you guys are the best in terms of BMW navigation. I hope you can help me with this issue.

I have a 5 Series saloon (e60) manufactured on 02/2007 , a pre-LCI.
The car has factory fitted Business Nav which at the time had only ARROW VIEW. I saw that the LCI 5 series manufactured after march 2007 has 2D map display as standard for Business NAV.

My question is: Can i upgrade somehow my nav system in order to enable the 2D map display?

I have to mention that i checked with my dealer and he has no idea if this is posible or not. I was the first one to ask them.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thank You!

I understood from other forums that the CCC is the same for pre-LCI and LCI models. Can anybody confirm this?

Well...

The pre-LCI 1er with business navigation (ie. just arrows) can be upgraded with a software recode to enable maps to be viewed as well. This can't be done by the user and takes about five hours to do at the dealer.

I'm assuming that the pre-LCI 5er will be able to be upgraded in the same way. There is only one way to know for sure - take your car in for an update.

HTH,

Paul

The latest radio/ccc units now have the favourites buttons on the front.

I asked this question to BMW Customer Support in UK.
Here is the answer they provide:

Dear Mr ____________

Thank you for your swift response.

Please be advised that the latest navigation disc available is BMW
Navigation Business 2008-1.

For your convenience we have attached an extract from the operating
instructions. Perspective view should be selected instead of Arrow view
as detailed below.




We hope this is of use, and if we can be of any further assistance
please feel free to contact us using the details below.

Yours sincerely

It seams that the upgrade can be done only with the map disc.Can anybody confirm this? Does anybody have the Business 2008-1 Europe nav DVD? My dealer claims that the latest one is 2007-2 for the Business Version which i have and it does not enable any 2D maps view.

They use different map discs with very different file format and file structure.
