Any Os disc higher than V23 contains EXACTLY the same Mk3 software version: 3-1/63

if your V29 is Mode2 then use it

When the Mk3 restarts if will have default programming loaded (7 series, widescreen with new-gen radio, Euro-mode, etc) You can leave it like this, or get it coded by the dealer to your car if you wish. Or use my NavCoder :-)

So is there any real reason for me to upgrade to V31 from V29?

If you previously had 3-1/63 loaded, then you CANNOT upgrade any higher. There is no newer software for your Mk3 available.

Once the Mk3 has 3-1/63 loaded, inserting any OS CD above V23 achievese absolutely nothing.
