Postcodes are the UK version of the US zip codes.

On letters the postcode coupled with the house number will find its destination through our (UK) postal system, you don't need an address just the postcode and house number (or name).

With a map disc, the OEM Disc has a partial 5 digit postcode, where as (in most cases) all UK postcode are 7 digit.

So with the OEM 5 digit disc, you need the postcode and the street name/house number, with a modded 7 digit, you just need the code and the number.

Whats up guys? I downloaded the V31 Navigation update and ran it in my cd rom as found in this thread http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=210413 Page 6 shows that this update does not work in MKIII navigations. Unfortunately I did not read every page in that thread

I have the MKIII and now that I did the update my screen is blank. I can hear FM/AM but cannot see anything. The CD in the cd-rom keeps ejecting itself and going back in. Is there any way to reverse this? Is my navigation fried?

Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks guys.

*****UPDATE*******
The latest firmware for the MKII/MKIII Navigation system is V22.1. versions above that are for the MKiV.
The cd was easy to burn; here is where I obtained info: BMW Navigation information | The Web Page of Kristopher Linquist
It gives you a full step by step. Just scroll down to MKIII and you'll find it there.
So heres the story:
Heres my old ugly software that I wanted to throw up whenever I saw

So as mentioned above I used someone elses update cd (which was for an MKIV) and messed up my whole system.
After making the cd, I put the cd in my drive. It stayed blank for about 30 seconds until I see "Press OK to start update" I was in shock.. Then I saw this

Then this:

Of course I hit another bump in the road

No fear. I found a link to a copy of a "key cd" (some MKIII's need this to complete when doing a rather big update) .. ----> Heres the link http://www.e38.org/nav/BMW_NaviSoft_KeyCD_Clone_cd.rar[/URL] ...
Once it was complete the system rebooted and I see a BMW logo on the screen and all of a sudden I see this

WOW! What an upgrade. For years Ive been wanting to do this. Now I have split screen and updated graphics

Thanks to those who helped me out

Nice one, glad to see you have sorted it out, what version were you running mate??

Do you do all your updates at night?

DROPTOPKINGM3 · #**529** 08-21-2010, 01:11 PM

Im not sure which version I was running. It had to be earlier than v17 or 18. I have an early model MKIII which was running without split screen.

Does anyone know if v22 is the highest version? I doubt v32 can run on an MKIII, but can I still step it up to a higher version?

Bob - I normally dont work on my car that late at night, but its the weekend . I couldnt sleep unless I had my car back to normal.

Buy the original v32 cd from the dealer for $12 and insert the cd to nav player. It will restore and update it. Easiest way of doing it. Trust me
