E65 7er Sat Nav - Same as other MKIV?

I beleive the boot mounted sat nav dvd drive in an E65 is the MKIV, but with different connections on the back (MOST system). One of the companys that sells nav and OS discs has said the same discs will work on the 7er. Is he correct?

I've got the discs that I used on my MK4 to add speed camera alerts so can i put them straigt in the 7 series?

Cheers

You can use the same map and OS disks, but the computers have nothing else in common.

The E65/E66 uses the NAVI01, NAVI02, and NAVI03 computers. They are totally different from a MKIV nav computer. The NAVIxx does use the same map disks and gets the OS loaded from the same OS loader disk as the MKIV, but that is all they have in common. Under the covers, they are radically different-- much more than just the connectors.

Your map disks with the speed camers will work in a MKIV and any E65/E66 NAVI01/02/03.

It didn't work

Used a standard v32 disc. Update went fine. Got to the point where it asked me to remove the update CD and press 'OK'

After i tried inserting a single layer 2010 DVD, dual layer 2009 DVD but it wouldn't read either off them. But still reads the original 2003 CD

Any ideas? The drive is defo a MK4 and has DVD stamped on the front of it.

Which computer is it? The first is a CD and the later 2 are DVD and CD. Give us the P/N and we can tell which model you have.

@neiloakley: depends on what computer do you have, NAVI01 working only with cd's, quite similar to mk2/3, only NAVI02 and NAVI03 can read dvd's, read sw version printed on label, will read dvd's only if begin with 8 (NAVI02) or 9(NAVI03)

regards

Well it has the DVD logo on the front, but the disc that came with the car is CD.

NAVI02 and NAVI03 but be able to read CD's too otherwise you couldn't update them

But i'll have a look on the lable later today

dvd units can read cd's also, if you have dvd logo on front, most likely that unit can read dvd's, so, either you have a weak laser unit or dvd that you try to read into is not burned properly (use quality dvd like verbatim, tdk on lowest burn speed)

Is your DVD the "Professional" or "High" version. The MKIV, NAVI02, and NAVI03 use the "High" DVD map disk. The other iDrive cars use the "Professional" map disk. Many resellers mix this up.
