wassup with the traffic message.. does it work.. I never seem to get anything..?

That function doesn't work in the U.S., only in Europe :tsk:

opps.. thx..

can somebody tell me how to get to the second perspective menu


the pointing north and map direction menu....

As far as I know the V27 release only supports direction of travel while in Perspective mode.

Download the "v27 install cd" picture:

V27 installed OK (so far).

All it needs now is the real weather ahead to be shown on the horizon :mantis:

Idiot's Guide to a new voice and splash
 

Visiting from M5Board and love this site!

Despite myself, I upgraded my '03 M5 w/ MKIV to v27 and it works perfectly!

Now however, I'm interested in British voice and large ///M splash and have a few questions. I'm sorry to ask newbie questions that I'm sure are answered somewhere in this thread but honestly I'm lost.
1) British voice: exactly what files do i need to edit, what edits need to be made and how do i make them (what program)?
2) Splash: I'd like the large ///M that I saw in one of the posts but don't have any idea how to get it into the NAV. Can you walk me through the process step by step?
3) Assuming I accomplish both of these, do I simply reburn a CD and upgrade again? Or do i need to downgrade to v26 first then upgrade with modified v27?
4) If I have to downgrade, what exactly will get changed, e.g., no warning screen, what else changes, e.g., distances? Can I change it back to miles/feet or will i be stuck with it in the european v?

Many thanks for all you help!

1. See info on this topic in this thread - http://www.xoutpost.com/navigation-sy...-software.html

2. Let me know which one you are interest in:

or

You burn the disk and load it the same way you made your V27 disk.

3. You would need to downgrade back to V26 and then reupdate to V27. If you just insert the V27 disk the system will tell you that your system is already up to date and spit the disk out.

4. Downgrading will cause you to lose the accept screen and you system will be in feet rather then yards. Only the dealer can recode the unit to put it back into USA mode (accept screen and feet).

Thanks, i'll read through the thread you sent tonight. I'm interested in the second of the two splashes (the large ///M without the BMW).

What about the AUX vent? I've read some posts suggesting I might lose it?
