1: "voice.lst" (hex) with the new dir name (0507)
2: "lng_rel.tbl" (hex) with the new dir name (0507)

Save and make OS then burn then install
thanks for the quick response, I dont want to edit any language, I just want to replace Italian or French with English. I don't quite understand what do you mean by "new modded voice file", sorry.

If you were having POI alert with POIsON.

When the OS is loaded, the languages are loaded at the same time, if the nav gets updated but the voice files have not changed then they don't get loaded, so you have to force the nav to re-upload the voice files.

language text as well I want to replace because on the main menu, text languages are the same as voice languages that were shown to me after the update was done: I, D and F.

I belive that voice file are commanded by the text language right? so If I had english text loaded in the SET menu, automatically the voice language will load as well, am I right?

I still didn't get it with the "new modded voice file", sorry

So you want GB as an option in the menu?

Then you need navcoder or a trip to the dealer, this can't be changed (properly) with with navtweak.

OK, To hack this so that you have GB, you need to convert (modify) the OEM voice and text files from there original, say I, and copy the GB_F.CSF file and rename it to I_F.CSF, then export the English text (under Strings tab in navteak) and the import to the Strings tab.

Then rename the text feild for the I in the lang tab (fren) for GB instead of I.

No, the option in the menu. 1,2 or 3. selects both voice and text.

No, you need navcoder, or dealer to do this. (or the navtweak hack).

I have zipped up the files needed to do the hack.

open your v32.iso in image viewer (ultraIso, migicISO etc)

Overwrite the RR dir with the one in the zip file and overwrite the VOICES dir with the one in the zip file, then update your nav, it has a new version number 4-1/01

This is a hack BTW, so VR (voice) and the TV (text) my still be in Ita

It should make the menu now say GB, D, and F

I must say that's a lot of effort. Simply chaning the car to English the proper way would be muuuccch easier, and you end up with correct confi, not a "hack"

Indeed mate, navcoder (like I mentioned) would be the better and more stable choice.

hi!
not sure if i mislooked this one but; how should I force the navi system fo re-flash software with the same firmware version.

i have it updated to v32 but im fooling around with translations to my mother language and can't get it to reflash it 'couse it's already up-to-date.

thanks!
regards

Since the nav unit doesn't allow it to "update" with the same software as already installed, you have to fake the Software Version, do the following:

Open the v32/v31 image in ultraiso (or similar), extract the 2 .tbl files from the directoy:
<drive>:\V_2\RR\0101\BMWC01S

Onto you desktop, make them read/write and then open it in an HEX editor (like Freeware, PSPad PSPad - free unicode developer editor, handles near any syntax like HTML, PHP, XHTML, JavaScript, ASP, Perl, C and many other languages with HEX editor, multilanguage interface)

In the first line you find something like: 31 30 30 30 This means: 1000 So: Software-Version 10.00

Just edit the last 30 to 31 and you nav unit will think it's a new Software Version and you can update your v31/v32 without prior downgrade to V29

The next time you update, you can edit it back to 1000 or 1002 etc...
