MKIV on my E39
 

hi all,
yesterday i tried MKIV on my 1998 540i with 4:3 screen, it was sooo nice but i didnt take it because i have DVD and CD maps the drive take it but it didnt read it even the upgrade software V27, is it only reading original cds and dvds? because mine is copy from original and the cd was working on my old MKII.

because you have a copy of CD or DVD, make a Iso Image and burn... Fly copy not work....
and you need actual CD or DVD disk map.. older not work fine.

i copied the DVD from original Rang-Rover 2004

I could be wrong, but I didn't think the Range Rover DVD will work in the BMW MkIV

ok i treid also the older CD wich i was working with my MKII

What was the date of the CD? I would tend to think that any CD older than 2003 might not work.

cd was 2000-2001, and the rang dvd 2004, but also i insert the cd upgrade v.27 i already try it on MKII its work but i insert it in MKIV it didnt see it, and in the first 3 mins of installing it, it restart and shows the logo then start again, you think shall i buy it or no because its very hard to get one here in kuwait.

and the power led was blinking then stable on red then comes back blinking then ... is thats ok ?

The LED does blink when there is drive activity or i-bus traffic, so that doesn't sound abnormal.

Without seeing it in person it's tough for me to know if the unit is working properly or not. If you can't get it working in your vehicle then it might be wise to pass on it.

the new look in the screen is perfect, but the problem isue is the navigation is not worling even yesterday i ttied it with the upgrade v22 and v27 both the drive didnt seen it.
