Thus, on the last release (V32), NAVI03 was updated, and all other software was not changed.

What does the NAVI03 do btw?

When a new release of the OS disc is released, it will contain a newer version of at least 1 (or more) nav OS software.
Normally, only the software that is under current production is updated.
All other versions have generally stopped development and remain unchanged.

Thus, on the last release (V32), NAVI03 was updated, and all other software was not changed.

Likewise, Mk3 software has remained unchanged at 3-1/63 since V22 which was released around August 2003.

> The MkIII unit that I removed from my 2002 E53 was running V22 (3-1/63) ...

You cannot state this. If you want to say this, you have to say "my nav was running V22, V23, V24, V25, V26, V27, V28, V29, V30, V31 & V32" - because all of these OS discs contain the same 3-1/63 software for your Mk3 nav.


> I am aware that I'll have to burn 2 different versions of V32 to use in my Mk III (CD) and Mk IV (DVD) units if I proceed.

No. Just make an Mode2/Form1 disc and it will update both units to the current software version held on the OS disc - provided of course that the version is different (higher or lower) to what is currently loaded in the nav.
V31 contains 3-1/63 and 4-1/100 (amongst others).
V32 also contains 3-1/63 and 4-1/100.
If you already have 3-1/63 on the Mk3 and 4-1/100 on the Mk4, then trying to load V32 will result in no change, as the software has not changed.

> Secondly, having modded the pointer icon and splash screen on my Mk IV, will I have to repeat this exercise before I burn V32? or will it remember those changes from V31?

If you modified an OS disc, the changes are on that OS disc only. If you then subsequently load a new version of OS onto the nav, then the existing OS (including grpahics, pointers, splash screens) will be overwritten by the new OS.

Remember, both V31 and V32 contain 4-1/100: ie - no changes for the Mk4.

Calculates your position based on reception of GPS signals
Reads a map disc and then places your position on the map
Calculates routes from where you are to where you want to go
etc etc

It is a navigation computer, the same as what we have become accustomed to since 1994 when nav computers first start appearing in BMWs

I dont know what you do for a day job but, you are an oracle of knowledge when it comes to these matters.

Part number not right?

I called my local dealer about the V32 upgrade. I gave him this number, and he told me that it is not currently available. Then he told me it was not available for my car (an X3). Then he told me that it was a map disc, not an OS disc (although he didn't know what an OS disc is). Then he told me it costs £220.

Is this the right part number? Is there something else to tell the BMW parts guys?

another example of BMW not knowing what they are talking about. He's basically quoted you for a new Map disc. Tell you you need the firmware updating on the Sat Nav unit and see if he figures it out from there.

I went into see another dealer today. He found the part on his system, and showed me the listing. It says V32 disc, so seems like the right one. But it was listed at £220. Where does the $8.72 come from? Is it really 200 quid? Explains why it is so widely downloaded, I suppose....

Also, it is on hold because (they think) there might be another update coming soon.

Its $8 at USA dealers... Who knows what UK dealers are charging...

attic 02-08-2010 12:17 PM
220 pounds is $350! Surely even the UK dealers couldn't put that much of a markup on?

Maybe they are charging labour to upgrade the firmware too? Perhaps ask for parts only?

And interesting about the new release - try and find out some more information :)

ccfj1 02-08-2010 12:24 PM
I've been told (by several sources) that v32 was the last for the mk4.

So if this is true I'd be interested to see who it's for.

attic 02-08-2010 12:25 PM
no - this was the price for the part only. I looked on his computer to try to see if was also including a map update, but it looked like it was just the firmware.

They had no clue what the firmware update was, though. Had never heard of it, or seen it, or been asked for it.

All they knew - it costs £220, and they can't order it even if I wanted to pay that, because BMW have put it on hold, which they said usually means there is an update to whatever is on hold...

Has anyone bought the update in UK and paid £200?

X5 Meister 02-08-2010 01:42 PM
Yep. He's a moron. Just order from a BMW parts place like getbmwparts.com

I ordered a Ver.32 from the Dealer a couple of weeks ago. P/N 01 59 0 141 891 , it took 2/3 days and cost about $8. Your Dealer is just not up to doing it I guess. You can verify the P/N on the realoem.com site. RealOEM.com BMW E83 X3 2.5i BMW CD/DVD miscellaneous

Here's a thought... Spend $10 at the dealer and buy a legitimate copy of the CD rather than sticking some downloaded thing off the internet into your $1000 DVD drive.

X5 Meister 02-09-2010 08:58 PM

THat is EXACTLY what I have been trying to do, to update my 4/1-30 system but I have been to 3 dealers so far in the UK and all tell me that:

1. The V32 disc cost 220 pound (about 300 dollars)
and
2. It is on hold from BMW and they couldn't get it even if I wanted to spend that much money.

I have used the part number listed here, and all 3 dealers said the same thing.

A couple of guys on here are trying to help, but it does not seem an easy disc to get hold of, at least in UK...

sna77 02-11-2010 05:42 PM
go to getBMWparts.com. They might ship to the UK.

If they don't ship internationally, I'll ship it out for you...

Thanks to everyone for offers of their disc, or download site.

My issue is that the DVD player will not read copied discs - probably the laser being a bit shaky. So I need an official BMW disc.

As mentioned, I've tried 3 dealers in UK who first quote hundreds of punds, then say that anyway it is on hold by BMNW and not available.

One forum member is trying to use some contacts to source me a disc...

IF you think its a shaky laser, change it. You can DIY and parts are cheap.

2nd Generation MINI?
 
I have a 08 MINI Cooper Clubman with NAV. I read that this update doesn't work with the newer BMW NAV systems, but wasn't sure if the MINI system is the newer system as well. Could someone provide some guidance?

Thanks.

I have looked at that, but the laser works fine for reading the map discs - even copied one. It is only the upgrade discs that don't work.

In reply to another post, I've used Sony, Verbatim and a couple of other discs. Also used discs supplied by experienced members of this form (for which I'm very grateful). None of these work.

"all" I want is to put a genuine BMW disc into my system - and hopefully that will work...

I have a couple of guys from here now trying to source one from me, so thanks to all for their suggestions.

HELP ! HELP ! HELP !
 
After lots of trying, I finally got an OEM V32 disc (thanks Roy for sending from USA).

I tried it today, but did not work. I had been suggested to try a DVD version.

I tried that tonight - the system recognised it - hooray - 1st time that has happened.

I got 1/2 way through, and it came up with an error message. I clicked OK, and the screen went black.

I now have a black screen, and a MKIV with a disc stuck in it. The eject light is lit, but does not open. The red power light is off.

Can anyone help? How do I get the disc out? How do I get back to an update screen?

My wife is about to kill me for messing up her sat nav!!!!

please help....

X5 Meister 02-27-2010 06:45 PM
Is it an original BMW disk or a burned copy?

attic 02-27-2010 06:51 PM
I first used the original BMW disc (i've previously tried lots of burned copies that did not read).

The BMW original disc did not read either.

Someone then suggested that I try a DVD version, so I burned a V32 ISO to DVD.

It started to read, and started to upload (hooray, I thought). But then, halfway through, it said there was an error, ejected the disc and said press OK.

I then put the original BMW CD back in to see if it would start again, but the power light went off, and the screen went black.

Now all I have is the radio, which works, but nothing on the screen, and a disc stuck in the MKIV unit that I cant get out.

I just tried a 3 mins pushing the eject button, then releasing and pressing again, but that didn't do anything.

I now have a black screen, no sat nav and no power light to the MK IV unit.

Quite a bit further back that I was before, which was just an old version of OS....

What should one install into a 1999 Rover 75 (MK3 nav)? This is not for my car, but for a friend who would like the split screen, but retain a Rover splash screen. Would I need to go with a BMW V32 and then use navtweak to revert the splash?

You cannot install BMW OS software on a Range Rover nav

You must use the Range Rover OS software

If the car has ever had the Range Rover Mk3 replaced with a BMW Mk3, then you must load the BMW OS software

CONFIRM first what the vehicle has and what OS version is fitted (top right of settings screen)

Attempting to load an OS on a Range Rover nav when you do not have an original Range Rover OS disc can kill the nav (corrupt flash) so be CAREFUL!

The Rover 75 has the E46 4:3 system I think. Slightly different to the Range Rover and BMW, but I wasn't sure.

I got back from holiday and my Relser interface has been shipped :thumbup:

Physically the nav is similar, because it is made by the same manufacturer.
But the boot loader in the navigation computer only loads software from a boot disc that identifies itself as Range Rover OS (LROC01S).

The boot loader cannot be changer, it is in the EEPROM of the nav computer

This is why the BMW OS, which has a bootloader of BMWC01S cannot be loaded

Therefore I repeat myself:
If it is the original Range Rover nav, it expects an OS from a Range Rover OS disc (LROC01S). It CANNOT load an OS from the BMW OS disc (BMWC01S)

DO NOT TRY

You risk corrupting the flash memory in the Range Rover nav and making the nav totally inoperable.

CONFIRM exactly what you have BEFORE you try loading an OS.

You may already have the newest Range Rover OS ever released, if that is the case no newer OS exists and the exercise is pointless.

Is the boot loader in the BMW MK3 radionavigation [monochrome] GPS (BMW PN 65906920758] also preventing an upgrade of the firmware to a colour 4:3 version?

You may need to use navcoder to change the unit to a colour one (easy enough with navcoder and an OS disc).

Connect the mk3, then connect the i-bus interface and run navcoder, use the navigation tab and its at the bottom of the page, tick the boxes and put the os disc in when it asks for it, thats it.

Please forgive my dumb question.

My new 2010 X5 is being delivered today; within the hour in fact.

Can anyone please tell me what Nave system is in the new X5 and how do I check the Nav firmware version and the map version.

Also what are the current versions of the firmware and map info.
Does this new update apply to the 2010 X5?

Again sorry for the dumb questions. But thanks in advance for the help.

ccfj1 03-16-2010 12:08 PM
You will probably have the PRO nav system and the latest here in Europe is the 2010-1 PRO disc, not sure about the states (2009-1) I think.

OS updates are done through the dealers only and are not "home" upgradeable.

As for what version I have no idea, sorry.

hdoan86 03-16-2010 02:59 PM
CCFJ1, i have read this forum up and down and im sorry to bother you but i need to ask you a question as I could not find the answer.

I have MK4 and i have updated it to V32 already with a file u posted for someone else under night time mode. I am now trying to edit my own custom splash. Which file do I need to modify and where?

Also,

I noticed in your other post you changed the version number from 10.00 to 10.01....How do i make mine 10.02 so the update is forced?

Thank you!

For the mk4 you need to edit the navboot file, and its under the rom_icon tab (I think). its about the 14 entry down.

You need to hex edit the 2 .tbl files is the mk4/101 dir.

Do you think its possible If i send you an M image for the splash and i could paypal you to do this to version 10.02. I dont know how to use the Hex programs either, and they are all free to try but must be bought.:confused:

thanks man, you're awesome! I think this splash is real simple and clean that someone made.:D

The mods I want, I just took from your night mode post and this link MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
I believe you you made it 10.01 to force upgrade if someone already has v32 10.0. So I would need 10.02?

ccfj1 03-17-2010 10:27 AM
Here you go

ccfj1 03-17-2010 05:53 PM
CD-r mate, best to burn on the OEM spec disc, it will work on a dvd-r but only recommended if the cd laser has packed up.

Worked like a charm! Splash looks fantastic! Thanks for everything ccfj1:thumbup:

Now time for me to play around see if i could figure out how to do it on my own:bustingup

Hi Chaps,

Seems this is the place to be for help on Upgrades. It's been very helpful reading through the informtion on here.

I've been attempting to update my MKII Navigation from the info provided in here. Just don't seem to be able to get the unit to read the CD I'm burning for the ISO File. From My PC, I can see the CD has the contents of the ISO file on it. But the Nav unit in the car just ejects it after a short period.

I've been using IMGBURN v2.5.1.0 to burn the CD. The CD(s - 4 to date) I'm using are Verbatim CD-R.

Are there any not so obvious things that need to be done? Open Boot, Open Drivers Door. Wait for lights to go out on NAv Unit. Eject Map Disk. Turn Ignition on. Insert Image CD. It's as far as I get as the CD ejects.

Any Help would be much appreciated.

KiwiJochen 03-31-2010 01:22 PM
make sure you are creating a CD from the ISO image, and not simply copying the ISO to the CD.

Also, if you already have the latest Mk2 OS, then no further upgrade is possible

Thanks for replying so quickly. It's this bit I think that confuses me and is why I listed the IMGBURN version. I don't seem to be able to see the woods for the trees on that phrase above. Do I Select "Write Image to disc" which seems the obvious one, or one of the other relevant options, which are "Create Image File From Disc", "Write Files Folders to disc" or "Create Image File From Files/Folders"

Just seem to have a mental Block on this one :confused:

As before, I do Appreciate your help on this. The software Version is 2-1/22.

KiwiJochen 03-31-2010 05:39 PM
newest is 2-1/80 so an update will help

ImgBurn:
Select "Write image file to disc"
Click directory icon next to Source: "Please select a file" and select the ISO file
then click the big button bottom left to make the CD

Andy_T 04-09-2010 06:38 AM
Thanks agin for the help.

It seems Windows 7 was the answer - It has an option from Right Click to burn the image to disc, which created a disc straight away that the Navigation Unit read and updated from.

Not sure what I was doing wrong with IMGBURN, but none of the 6 discs (and two different people who tried) would work.

I'm now updated. Thanks for your help on this.

nugga 04-10-2010 11:00 AM
Hello There.
WIll this update work on a BMW 530D from 2004 it's an E61
The Navigation computer is MK IV i think.

Roy in GA 04-10-2010 11:34 AM
E61 cars do not use the I-bus ver 32 disk, they are a Most-bus system and you get updated at the dealer. Also it does not have a MKIV computer. I think they call it the CCC system.

nugga 04-10-2010 01:32 PM
Ohh ty that's why it did not look like a MKIV system.
Do i need some special navigation software for it?

Hello,

Is this update Dutch spoken and does it have dutch menus ?
Also does this include all the mods available like 3d ?
I have an 2003 330d touring with a MK4 system, i would love to upgrade it with all the hot new stuff in dutch if possible.
Can or would you maybe make it for me ccfj1 ?


Thank you.

Kind regards,

Mixpower

X5 Meister 04-19-2010 08:41 PM
Unfortunately it's only in 2D or 4D. You can't select 3D. Also all menus are either Russian or Farsi, but you can custom mix the two and they pretty much come out sounding like Dutch. The worse part is that the map disk doesn't cover iceland, so there is no way to drive there unfortunately.

The Mk4 nav has native Dutch support (text and spoken voice)

So you just select NL in the language menu

If you don't have NL as an option, then use a standard BMW tool or my NavCoder to change the language settings to load the 3 x languages of your choice into the nav

And 3D view was available in the Mk4 from around V27 OS disc.
Current OS disc is V32 (4-1/00).
Have a look in your Settings screen, top right shows the software version, if you see 4-1/00 then you have the latest OS loaded.

I am somewhat a newbie to this type of thing, but I have a 2005 BMW 645ci, I live in the USA .... is it ok to install this v32 of the Nav firmware on my car, or is there a different version that I should be upgrading to ??? mine is the one with the DVD in the dash, under the CD player, with the screen located in the center of the dash at the top, and the "joystick" down near the shifter... Thanks for any help you can be, just dont want to mess up my car...

KiwiJochen 05-18-2010 12:54 AM
The 2005 645ci uses a different generation nav system and can only be updated by the dealer diagnostic system

The V32 OS disc will not work for you

Kanine 05-19-2010 02:03 PM
Just wondering if anyone can help? Have a mk iii which I updated with the v32 disc and key disc a while ago, however it was playing up so I thought that it might be an idea to reset and reupload the firmware. I reinserted the disc, it said to wait a few minutes, the screen went black, after 15 minutes it still stayed black so I restarted the car.

Now it seems like it's reset itself back to a very early rudimentary version, without satnav. Reinserting the disc won't force it to reupdate - nothing happens. Any ideas? Here's some screenshots.

KiwiJochen 05-19-2010 02:11 PM
The Mk3 has crashed and has no Os loaded.

You are viewing the graphics generated by the video module (also known as TV tuner). The video module has taken over because the nav is no longer communicating

The most common reason for deleting the OS in the Mk3 is using a Mode1 OS CD. This crashes the Mk3 during loading of the OS.

To correct the problem, ensure you use an OS disc that is in mode2/Form1.
Note that there have been no changes to the Mk3 OS since around V24, so any OS disc V24 and newer will work

But the OS format is vital.

If the Mode2/Form1 OS disc doesn't fix it, then the Mk3 has corrupt flash memory and needs to be reflashed - either by the factory repair center in Wetzlar Germany or by Autotronic in Australia

ccfj1 05-27-2010 04:43 AM
By posting in the nightmode thread mate not the OEM v32 thread...

Which file did you use for the update?

Hi!

I have a X5 from 2003 and today updated my MK4 from the original version to V27 and everything wnet smooth and is great - several improvements!

I dont want to upgrade further if nothing special, however I like having the most recent - therefore some questions:

1) Are there any big changes from V27 to V29.1?

2) I have read that V29.1 is the last upgrade for MK4 systems and that firmware versions after that want have any impact (even though you can use the updates) on a MK4 system - can someone confirm that? If not anyone who knows what change is from V29.1 to V32?

Thanks in advance!

Latest as far as i know is v31 - v32 is no updates for MK4. I dont know if perspective mode is enabled in 29.1

ccfj1 06-02-2010 09:15 AM
Perspective mode was available from v27 onwards.

Changes from older versions are, better routing algorithms, bug fixes and driver updates.

hello001 06-02-2010 09:21 AM
cool - thx

However I dont see any changes in graphics if Perspective is On or Off - could anyone post a screen shot of a Perspective view?

ccfj1 06-02-2010 09:37 AM
Perspective view = on. (in nightmode).

hello001 06-02-2010 09:42 AM
Wauw - mine is not looking as cool as that!

Actually my view is more or less like the old 2D "bird view" regardless I choose to have Perspective On or Of!

Any other settings I should change to get Perspective On?

ccfj1 06-02-2010 09:44 AM
Perspective mode needs to be enabled in 2 places,

1: The hidden setup menu.

Go to the menu screen select set (or settings) and hold menu button for 10 seconds, when the hidden menu appears scroll down until the perspective mode option is selectable.

Here is a video I made of how to get into the service mode.

YouTube - Secret menu on e46 sat nav

2: In the arrow map pointing menu.

Select GPS-Navigation, then Map, then push right button, select Map Positioning and there select Perspective

hello001 06-02-2010 09:47 AM
Ahhh....very cool indeed. I only enabled it on the hidden menu.

Can´t wait to try this out - will be back!

hello001 06-03-2010 04:15 PM
Just wanted to let you know that it works excellent - thanks for the guide and pics. Now I will find a V32 and try to update to this to get the newest for MK4.

ayy itss daveee 06-03-2010 11:43 PM
Hey guys, long time reader, first post.

Haven't updated my nav since V28, so it might be time to do that..

Right now I'm running V28 with an ///M Splash logo on my MKIV....

How can I upgrade to the latest without losing the ///M Splash?

And what are the best, or main, noticeable updates I will see from my current version?

ccfj1 06-04-2010 03:14 AM
Welcome to the forums.

You will need to extract your m logo splash and then insert it into the v32 (using navtweak).

Then burn a new OS and update you drive, have a look at the navtweak thread, its a sticky on the first page.

As for differences, bug fixes, driver updates, better routing algorithms, new icons, Dual layer dvd disc reading to name a few.

ayy itss daveee 06-04-2010 03:47 PM
Thanks,

I'm having trouble installing the navtweak program... I tried installing the Glade/GTK first but it won't let me install either. It says that .dll are missing, try reinstalling the application.

This could be because my PC is about 7 or 8 years old, my main machine now is a new iMac. Navtweak is not for Mac is it?

Is it possible for someone to insert the ///M splash screen in the V32 file and send it to me?

Shopview 07-05-2010 09:27 PM
Can a DVD-R be used to burn a NAV OS disc? Or only a CD-R?

Also for a MKIV system what is the current Navigation Disc for the US? It is in a 2002 X5 4.6is (upgraded from MKIII). I assume a High disc not Professional is needed as Professional is for iDrive?

KiwiJochen 07-06-2010 01:31 AM
To burn an OS disc you need to use a burner compatible with the media you are using, ie: a DVD writer can write CDs and DVDs.

You can burn the OS onto DVD or CD, both can be used in the Mk4 to load the OS.

Thanks Jochen, just burned a DRD-R after your info and it worked perfectly. Now I just need to learn how to use NavTweak to break the file down and change the logos.

hello all, im new to this updating mk4 navs, ive just managed to retro fit sat nav into my e39, i have updated the os from links on this forum,
v32, and night mode etc. all seems to be updated as i have perspective mode, night mode, speed cameras. but i do not have the option to use postcode search, gone through information, information on location,travel
but do not have uk postcode option.
i have what i believe is a 2010-1 high dvd map(copied) but this seems to be recognised ok. any ideas?
thanks all.

ccfj1 07-19-2010 09:31 AM
Sounds like you do not have the modded postcode disc mate, OEM is via the town/city field, modded is where you are looking.

Pimp My Nav, is an app that allows you to add new category's and entries in the POI menu of an OEM disc, it's the easy way to do it.

I did mine by hand ages ago and just update the POI (cameras, atm etc) as an when.

http://www.xoutpost.com/electronics/...mp-my-nav.html

I also have the disc poisoned so it has the alert DB too, (this gets updated once a month (like the POI cams)).

Hi ccfj1 and everybody else ...it is always a pleasure to jump into the forum from time to time, but it is summer time so I spend most of the time doing something else on the beach.
BTW, what is this modded postal code otpion? Can someone briefly explain what to mod?
Big thnaks as usual! :thumbup:

ccfj1 07-20-2010 04:32 AM
Postcodes are the UK version of the US zip codes.

On letters the postcode coupled with the house number will find its destination through our (UK) postal system, you don't need an address just the postcode and house number (or name).

With a map disc, the OEM Disc has a partial 5 digit postcode, where as (in most cases) all UK postcode are 7 digit.

So with the OEM 5 digit disc, you need the postcode and the street name/house number, with a modded 7 digit, you just need the code and the number.

tonybear 07-20-2010 06:24 AM
waiting for my pimp my nav, paid just waiting for what they do,
where do we get the postcode list from ccfj is it downloadable? and from where?:dunno:

DROPTOPKINGM3 08-21-2010 12:20 AM
Whats up guys? I downloaded the V31 Navigation update and ran it in my cd rom as found in this thread http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=210413 Page 6 shows that this update does not work in MKIII navigations. Unfortunately I did not read every page in that thread :( I have the MKIII and now that I did the update my screen is blank. I can hear FM/AM but cannot see anything. The CD in the cd-rom keeps ejecting itself and going back in. Is there any way to reverse this? Is my navigation fried?

Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks guys.

DROPTOPKINGM3 08-21-2010 05:32 AM
*****UPDATE*******
The latest firmware for the MKII/MKIII Navigation system is V22.1. versions above that are for the MKiV.
The cd was easy to burn; here is where I obtained info: BMW Navigation information | The Web Page of Kristopher Linquist
It gives you a full step by step. Just scroll down to MKIII and you'll find it there.
So heres the story:
Heres my old ugly software that I wanted to throw up whenever I saw
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...00818-0149.jpg
So as mentioned above I used someone elses update cd (which was for an MKIV) and messed up my whole system.
After making the cd, I put the cd in my drive. It stayed blank for about 30 seconds until I see "Press OK to start update" I was in shock.. Then I saw this
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...00821-0424.jpg
Then this:
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...00821-0429.jpg
Of course I hit another bump in the road :banghead:
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...00821-0430.jpg
No fear. I found a link to a copy of a "key cd" (some MKIII's need this to complete when doing a rather big update) .. ----> Heres the link http://www.e38.org/nav/BMW_NaviSoft_KeyCD_Clone_cd.rar[/URL] ...
Once it was complete the system rebooted and I see a BMW logo on the screen and all of a sudden I see this

WOW! What an upgrade. For years Ive been wanting to do this. Now I have split screen and updated graphics :drool: Thanks to those who helped me out :bow:

ccfj1 08-21-2010 05:40 AM
Nice one, glad to see you have sorted it out, what version were you running mate??

big bob 08-21-2010 06:13 AM
Do you do all your updates at night? :confused:

DROPTOPKINGM3 08-21-2010 01:11 PM
Im not sure which version I was running. It had to be earlier than v17 or 18. I have an early model MKIII which was running without split screen.

Does anyone know if v22 is the highest version? I doubt v32 can run on an MKIII, but can I still step it up to a higher version?

Bob - I normally dont work on my car that late at night, but its the weekend . I couldnt sleep unless I had my car back to normal.

kaansahbaz 08-23-2010 06:54 AM
Buy the original v32 cd from the dealer for $12 and insert the cd to nav player. It will restore and update it. Easiest way of doing it. Trust me

Sorry mate, if you have a mk3 then you have v22 (3-1/63), v32 is for the other nav units and is the revision of the OS disc not the OS it holds.

As long as you followed the correct burn procedure then just bung it in.

Procedure:

Select the write speed as the slowest rated speed for the disc, you must do this and then burn on a good quality cd.

When its finished writing your new firmware cd,
Go to the car open the drivers door,
Go to the nav computer and press eject on drive,
Eject the map disc,
Switch ign to pos 1, leave door open.
Insert firmware disc into drive, follow instruction on nav screen.
Wait (approx 6 mins) till sat nav asks to eject cd and reboot.
Eject cd, and remove from drive
Confirm reboot.

That's it.

Do not switch off ignition or close the door when doing the upgrade.

kristof28 09-06-2010 09:45 AM
thanks for reply
what extra features I will have due the upgrade ?
Also I want Dutch language , will I have this when I upgrade ?

thanks

For the mk3, not many mate, just driver updates.

For dutch, you need to recode you unit (use navcoder).

kristof28 09-06-2010 11:02 AM
hello
thnx ,but i have navcoder but could not find such cable :(
is there a other way to do this

First timer needing help with MK IV..
 
Hi all!

I have a 2003 E46 with MK IV and 4-1/12 (yes I know... :o), and I just recently became aware of the possibility of upgrading the FW(?) of the Nav.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me understand a few things:

1) What is the difference between FW, OS and SIB?
2) Do I need to update in a specific order? (via V20-something before V31/V32?)
3) Would the V32 be the best choice for my system?
4) I think my Map DVD is from 2002/2004 or something.., how do I get the newest most updated maps for my region? (Europe/Scandinavia)

Again, I would probably learn all this by reading all the threads and the thousands of posts in the forum, but I hope some kind expert would guide me in the right direction... ;)

They are different thing mate, FW = firmware, OS = Operating system, and SIB = service information bulletin.

Firmware usually means the software loaded onto IC chips etc, OS is the system that runs on the hardware. SIB is just spec and text based info.

Quote:
2) Do I need to update in a specific order? (via V20-something before V31/V32?)
No with a mk4 you can go straight to v32

Quote:
3) Would the V32 be the best choice for my system?
Yes.

Quote:

Buy online or go to your local dealer.

nilberg 09-10-2010 03:18 PM
Awesome. Thanks for clearing that up.
Is the FW the only thing that needs upgrading, or are there other OS upgrades as well?

ccfj1 09-10-2010 03:19 PM
Most people use FW and OS as the same thing mate (it's a general term).

nilberg 09-10-2010 07:05 PM
Yes! Worked like a charm!
Burned the V32 on 4x speed with MagicISO (Mode2), and followed the instructions mentioned earlier in this thread.

Cool video mate.

3D perspective mode, to enable this, Perspective mode needs to be enabled in 2 places,

1: The hidden setup menu.

Go to the menu screen select set (or settings) and hold menu button for 10 seconds, when the hidden menu appears scroll down untill the perspective mode option is selectable.

2: In the arrow map pointing menu.

Select GPS-Navigation, then Map, then push right button, select Map Positioning and there select Perspective

Here is a video I made of how to get into the service mode.

Range Rover Sport HSE 2006 - Europe
 
Hi!

I have an European Range Rover Sport HSE 2006.

The Nav Screen is not split. Not sure if is is a MKIII or MKIV. The DVD unit under the driver seat has a lock button on the right.

Would this v32 software work in my Nav? I've followed all the instructions (downloaded and burned the CD), but the screen says "Please insert a program DVD".

In the diagnostics view it says the actual version is V1070 (I used the 2009-2010 West-Europe Maps DVD, and it did an upgrade; but I haven't been able to upgrade to v32).

What upgrade version should I use?

Thanks for your help,

R

violafan 11-18-2010 01:41 PM
hello people, i have a problem...

i have an X5 2004-2005 with MK4 Navi in my trunk, with soft vers. SW4-1/30, and i try to update the soft to the last vers. 32, i burned some Verbatim CD with ImgBurn Mode1, speed 2x, but no luck, then i burned a Verbatim DVD with Nero, open my car, i put the keys in first step, set from menu on Navi, the inserted the DVD in my MK4, after some seconds, it's say Loading... then BLANK SCREEN, and nothing....:( the MK4 light go off, and i can't get the DVD out, after several pushes on eject buton the DVD commes out, i restart the car and now BANG... i have an old looking Menu,http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...00818-0149.jpg
with no Navigation active...

After i read here i think i have to turn the engine on when i try to upgrade...with and older version.

Please help me i can't sleep if i screw my car and i have to buy another Navi...

ccfj1 11-18-2010 04:08 PM
Burn the cd at the minimum RATED speed of the blank CD, so if the slowest speed is x4 use x4, if its x8 then use that.

make another cd and try again mate.

DO NOT FORCE X1 or X2 if that are not supported.

ccfj1 11-18-2010 04:13 PM
Follow this ***exactly***

Use imgburn or similar (The Official ImgBurn Website) to burn a new (blank) cd with the new downloaded firmware image.

v32 is the latest, but has no updates for the mk4 over v31.

Unzip imgburn, then v31 image and then open imgburn, and select the "write image file to disc" then select the v31.cue or v32.bin file, depending on download.

Select the write speed as the slowest rated speed for the disc, you must do this and then burn on a good quaility cd.

When its finished writing your new firmware cd,
Goto the car open the drivers door,
Goto the nav computer and press eject on drive,
Eject the map disc,
Switch ign to pos 1, leave door open.
Insert firmware disc into drive, follow instruction on nav screen.
Wait (approx 6 mins) till sat nav asks to eject cd and reboot.
Eject cd,
Confirm reboot.

That's it.

Do not switch off ignition or close the door when doing the upgrade.

Never ever use nero, and do not use a dvd, it will work, but is not recommended.

violafan 11-19-2010 01:11 PM
thanks man...i did it...before u reply me...

i burn a Verbatim DVD (the reason i burn a DVD is that i try with CD olso Verbatim but no luck) at 1x with V.31, start the engine...(i think thid was my mistake last time) and upgradet succesful.

i activated the Perspective View, but no changes...how can i see 3D buildings, i live in Romania, maybe there are no 3D buildings for this country...:)

p.s. i what to ask if its safe to do this on another friend bmw x5 car, if i use the same procedure, i don't whant to damage the car dvd navi, becouse the local bmw dealer it say that is dangerous, and i can damage for ever the dvd navi unit. What is the worst case scenario?

thanks again man

????? the map is 3d mate, not the terrain or buildings, that's only available is the newer CiC navigation.

Not 3d anywhere with mk4 mate. :)

ok man, about the upgrades...
if i use these steps, then nothing can be wrong ?! right..

1. Open driver door
2. Start the engine
3. Go to Menu - Set - (check Firmware Vers.)
4. Chose the new update CD/DVD vers.
5. Insert in DVD Navi in trunk
6. Follow the indication on screen
7. Eject the CD/DVD
8. Press OK
9. Restart

i mean that i can't damage the Navi Unit if i insert the new CD/DVD upgrades.
- i can damage the Navi only if i stop the engine during upgrade process ?
What NOT to do so u can successfully update your Navi.

thanks

As long as the OS have been burned correctly, Then that should be fine, (but that's no guarantee).

Goto the car open the drivers door,
Goto the nav computer and press eject on drive,
Eject the map disc,
Switch ign to pos 1, leave door open.
Insert firmware disc into drive, follow instruction on nav screen.

ccfj1 11-29-2010 04:20 AM
Got a link mate, as I doubt that this is an OEM version, bmw have confirmed that v32 (v31) was the last for the mk4.

I suspect that it is a home modded version.

dynoxjr 11-29-2010 08:02 AM

Sorry for a stupid question,
I'm new to the BMW world and just got a 2003 M5 and was wondering how do i check what version my Nav is and how do i go about getting a custom splash screen?

ccfj1 11-30-2010 04:44 PM
Press menu, then set, then look in the top right hand corner and you get the number there.

Current is 3-1/63 or 4-1/00 depending on what you have.

Search for splash screen for info how to change it.

HELP!! Update problems now black screen!!!!
 
First off I have a 2005 mk4 as follows: SW 4-1/50. Everything was working fine when I began the update. I followed the instructions and burned off the first copy of the v32 software using ImgBurn. However, I burned it at 10x, but it seemed to burn just fine. Also the image copy I downloaded was Mode1. I followed the instructions and got the update screen. However, it then said disc defective or whatever and said to hit ok. I did so and ever since then the display is permanently black now!!!! Oddly the ipod/FM and CD player all work. I tried loading it again and same update screen and error.

Thinking it was the Mode1 problem/10x burning problem, I downloaded the last link of the Mode 2 v32 image in this post and forced ImgBurn to burn at 2x. I loaded it in the player but this time no updating screen appeared. However, the orange light solidly turned on for some time then turned out. After about 10 minutes nothing else happened. The drive stopped making noise. Also the power led on the dvd unit doesn't come on no matter if I put a disc in or not. PLEASE help ASAP! I live in SD if anyone has a proper disc as evidently I don't know how to burn it correctly. I am willing to buy the 10 buck disc from the dealer but they said they only had one for the mk 3 and it was 36 bucks? I just wanted the newer perspective view mode! Please help. Thanks in advance!

Don't make things more complicated than they are--and don't use burnt CD's in your $20k + car...

You have the part # for the v32 upgrade CD. Take it to the dealer parts department and have them order it. Or go online at getBMWparts.com and paste in the part # and order it.

hypnotiqdmg 02-02-2011 11:14 AM
Quick question as I am at work and my X is inaccessible until I get home. I recently got 2010 updated nav discs and am tired of the old boring look of the nav. I have an MKIV with V32, is this hidden 3D perspective mode available without tweaking the firmware, or will I need to create a custom FW in order to achieve this 3D view?

Thanks guys,

I’m using your “V31_Night_all_mods_1010” and is working well I’m really happy but, I would like to change to V32 adding full postcode, speed cam etc. Do your V32 modded version is with Speed cam warning?? Could you forward link to your update??

igosal 06-27-2011 11:36 PM
I had 2005 map cd running in my MkIV system. I upgraded it to v32 using the download link provided here. Everything was fine and I even had Perspective mode. But today, I bought 2011 version maps DVD but when i put this DVD into drive, i get a message saying incorrect CD/DVD. Please help !! What do i need to do to have 2011 maps running. The part # for 2011 version is 65 90 2 199 843

UCrewX5 06-27-2011 11:42 PM
Did you get the HIGH version or the PROFESSIONAL version? One is for the i-bus based MkIV drive and the other is for the i-Drive vehicles (2007 and newer). It sounds like you may have the wrong version.

igosal 06-27-2011 11:53 PM
Thanks for bringing it up !! Yes, I bought a professional version !! What do i do now? I am not going to return it as I got a pretty good deal. Maybe I'll try to swap it and if nothing else, I can always resell it..... I was so excited to use it and get all the new features... :(

toadhall1248 06-28-2011 12:00 AM
Definitely the wrong part number. You need the high version for Mk IV, and you have the Professional (CCC) version.

2011 BMW Navigation Map - HIGH (p/n 65 90 2 199 841)

I just bought a 2005 X5 with nav and DSP, and it only came with one DVD and it's for the West Coast (I live on the East Coast). I've been to the United States version of this website (bmwnav.net) and want to know if there's anything missing here. Looks like they're offering a firmware update (V32.2) along with a new set of maps for $49.99. Will this bring me current? I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject, but can't seem to find a good explanation of how all this works. I'm used to using a Garmin, but this built in Nav stuff is new to me. :dunno:

So, basically what I'd be paying for is someone to burn a DVD, AND current maps? The maps alone would be worth it, unless there's a source for me to download those as well. Any suggestions?

By paying the guy you are actively supporting software piracy.
The seller is selling you copies of maps for a profit. That's blatant piracy.

The original V32 OS CD costs around $10 USD at the dealers, or can be downloaded for free here:

Original map prices vary according to where you are in the world. Contact your BMW dealer.

Oh sorry, I'm still unfamiliar with how all this nav software works. I know you can buy new discs from BMW, but I see all kinds of map discs on the Internet and don't know how they differ, or what's ok to use. I haven't found a BMW navigation FAQ that covers this sort thing (software updates, tweaking, map discs, etc.).

It's not specific to BMW.

If someone is selling Rolex watches for $49 each, when you know they cost $400 new, would you not be suspicious? Would you support that trade?

I asked for help, not to be berated due to lack of familiarity on my part. I have owned this particular vehicle for only a couple of weeks and I'm merely trying to learn about what I have and what options there are to make it current. There was no intent to support piracy.

Now, what would actually help me is to provide suggestions on the best way to bring my system current and any tweaks (3D, night mode, etc.) that I might enjoy. At this point, all I know is that I need updated OS v32 and a set of map discs. Beyond that, I'm not sure I'm aware of what else I can do. I enjoy electronics and am interested in tweaking my system, so I'm eager to know what the possibilities are.

Load the standard unmodified V32 first to bring your system up to 4-1/(1)00
3D is part of the standard BMW OS, it is not a hack

Insert whatever map disc you want for your area

Then decide which of the various hacks you want to load.
Night Mode is a hack (use NavTweak)
Audible Speed Camera Warnings is a hack (use POIsON)
Over POI lists is a hack

Remember that MKIV/III/II/I use the High map NOT the professional. I think High is blue and the other is green. All will use CDs and the MKIV will also use DVDs.

David D 07-12-2011 10:32 PM
Thank you very much guys! That gets me moving in the right direction. I'll get the current OS and go from there.

Well, I got myself a 2011 High DVD now and it doesn't work either. I updated my OS to V32 and my old map DVD works fine. Any ideas why this new DVD is not working? I am getting a message, "Error in reading Map CD/DVD. Please check the CD/DVD".

Did you get the HIGH version or the PROFESSIONAL version? One is for the i-bus based MkIV drive and the other is for the i-Drive vehicles (2007 and newer). It sounds like you may have the wrong version.

the message form the DVD reader is selfexplaining. There are errors in the Map CD/DVD..easy and simple...is this a copy or an OEM DVD...burn another one paying attention to the whole procedure. Differently it may be an old laser lens...

Well, this one time stealer's parts manager really impressed me. He exchanged the Professional series DVDs for High series and that too free. I came home, checked it out and it is working like a charm. The only thing is that there is no option for Red light cameras. My OS is v32 and maps are 2011. Could it be a Canada thing?

igosal 08-05-2011 09:23 AM
Well, I found an answer to my earlier question. The original version doesn't come with Red Light and speed camera alerts. These are available from the ones who sell copies....

I've gotta be missing something here... I've read this thread high and low and still can't get this to work...

I downloaded this link...
BMW Navigation OS - v32 (Night Mode, Camera Alerts, M Logo) from neiloakley.com.


There are 3 files in the folder: .bin, .cue, and .toc


I burned all three files to a cd on my mac at the slowest speed, followed all the installation instructions, and the car just wont read the disc. It says "inappropriate cd" I've gotta be doing something wrong.


All help appreciated.



****EDIT****** Got it all figured out, just had to use my 7 year old PC instead of my brand new mac haha. Downloaded imgburn and just opened the cue file with it and voila!


Now I just have to find the most recent map disc. 2011 High East Coast w/ Red Light Cameras/Speed Traps?

The only differences I see with this upgrade is that my M splash screen is a smaller image than before(the bigger one was better imo), and I have the "night mode" color scheme... I upgraded from SW81..Were there any other major differences I should have noticed?

Also, I'm still running the map disc from 07 or 08...

Because you are using a hacked OS, and not an original BMW issue, then the changes made to the OS are those that the hacker decided to make.

If he never documented the changes he made, how can we know what they are?

Ask the person that generated the hacked OS....

ayy itss daveee 09-07-2011 01:00 AM
It was listed as the V32 upgrade, with the addition of Night Mode, M Splash, and Camera Alerts.

What are the upgrades I can expect to see from the previous version I was using, SW81?
