Laser is OK from Neo1984's descriptions.

On INPA a special NAV save protect mode can be set to block the unit from updating the memory. It's a software flag. This could be active.

I would suggest a simple test. Change the color from settings (blue for example), turn ignition off, wait until red led on navi turns off, turn the key to position 1 and if the color is changed to default (some kind of brown), the flash memory is corrupted for sure and there is no way to reflash it.

I have 4 units with problem like this.

Your 4 units can be fixed, simply replace faulty flash memory with new flash memory. Ensure you program the new flash before soldering in.

Yes I know, but if the price of flash itself is 4 euros, delivery to my country is 43 euros.

Do you know witch of this flash memory is correct for MK3: M29F200b or M29F400.
And...one more question, where I can find a dump for those chips, because trying to take one from working MK3 is not so good idea...I think


And...Kiwi, just wanted to thank you for that you are, always heplful and never get tired to explain. May the M-power be with you

Autotronic in Australia has some original memory chips, maybe he can email you some in normal postage

Also, he likely has some dumps for these chips, so ask him kindly

While we waiting @Neo1984 to do the test with colors, let me acquaint you with one interesting (according to me) case.

The situation in short:
MK3 updated with latest software 3-1/63. I tried to change language and update with a custom one 3-1/65 (works perfect with many others MK3 and MK4), but after 30min waiting I had only black screen. I took CD out and tried v17 (clear, not 17.1) and update was successful.
Tried again, but with original v32 mode2 and i got only 15-20 resets and no loading of software.

Flash memory, in my opinion is OK, because I can change VIN, I can read nav, I can start language change, but it does not want to update.

I swap the mechanical part from working MK3 and.... nothing again.

Here is the log from NavCoder:

Would you tell us, where exactly is this flag in FSW_PSW taken with NCS Expert from MK3 computer!?
Code:
BAUREIHE
    e53
WIDESCREEN_MODI
    wert_01
LAENDERVARIANTE_GT
    ece
SPEED_MAPS
    wert_01
SPEED_ROUTE_MAPS
    wert_01
USER_INPUT
    wert_01
AUTOMATISCHER_NOTRUF
    aktiv
BAUART
    ohne
TELEMATIK
    nicht_aktiv
I also tried NVR Save ON and NVR Save OFF, but no success with updating. Tried clearing software flag with INPA but no success again.

When I put OS CD in navi, NavCoder shows this message in log window every time when system reboot (it reboots at lest 20 times) and tries to load software:

18 0A 68 39 00 02 00 3F 00 04 10 6A
CDC --> RAD : CD_status: Stop Request=Pause CD=4 Track=10 CDs_Loaded=P1,P2,P3,P4,P5,P6

The situation for now is: I can change VIN, Model, Languages etc. (the nav is readable), but it does not want to update. The only thing I got on the screen is this:



P.S @autotronic, I sent you a mail about MK3 flash memory

Is this a range rover navi that you are trying to update with BMW software?

No its not from RR. It is from BMW X5 E53 february 2002. BMW # is 65.90-6 920 758

The iteresting thing is that firstable it did not load v32 but I had success with v17. Now it does not update any further

I also think that this navi is looking for some file in CD and does not find it, but I don`t know witch one.

Is it good idea trying an RR software?
