Hi guys,

I've done many V32 Updates on the MK4s with the 16:9 screen.

Now I have a friend with the small radio-navigation system.
Looks like that:

In the trunk there is an ordinary MK4 computer. Can I update this kind of Satnav with the ordinary V32 CD? If yes, anything special about it, something to take care of? And does it make sense - what new features will you get on that small arrow-navigation-system?

Thanks in advance

The factory Ver. 32 disc updates a MKIV color unit to SW 10.0 and a MKIV Radio nav to SW 10.0 also. I have never done a radio nav but expect the procedure is the same as for a color nav. Maybe kiwi (the Navcoder guy) or Didi could verify this. They are on this board and in your area also.

Don't see why not. As far as features are concerned, it really depends on how old the current operating system is. At some point during the lifecycle they improved route mapping, so that would be at least one benefit, again assuming the existing firmware predates those kind of updates.

Help needed
 

Hello,

A couple weeks ago i have bought a new car..
I never updated a navigation system before and would like to ask a few questions..

I have bought a X5 3.0i 2004/10..
I dont know what version of navigation system i have.
How can i check what i have? do i have a mk1 mk2 mk3 or mk4?
Can someone help me to update my navigation system?

Thanks...

congratulations on the ride!!! welcome to the forum... we want pics!!! take pictures of your car, post it here, for all to see!!!


on the main menu screen, select settings... look at the top right corner of the screen, it should have a number... 3-1/20 or something like that ...

the first number is the MK - if you have MK4, then the number will be 4
the next number is your display, it should be obvious and thus irrelevant - if the is 1 - it is monochromatic (black and white), if it is 2- it is color... you know that already...

last 2 digits are the software/firmware... the latest for MK4 is V32, which is listed as version 100, and the numbers are "00"

check the number first, then lets see what you need next...

I have checked the version and it says.. Sw 4-1/91..
Can i download and install fw version 32 directly or do i first need to do some other updates? And what are the improvements? Tommorrow i post screens of my car cause couldnt take them today because of the rain.. Hope u can help me.. Ty

check with your local dealer for part number 01 59 0 141 891... it is about 10 US dollars, it is the update firmware, directly from the manufacturer, so there is no need to download it from some dubious sites

Today i updated my navigation system to v32.. All went well works like a charm ty for the information.

you are welcome...

did you get your perspective view activated? that is probably the most noticable upgrade over the older vesions... although, you might have had it with the version 91... (was it v.27? i don't remember... lol..)

Yes i did get that view working. Got it in the secret menu when i pressed the menu button for 10 seconds. Put the new 2013 maps in and works.. Im planning to go to vacation to turkey but cant find the map of turkey anywhere, does it excist or am i searching for something that doesnt excist? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
