Hi,

first of all I want to say thanks for the excellent job the administrators and the members of this board are doing.

I've just updated my navi with the new version according to the thread of shoimin. Everythings works fine. Many thanks for the precise guidance through the single steps.

Greetings from Bavaria

Edit: March, 4th
I've also succsessfully updated my Dad's X3 yesterday. Everything worked fine. Thanks again.

edit: I just updated, and I can't really tell any differences other than a changed software version to 4-1/80. The upgrade was a success.

I was honestly hoping for traffic information, but I suppose that's far fetched.\

There will be someone who will undoubtedly ask how to upgrade, and since I have plenty of time, I'll provide some instructions for how I did it.
1 - I used two programs: WinRAR from www.rarsoft.com and ImgBurn from www.imgburn.com. Just install both with the default options.
2 - Download from the megaupload link from above by clicking it, entering the three digit/letter alphanumberic verification code in the space provided, and submit. Once done, wait about 45 seconds. Some ads will probably pop up, obscurring the download link, so just close any windows or floating ads by clicking the 'x'. Click download at the end of 45 seconds and save to disk.
3 - Right click the file that just downloaded, and select 'extract to bmw v28\' and wait a minute for the program to decompress the two files.
4 - Open ImgBurn, insert a CD into your burner (and wait while it spins up0, and under 'Source' click the icon for 'Browse for a file'. From there, point the file browser the location of v28.mds, which was performed in step 3.
5 - I burn max speed, but generally a slower speed results in a more stable burn, so I suggest burning at the minimum speed. Click the giant burn button and let it do its job.
6 - Take the finished cd to the car. I turn the key to the first position and let everything boot and stabilize. I then eject the Navigation Map, insert the cd, and sit and wait in the car. The process claims to take 6 minutes, but it feels far less than that. Once the process finishes, the screen will tell you to remove the cd, which you should and insert back the map disc. Give it a minute to reboot, and it should have finished.

Thankyou my nav is updated

I have a 2002 X5 3.0 . NAV at settings reads SW 3-1/40. MKIII V18 . Will the V28 version work for my truck?

I used Daemon tools to mount the image file and then use nero to burn it at low speed. Now i'm waiting for the OK that it'll work in my truck to upgrade the OS.

H-E-L-P
I installed V28 in my 2001 X5. Everything appeared to go well.
Then when the system rebooted it prompted me to "insert CD key or version 17". It no longer likes my original Navigation CD.
How can I fix this?
Thanks, Alex

keep calm!

just download the "Key CD" here:

(only about 5MB)

burn it, insert it into the nav unit and enjoy your new V28 !

Perspective on MK3

Does MK3 support perspective (bird's eye view)?

No, it's not implemented in the MK3 firmware because the MK3 is much too slow !
In comparison: a MK4 it often only takes a few seconds to calculate a 1000km route. Changing the zoom-level only takes about 2 Sekonds.

The MK4 is really much(!) faster! (I has both)

I used the downloaded RAR unzip and my V28.mds shows a file size of 1 kb...is this right?

The mds is tiny, the mdf is the actual content. You're fine.
