I have looked at that, but the laser works fine for reading the map discs - even copied one. It is only the upgrade discs that don't work.

In reply to another post, I've used Sony, Verbatim and a couple of other discs. Also used discs supplied by experienced members of this form (for which I'm very grateful). None of these work.

"all" I want is to put a genuine BMW disc into my system - and hopefully that will work...

I have a couple of guys from here now trying to source one from me, so thanks to all for their suggestions.

HELP ! HELP ! HELP !

After lots of trying, I finally got an OEM V32 disc (thanks Roy for sending from USA).

I tried it today, but did not work. I had been suggested to try a DVD version.

I tried that tonight - the system recognised it - hooray - 1st time that has happened.

I got 1/2 way through, and it came up with an error message. I clicked OK, and the screen went black.

I now have a black screen, and a MKIV with a disc stuck in it. The eject light is lit, but does not open. The red power light is off.

Can anyone help? How do I get the disc out? How do I get back to an update screen?

My wife is about to kill me for messing up her sat nav!!!!

please help....

Is it an original BMW disk or a burned copy?

I first used the original BMW disc (i've previously tried lots of burned copies that did not read).

The BMW original disc did not read either.

Someone then suggested that I try a DVD version, so I burned a V32 ISO to DVD.

It started to read, and started to upload (hooray, I thought). But then, halfway through, it said there was an error, ejected the disc and said press OK.

I then put the original BMW CD back in to see if it would start again, but the power light went off, and the screen went black.

Now all I have is the radio, which works, but nothing on the screen, and a disc stuck in the MKIV unit that I cant get out.

I just tried a 3 mins pushing the eject button, then releasing and pressing again, but that didn't do anything.

I now have a black screen, no sat nav and no power light to the MK IV unit.

Quite a bit further back that I was before, which was just an old version of OS....

Success

Managed to eject the disc, and burned another image to DVD. This worked a treat, and now have V32 running beautifully....

What should one install into a 1999 Rover 75 (MK3 nav)? This is not for my car, but for a friend who would like the split screen, but retain a Rover splash screen. Would I need to go with a BMW V32 and then use navtweak to revert the splash?

You cannot install BMW OS software on a Range Rover nav

You must use the Range Rover OS software

If the car has ever had the Range Rover Mk3 replaced with a BMW Mk3, then you must load the BMW OS software

CONFIRM first what the vehicle has and what OS version is fitted (top right of settings screen)

Attempting to load an OS on a Range Rover nav when you do not have an original Range Rover OS disc can kill the nav (corrupt flash) so be CAREFUL!
