Don't know where this comes from however the official document for v26 does not say anything like that: http://www.xoutpost.com/pdf/v26.pdf

And it has always been that way: You can insert any version into any MKx. If the MKx was not up-to-date it get's updated to the latest release.

Several members have reported problems with newer OS versions on MkII & MkIII drives because the older drives just don't have the processor speed to run the newer software. I don't specifically recall anyone on this board asking about an MkI.

I would like to paraphrase the disclaimer: "anything you do to your Navigation computer is at your discretion and X5World will be held harmless from indemnity in case of malfunction..."

Again: v26 does NOT contain any NEW software for MK1, MK2 and MK3 so loading v26 in an MK3 already at software 3-1/63 NOTHING will happen!
On each v.XX-cd there is different software for all 4 MKx-systems!

Geez, is this really so hard to understand?

For MK1 v26 contains the same version that v24.1 already had.
For MK2 v26 contains the same version as that v21 already had.
For MK3 v26 contains the same version as that v22 already had.
For MK4 v26 contains the new software-release 4-1/60

Don't get your panties in a bunch, pal. Relax.

I loaded v24 onto my MkIII and had problems with it, so I downgraded to v23 and since have had no problems.

I've only been here for about a year now, reading reported problems from members who have actually installed the updated software versions on MkII & MkIII drives. You're a little late to the party to be omniscient.

Don't you worry, I'm into this update-business for far more than a year ... And just because a few of you guys are not capable of doing the update right it does not automatically mean it does not work in general.

Before telling the people such nonsense please go to your dealer and get the original firmware CDs and try again. You'll see that updating the MK3 with an orginal (or properly written) v26 works like a charm. Or v25. Or v24.

Most of the unsuccessful update attempts went wrong because of the wrong CD-R type (color matters) and - more often - the CD has been written too quickly (4x should be max, better go for 1x or 2x speed) or because the people don't pay attention to the recommended procedure for updating...

You can update ANY MKx with any v2x-version!
