MY problem :

i burned the cd and i put it in my nav cd drive and i aplied the way of install and while it start to upgrade te screen becomes black and the GPS navigation disappears from the menu and the cd still inside the driver and i cannot take out
can somone help me to fix my problem and try to take the old options back because now i cannot find the GPS in my screen
please help me i'm wiating fro expert one.

You probably burnt the CD in Mode1 format, which will crash a Mk3.

You need to burn a CD again, using an image burning program that will properly create a Mode2/Form1 format.

I recommend ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com)

Burn at the minimum speed supported by the CD. ImgBurn will show you the speeds.

After the burn you should check for errors and do a surface scan to make sure the disk is good.

Then insert the disk, cross fingers and wait.

thanks for ur responed i will try today with new program and i will use version 29

i did what you asked me to do started with burned and when i put it in nav cd driver it dosnot work :(
and GPS navigation still not in my menu

dear ,KiwiJochen
i tryed to fix my problem by using your way and today i successed
thank you very much for ur help
now i''m planning to find the new version 30 what u think vbmenu_register("postmenu_491347", true);

Check what version is loaded:
MENU - Settings - Look in top right corner.
3-1/63 is the last version ever produced for the Mk3 by BMW.
If you have 3-1/63 loaded then you have the best already. You cannot improve it.

thankx a lot dear ,KiwiJochen
really i'm very happy because it fixed now
and now i have 3-1/62 do you think it's good and no need to have 3-1/63

other question my friend : in the maps cd my country is avilable but only 3 main cities : Can i make a cd for the whole ciites by using google earht map or my own maps?

3-1/63 is the best version, you should load it. Once you have 3-1/63 loaded, the nav is at the best software version it can ever be.

Maps must be made to comply with CARINDB map format.
The only company that knows that format is VDO.
Only VDO can make the maps.

Hi there, i'm new on this forum and i have about the same problem with my MK4. I've had sofware V23 and i wanted to put V28 on it. While installing the screen becomes black and i can't do anything. I can't even take the cd out of the MK4. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks

1. Disconnect your navi-unit from the cables (from the behind)
2. Wait 15-20 min
3. Connect again
4. Repeatedly press Eject button (or press and hold) - disc should be ejected
5. Download 100% working navi soft for example from here http://www.xoutpost.com/navigation-sy...available.html
6. Burn it on a lowest speed
7. Ignition to 1, SW CD into navi...... "cross fingers and wait"(c) KiwiJochen;)

Good luck
