Thanks to Ferri, V26 is available. I loaded it this morning on my X5 with a MkIV nav computer and it went as smooth as silk. Below are some pictures showing the update progress and the end result.
Note that this update is for MkIV nav drives only. If you have a MkIII, do not even consider using this release because it is reported to have some issues that could render your nav drive inoperable. A few notes on the upgrade, but first a reminder that there are risks to doing the upgrade on your own, so do so knowing that risk is present. Although rare, problems can occur if update steps aren't followed properly or there are issues with the media. Such conditions can cause problems with the nav drive which may not be recoverable. - The image files have been rar'd (compressed), so you will first need to un-rar them. I use a program called TugZip, but there are other programs such as WinRAR that will also do the trick. - Once you have uncompressed the image files you will need to burn them to a CD-R using a program called Alcohol 120%, which is available as a free 30 day trial here - http://trial.alcohol-soft.com/en/download_120.php - Burn the disk using a high quality CD-R disk at the lowest possible burning speed using these steps: 1. click on "image burning wizard" then click "browse" and find the folder that you extracted the two files to.- Once the disk is ready, follow these steps 1. Go to your vehicle and turn the ignition switch to the first position. Let the navigation system boot up and get into a normal operating mode.Here are some screen shots from my update to V26 As you can see from the last couple shots, the screen has a whole new look and feel - and my first reaction is ![]() ![]() Now for what you have all been waiting for - the download link - or http://bmwnavigation.com/software/Na...tware_Updates/ From the X5world team - Enjoy!! ![]()

Thanks Jeff! But please forgive me for my ignorance, I'm a bit confused and have not done an update just yet. Your instructions talk about the "cd", but don't you mean "DVD"? Also, is this just an OS upgrade, i.e. no map updates? I do have the MkIV system in my X - it's a 2004. Thanks again!

![]() I do mean CD, as the operating system is loaded to the nav drive via a CD and not a DVD. But this update is for the DVD-based MkIV ONLY!!! And yes, this is an OS upgrade and not a map update. The lastest map disk for the U.S. is version 2005.2 and is not contained on the download link provided.

Great - thanks for the clarification. And yes, I am a rookie, but not for too much longer!
![]() Is the latest map update available on-line as well? I recently got a flyer from BMW saying a new one is available, but I certainly don't want to pay the premium for it... Thanks again, Jeff! |

Hi guyz,
- Yes, burning only with alcohol 120% and with slow burning speed! - Yes, you have to burn it on a CD - Yes, if you're under warranty the upgrade is free! - The upgrade is for all countries and all spec/delivered systems! !!!! ONLY FOR MKIV !!!! Greetz |
