i think this link has died. can someone else try a download as well. i get nothing on the megaupload page. just says waiting to load.

I managed to down load couples of week ago, you need to wait awhile.

Thanks loksim, ill give it a try again

Update. Its working now. Thank you for the update.

Rex7, let me know how's the V32 perform, any abnormalities?

Hi all, i have a slightly different spin on this problem.....
The reason i have been trying to do this upgrade is because i have got a new 2008/2 Professional Europe DVD. I am currently running 2004/1 High in a 2004 X5 3.0d facelift.

I followed all the instructions and eventually managed to download v32. I installed it into my car and voila! I now have 4/1/00 with slightly smoother fonts and even perspective view!

Here's the rub. My new disc wont work!!!! It just keeps saying incorrect disc. My old one still works tho.....

Is this something to do with it being a professional dvd instead of a High dvd like my old one?

EDIT!

Scratch that, ive found the answer on a different thread.

Professional is for idrive, i need a high......... oops!


Also, i still dont appear to be able to enter a postcode. Is that something i will get if i eventually get the new dvd to work?

Thanks for all te advice on installing the os update. Worked a treat for me!

Your x5 is an I-bus car and only uses the High disks. The Prof. is for non e65/66 MOST bus cars (fiber optic) such as e60/63/70/90 cars. Not interchangeable. You need the new "High" disk.

Hi,

I am new to this.

Firstly I would like to thank everyone on this site for all the help shared.

Now, I bought an E39 with MK4 (4-1/12) recently. With the help to this site, updated to V31 i.e. 4-1/00. Also 'got hold' of 2009-1 dvd and its working fine too. Did I do the right thing by updating it from very old to a newer version by skipping all the versions in between??

Also can I / should I updated to V32?

Regards & TIN

Sohail

There is no issue in going directly from a very old 4-1/12 to the current 4-1/100

V32 OS and V31 Os discs both contain 4-1/100, you will not achieve anything by inserting a V32 OS disc. The system will tell you the software is up to date.

Hi Sohail, you did just fine, and without problems I'm glad to see. Just to echo what Jochen said above, there are no issues with missing out the intervening updates.
