Not trying to hijack a thread here but how do you find this info on an 07. Settings screen shows me nothing related to nav!

07 is a totally different vehicle. Use the iDrive controller and call up the idrive diagnostics screen:

To access service menu in i-drive cars:
1. From the main menu display, press the controller down for minimum 6 seconds.
2. Turn the controller 3 increments clockwise (to the right).
3. Turn the controller 3 increments counter-clockwise (to the left).
4. Turn controller 1 increment clockwise (right).
5. Turn controller 1 increment counter-clockwise (left).
6. Turn controller 1 increment clockwise (right).
7. Push down on the controller.
8. To exit the service mode, select the return arrow at the bottom on the left of the screen.

Thanks. Is the system mkIV?

No. MKIVs are only for earlier I-Bus cars.
