This is the reason you have to load the V32

gr. Appy

It's actually the reason you have to load at least V31.

NO,

INFORMATION
With the introduction of the navigation system operating software V32, there are currently 2 valid versions of navigation software:
Navigation system operating software V17.1 is used on MK III systems without the "split screen".
Navigation system operating software V32 is used on MK I, MK II, MK III navigation systems with split screen, DVD-Top navigation systems (MK IV) on I-Bus vehicles and NAVI01, NAVI02, NAVI03 on E65/E66 vehicles.

Official software MK4 is the V32 version.

How i shoud burn the image.

I was referring to Mk4.
V32 SIB says:

CORRECTION
Navigation system operating software should be updated under the following circumstances:

* There are no corrections or new data for the US market included.

whereas the V31 SIB says:

CORRECTION
Navigation system operating software should be updated under the following circumstances.
NAVI03 and DVD-Top NAV system improved software for:

Reading Dual Layer DVD
Loading voice files

Actually, the link points to version v31!

Hi,

I was following the earlier thread and noticed that it said you should make sure the iso was in Mode 2 format. I downloaded the file above and extracted the file (NAV_SW(v32).iso) and noticed in Nero that is says it is a Mode 1 file.

Is it still safe to use?

In a Mk4 it is fine

do NOT use it in a Mk3, it will crash the Mk3.

I have v31 in my MK4 and use Europe high version 2008-2 burned on a double layer disc and my navigator become very slow when I am changing some adresses and even when I am scrolling in the meny . When I put in a modded DVD 2008-2 burned on a regular DVD the navigator is normal again. Is the v32 a fix for this problem?

No, V32 contains no change to the Mk4 software on V31.

Both V31 and V32 contain 4-1/100

The slowdown in response is most likely related to the increase in data on the disc (dual layer holds more data)

To incease speed of disc access do the following:

1. Use an original BMW disc, not a copy. It is read faster by the nav, and speeds up operation of the nav

2. Use a single-layer DVD.

I have a 2004 M3 and I'm wanting to upgrade my navigation. I'm really confused about all the jargon being used, and would really appreciate it if someone would take the time and help me out. I downloaded the v31 update and installed it in my car fine, but now I need the actual updated navigation dvd. I just saw that the v32 update is out, so should I download that? Please do not tell me to search, because I have been for days, and have burned multiple dvds that have not worked. I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks.

And what about the navcoder I keep seeing, does that have anything to do with my navigation system?

Does anybody actually care about the fact that it is not v32 that's available in the OP?

V.31 adds dual layer DVD reading... does that mean we can use the nav data disks that come with new, iDrive cars or are they just working off a different database?

Hi Obioban,

Welcome to the forum mate, nice to see you over here :)

No Mate, the I-drive cars use the PRO map discs, our cars use the HIGH, all discs after 2008-2 will probably be supplied on a DL discs from now on, for both PRO and HIGH.

The map Database is the same (AFAIK) but the formatting is slightly different.

HTH

OK, so here's a few points I'd be grateful for some clarification on :-

The MkIII unit that I removed from my 2002 E53 was running V22 (3-1/63) when I replaced it with a Mk IV unit. My Mk IV is running V31.

The mention of "Navigation system operating software V32 is used on MK I, MK II, MK III navigation systems with split screen" is confusing me a little as I thought V22 was the final development for Mk III units.

I've never had any problems downloading/burning/installing the different mods, so is it worth temporarily refitting my Mk III unit just to do the mod?

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.

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?

The BMW Nav OS disc contains the current version software for Mk1, Mk2, Mkl3, Mk4, NAVI01, NAVI02 and NAVI03 nav systems.

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.

Jochen - thanks for answering those questions for me.

With regard to my old Mk III unit running 3-1/63, I should have added that V22 is what I installed immediately before taking it out and fitting a Mk IV, and it's been sat here in my office waiting to go on eBay ever since.

From what you say about this update affecting only NAVI03 I'm not going to bother updating either of my units, they're at 3-1/63 and 4-1/00 so there's no point.

I'll remember the Mode2/Form1 issue for next time.

Thanks again. :thumbup:

sorry guys new to this im a littl lost i dont know what nav i have it's in a 04 330 zhp dont know if it's mk4 or mk3, i downloaded the file wanna know it it's safe to put it in my nav and how do i burn it on dvd and put it in the dvd drive or on cd and put it in the headunit. :banghead:. navi in menue sais SW4-1/30 if that helps

You have a Mk4 nav (4-1/xx) computer with very old software (4-1/20).

Current version is 4-1/100

Updating your nav is highly recommended and easy to do.

Download the V31 or V32 image (both contain 4-1/100 Mk4 software)

Burn with a CD image buring program - I recommend ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com).

Eject map CD
Turn ign on (but leave engine off)
Insert OS CD
Follow onscreen instructions - do NOT turn off ign during update process!
Remove CD when it is ejected and click OK to reboot
Voila!

Spool - you can then enjoy the 'Perspective View' experience!

wow just did it thanks i love it my map just changed the colors and evrythign its better now

i heard there is a 3D view of the map somhow dontknow how to do it tho i guess maybe i need the new maps also

I installed the V31 in my 04 e46 and noticed a little difference in the look, but i'm not finding this perspective view people are talking about. Also, I'm in need of the updated navi disc to accompany my v31 update.

To obtain perspective view follow the instructions given here by ccfj1 in post number 6.

Hello all,

read all post about v31 and now about v32, and still have 2 questions:

1. in forum found this advice "Burn a new V31 and measure the errors and do a surface scan before you use it.". Could you please advice what software to use to do that?

2. in forum found "5. DO NOT SWITCH OFF THE IGNITION DURING UPDATE PROGRESS, otherwise you'll kill your navi". My question - if it happans that upgrade was not succesfull and I get black screan, what to do next? Is my navigation hardware then useful, need buy new one? or I just have to try update it again?

thank you
Aivaras, Lithuania

I use Nero CD-DVD Speed

Options:

1. Send nav to VDO for repair (re-flash)
2. Throw nav away
3. Cry

The MKIII is prone to damage if the power is disconnected before it powers down and the red lights go off. I don't think the MKIV has this problem. Do not open/close doors while doing a SW update as it will cause a voltage blip. Just leave the trunk and door open until you finish.

This happened to me recently because I think my nav doesn't like a Sony CD writer that I tried. It put up a message to the effect that the "Update failed". Then there was only a black screen. I then simply loaded an older upgrade CD that had worked in the past, and it installed that version without any problem.

v32 with a navi02
 

I might be missing something... Hoping someone can help.

I just ran the v32 upgrade. Seemed to load just fine and now the software read 8.4.4 (for the navi02). I assume it is loaded, but the accept screen still doesn't go away after any period of time (I got the impression updates after v28 had the timed remove feature).

Also, the OS software reads as FF.FF.FF hex. Is this correct? Should the accept screen be going away?

I'd prefer not to do the downgrade -> upgrade method if I can avoid it

Okay, I understand what everyone has said here, but my experience does not match what's been said.

Have Mk3 version 3-1/20 (I guess original from 12/00 build date) - bought V32 - loaded software successfully - the screen then came up with "insert key CD or version 17" - I ordered V17 (index 'x'), but it hasn't arrived yet - the BMW mechanic had V17 (index 'u') - we loaded that successfully and software version came up 3-1/30 - we reloaded V32 to see if it would update to 3-1/63(?) - again, screen came up with "Load key CD or version 17" - so again we inserted V17 - and again, software ended up at 3-1/30

What's wrong?

Maybe you have to update from 3-1/20 to v24... (I remember it is an USA version for update and recover the MK's). Once you have successfully updated. try to load the v32.

http://www.bmwcarx.com/web/Descargas...V_24.0_USA.zip

Latest update for MK-3 for European (I think) is:

http://www.bmwcarx.com/web/Descargas/BMW%20V_22.0.zip

Apologies if I'm wrong, but people got recover their MK Unit

Regards,
Manu.

You need to use the Key CD. This is a separate CD, and is different to the OS CD.

Once you have used the Key CD you can go beyond V17. Without Key CD, you are stuck at V17 or earlier.

Google is your friend here...

You will get to 3-1/63 with any Version of 22 OR higher but it will then ask for the key. Do what kiwi says. When you are below or at 17 you need the key to get higher.

Upgrade Mk.II v. 16
 

Does anyone know how far I can upgrade my mk.II v. 16?
Will version 32 work?

For MKII you need any Version 21 OR higher to go to 2-1/81. No key needed.

OK - I finally have it straight - for the MK3, if you don't have the key CD, then it will load no higher than V17 (3-1/30) - you need the key CD and V22 (or up to V32) to get to 3-1/63 - I maybe slow, but I do get there - cd on order

Did not work!
 

I downloaded v.32 from the link in this thread, but i did not work in my MK.II v.16.
I followed these steps and burned the image with Nero (lowest speed-4x):
1. Put the ignition in position 1.
2. Ejected the navigation cd
3. Put the version 32 cd in, and waited until it ejected automatically.
4. Put the navigation cd back in the drive.

But it still says 2-1/60.

Why? Can anyone help me please?

I think I have SW4-1/70 (which includes perspective mode btw). Does anyone know what changes were introduced to bring SW to 1/100?

Since updating my MKIV unit with version 31 my TMC function is no longer working. The graphic still lights up green but it will not deliver me any messages. I have checked that the RDS and TP functions are selected in the radio menu. If I switch off the TMC function in the Nav menu and then switch it back on it just says, searching for messages but then fails to proceed any further.

I've been trying for days now to fix this problem but am well and truly stuck.

Try rebooting the car (battery disconnect, wait 10min, reconnect)

Otherwise:
1. checking coding of nav eg with NavCoder
2. check TMC messages exist using NavCoder
3. pray

Never mind, I did the update and all went well but I would still appreciate it if someone could tell me what changes were done since 4-1/70?

Hi,
I've an MKIV with a radio navigation (monochrome) like here http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/2252/navz41xx.jpg
Can I use this firmware, too, in order to use the new double layer map dvds?
thanks in advance,
Capsad

I would think so because Ver. 31 says it changes both Rad. and Top(color) to 10.0. 4-1/100 and 4-2/100.

Hey guys, I'm new to this and I'm a little confused. I have a MK IV unit so is it OK to load V32? Or do I have to load V31 since it is the one with changes for MK IV? Also, since the MK IV is DVD based, do I have to burn the image file on to a DVD or can I burn it on a CD? If burning on either is fine, which one is more preferable, DVD or CD?

Sorry for the n00b questions and TIA.

The BMW OS discs contain OS software for 7 (seven) different nav models, from those released in 1994 to the current model in the E65

V32 contained changes for the E65 nav, and no changes for any other navs.

This means that V31 and V32 both contain the identical OS version for the Mk4, being 4-1/100

You can use either V31 or V32, the result is the same.

The Mk4 will read CDs or DVDs, the OS disc is normally on a CD, but will load equally well from a DVD. But just leave it on the CD, its easier.

KJ, if I understand correctly, the only substantive change between 1/70 and 1/100 were changes in the input?

No, the substantive changes were:

1. Bug fixes for the Z4 and X3 with the flip-up display.
2. Compatibility with new map versions (dual-layer DVDs)
3. And some minor menu stuff

Won't work in my MK.II
 

I downloaded v.32 from the link in this thread, but it did not work in my MK.II v.16.
I burned the image with Nero (lowest speed-4x) and I followed the loading software instructions. But it still says 2-1/60.

When I ejected the map cd, the message "no navigation cd" was displayed. And when I inserted the software cd, nothing appeared on the screen.

Does anyone have an idea of what's wrong?
I've read somewhere that it should be burned with 2x speed...

Remember that all you need is any OS disk of Ver.21 OR higher to get the max of 2-1/81 for a MKII.

can someone please advise where to download V32 from?

the link at the start of the thread takes to V31.
i have noticed that when i tried to upgrade from V31 to V32 - the car did not upgrade.

please help to find a download link for V32

Filename : NAV_SW(v32).rar
Description : bmw v32 software
Filesize : 97.54 MB

Looks pretty much like v32 to me.

but when you open it with gif extractor you will see that it says V31

secondly, it will not upgrade a navi which has V31 - it happens when the software is not newer that the one already installed.

so i repeat - did anyone actually upgraded from V31 to V32?

Strange!

did anyone actually upgraded from V31 to V32?

Nav V31/V32 changing speech style?
 

Hi..

Just did update; all smooth. Thanks.

The NAV speech changed, however. Example:

Used to be: "Turn Right to take I-80 East"
Now: "Turn Right to take I-80 E"
It says "E" not "East"...

Second Example: For CA-280
Used to be: "Follow C-A-Two-Eighty" (normal English speech)
Now: "Follow C-A-Two-Eight-Zero" (not so conversationally friendly)

Last example of: I-585 South bound:
Used to be: "Turn left to get on I-Five-EightyFive South"
Now: "Turn left to get on I-Five-Eight-Five-S"

Ouch!!

I can't fix it. Does anyone know how to tweek this?


Thanks a million!

The only car that benefits from a V31 to V32 change is the E65 7-series

For the Mk4 nav, both V31 and V32 contain 4-1/100, so no upgrade is possible as the software has not changed.

Hi,

Did you check this post?

http://www.xoutpost.com/navigation-sy...mac-toast.html

Regards,
Manu

ok, i see - thanks a lot!

yes, i did - thanks

those links are blocked already

Does anyone have v32 update that could email me or mail me a copy I would gladly pay for your postage,
Thank you.

The original disc is available at BMW for about USD $10. Why bother with dodgy copies?

Can anyone email me the V32 file as I am having trouble getting this file. If it is winrar I can expand it from there

can someone help me get v32 on my MKIV system.
I would pay for the file upgrade or if someone wanted to email the file, Please help johnnybel

What's wrong with the link on page 1? :dunno:

I've probably done this in the past but my advancing years have blurred my memory; when I download v32 from the first post link it arrives as a WinRAR file which in turn then extracts as a MagicISO file. I had some Mk III issues tonight and found my unit would only load Nero (.nrg) formatted updates, not ISO ones. Can I ask how to get a Nero file from the downloaded WinRAR file?

I have v21.1 and v31 in both ISO and Nero formats but can't remember how I did it, unless I downloaded the Nero format from elsewhere. :dunno:

Looking for the V32 disk does anyone have one I could purchase

BMW have brand new, non-copied discs for about $10 USD each.

Link?
 

Do you have a link where I can buy it?

Your local BMW dealership.

My local BMW dealer won't sell me the cd, but they will upgrade my system for approx. 200 USD. It's expensive in Norway!!

Do you have a MKIV or MKIII? If MKIII you only need Ver.22, if MKIV then Ver. 31 or 32. Download it or ask someone outside of Norway to send it to you. Ask Eismark on bimmerboard.com e38 board. He is in Denmark and might help you.

:wow: and I thought we had some big ripoff dealers here in the USA

My version only has deutsch & american language, or I'd send you mine - I still need it until next week when I get my Mk4 installed - I'd find another dealer, if I were you - l'll be offline for a week, but if you want it, I'll check in when I get back

The BMW P/N for the Ver. 32 SW update disk is 01 59 0 141 891 "Index Y". The Ver. 31 disk has the same P/N but also "Index X".

I have a MKII. I have downloaded ver.31 and 32, but they won't work. I don't think that the navigation station read's the disc's I have burned. I don't know what I do wrong.
Any advise?

Hi everyone. New to the forum.I need some help please. The maps DVD I have is the 2008/1 so I am quite happy with the version. My screen though reads SW 4 1/50 which I suppose is too old a software. My local dealership wants a lot of money to upgrade my system, so I thought I might do it myself. Is it safe for me to upgrade the software myself, does anyone you know?I am OK with the process of how to download and burn the image etc, I am just a bit unsure on whether I need to upgrade the firmware. I have read about problems with stuck CDs etc, and I am a bit apprehensive about going on with the upgrade. Could anyone tell me what the benefits would be if I was to upgrade? I am a bit frightened to have a go, just in case I muddle things up. Please help! Thanks!

I think you should definitely install the latest update.

First of all, check here to see all the history you need regarding the changes since 4-1/50, the most significant of which is Perspective Mode which you don't have.

If you're confident with downloading files and burning images then you shouldn't have any real problem. The install process in your car is very straightforward as long as you follow the procedure exactly.

The file in the very first post of this thread will download as a 97.5MB (or thereabouts) .rar WinRAR file. When extracted you will have a 250MB (or thereabouts) .ISO file. Burn this image to a disc using MagicISO, ImgBurn, Nero or whatever in Mode 2. Once burned, open the disc to view the contents, you should have approximately 13 folders and 41 files immediately visible, the majority of the files are SoftConfig.table files. These figures only relate to this v32 disc of course, but it's just a rough confirmation check that you've burnt the disc correctly.

The install procedure is described in many locations on here, and is as follows :

1) Open tailgate and driver's door and leave open
2) Go to the boot and wait for the red light on your nav unit to go out, which may take a couple of minutes, be patient!
3) Eject the map disc, I've found that you need to press the eject button twice to do this, once to wake the unit up and once to eject the disc
4) Go back to the front and switch the ignition to position 1 - DO NOT close the driver's door!
5) Return to the boot and insert your newly-burned software disc
6) Look forward and observe the screen, it may go black for a few seconds and should then show "Software will update"
7) The update process will start and a progress bar will appear at the bottom of the screen, this phase may take up to 6 minutes
8) When the "Reboot" screen eventually appears, eject the software disc, go to the front and confirm reboot by pressing the right hand button
9) Return to the boot and insert the map disc.

Don't rush the process, if your screen goes black and doesn't start the update process (Step 6) after 10 minutes or so then you have a problem, however, if you're methodical with the entire process, right from the file download point, then all should be absolutely fine.

You will probably then want to carry out the next few steps :

1) Log onto X5 World and ask how to select Perspective Mode :rofl:
2) Select Perspective Mode, the majority like it but a handful don't
3) Log onto X5 World and tell us all that you've fallen in love with your nav system all over again, and that you can't believe you haven't done this before!
12) Feel proud that you've just saved yourself the huge amount the Dealer was going to charge!

I think that's about it, I'm sure others will probably fine tune the process above. Additionally, which 2008-1 disc do you have and does it have i-TMC? (aka Traffic Messaging) this is indicated by the presence of "TMC" at the bottom middle of your nav screen. If not, there's a few of us who can point you in the right direction to get the latest 2008-2 disc with i-TMC.

If you're not confident with the download and burning process, the same source above will also provide you with disc v32.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have TCM on my 2008/1. I noticed though that with 2007/2 I was able to chose direction of travel for the pointer, now it is only due north. Is it because of my old software? I would not say no to 2008-2 version though, if someone could offer it to me. I am a bit tight on money at the moment (new baby comming) so I cannot really spend much for it. Will try an update I think, although I would appreciate a screenshot or two comparing ''perspective mode to the one I have to see if it is worth it, since you say this is the main noticeable difference...

Thanks again!

I'm just guessing here, but I believe some map discs need a certain level of software to run correctly, this maybe why your 2008-1 won't give you direction of travel. Someone else will no doubt confirm or deny that.

You should definitely carry out the update. Although Perspective view is an obviously significant visible change there are bound to be several 'background' improvements which you would benefit from.

The first few pictures HERE show how your screen will look during the software update procedure, and pictures 5 to 8 HERE give an idea of what Perspective view is like. Ignore the first few pictures in the second link as UCrewX5 was loading a v26 beta update version, so you will not see the screenshots in pictures 3 and 4 during a normal update. In picture 8 the zoom level is 2.5 miles, but the view is better the more you zoom in. I'm sure there are better Perspective pictures elsewhere on here, have a look around.

thanks a lot for that. This looks good. i think i will upgrade. If only I was less worried about messing my navigation system up I would have done it already...Thanks again!

As long as you go about it the correct way I'm sure there'll be no problems.

Thanks. You mentioned mode 2 in Nero, but for some reason i can only get mode 1. I used Clone Cd and it burned correctly, if the '13 folders, 41 files' are any proof that things worked. It should be OK then, it seems the CD burned fine.What are the main reasons for CDs getting stuck in the unit? I have read that this is a problem hard to overcome. Certainly my local dealership would love to charge me through the nose to rectify this, should anything goes wrong. This is what worries me the most, as I am really tight with money these days. I am looking forward to your reply. Thanks for your time and effort, mostly appreciated.

P.S: I own a 330 Si Se, not an X5

In Nero StartSmart, select "Nero Burning Rom" in the applications menu on the left hand side of the screen. The main window will come up as well as "New Compilation" window, in this window select the ISO tab and the top "Data mode" box is where you select Mode 1 or Mode 2. Use the other tabs to set the appropriate criteria such as burn speed etc, then click on the "Open" tab in the bottom right of the window, locate the downloaded ISO file and burn it.

However, you seem to have done OK with CloneCD, you can crosscheck your procedure with the CloneCD method and screenshots HERE

Here is some advice from KiwiJochen on another thread :

Do not burn at 1x.
Burn at the lowest speed supported by your media that you use.
If you try to burn at a speed not supported by your media, you will get a bad burn.

After the burn do a surface scan and error check using eg Nero DiscSpeed

A perfect CD has:
1. Good surface scan
2. Zero C1 and C2 errors.

In reality a few (around 100 or so) C2 errors occur.

With regard to CDs getting stuck, this normally afflicts Mk III units when a Mode 1 CD is used to try and update the software, the unit simply crashes. On Mk IV units Mode 1 or 2 is fine.

To release a stuck CD the 3 minute method works fine and can be found HERE

I used a Cd I burn on 4x speed in Alcohol 120%
This is what the test revealed. I guess this is a fail? :dunno:

I can see the contents of the CD in my computer though, so I am really confused....

I did the test on a different disk I burned on clone CD at speed 1x and these are the results:

It might be OK, but before you stick the disc in your nav I'd wait for one of the experts on here to comment on those results.

I didn't go that in-depth as I've no idea where to find C1/C2 error info in Nero, ImgBurn or MagicISO

By the way, time for a question for you, how do you capture screenshots like that?

Hi, I have a X5 3.0i imported from UK, the Nav is 4-1/50, I bought a Map CD which contain Malaysia and Singapore Map, insert into the dvd drive, it work instantly BUT is 2D, Could any one share with me if I could upgrade to 3D?? do it need to change the Map cd too? thanks..

loksim - you are in the same position as psyxologos, 3D (or Perspective view) came in with 4-1/60 so to get that you will need to update. What version is your map disc and is it a CD or a DVD?

The different software updates and the effects they had can be found HERE.

Thanks for that. I will wait and see what the people in this forum say. Screenshots can be obtained from nero DVD/CD speed after the results show up. You have to click on a save icon on the top right of the box and then click paste on micrsoft paint or similar.

Hi Jaycee,
Appreciate your reply, I check the disc, it's blank, no label, not sure is cd or dvd, do you know how to check?

updated today. Worked like a treat. I am a happy chappy!

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thum bup:

Loksim - Update your unit to 4-1/00 as psyxologos has done and see how your map disc works after that. If the disc is blank who knows what it is. :dunno:

psyxologos - Excellent, we await your views on Perspective view. We can then give you a few more options using Navtweak!

I had a quick look when I updated. It is fine! What I enjoy the most is the change in colours. This is quite a significant improvement...

What do you mean you will give me a few more options using Navtweak?

As far as I understand, Navtweak is a program that changes the map software to add pictures, change colours etc. But to do this i have to

a) buy the Navtweak software

b) rip a map disk and add these features.

What sort of changes are we talking about? Aesthetic changes or operational ones?

psyxologos - NavTweak is used to change parts of the 'navboot' file that is on the v32 disc you burned, and not map discs. It can be downloaded from the link in the first post HERE. I believe it's still free to use.

Check out post number 93 HERE for the Perspective view "Angle Wing", I changed the pointer on mine and aesthetically it is infinitely better. The open section at the top provides a clear view of the road ahead. You can also change your splashscreen, there are lots of options HERE.

However, it's probably better to get used to running with what you have at the moment and consider any further changes later.

Thanks! You are right, I do not think I will be fiddling with these things any time soon. I had a right hearth throbing when I inserted the OS disk to the drive today, I do not think i will be attempting anything adventurous soon!

;)

Hi psyxologos
I'm so excited to learn you have successfully gone thru the whole thing, I'm prepare to try but where should i start, where to download the V32?

try the first page in this thread. Download the image, burn it using imageburn OR clone CD OR Alcohol 120% make sure you burn it to the lowest speed available to you (and supported by your medium). do not worry so much about the quality tests, mine were miles off the mark and the CD still worked.

Follow the instructions Jaycee gave on the previous page, and it should work without any problems!

Hi Jaycee, finally I just down loaded the V32, I follow exactly the step of burning the CD, not sure if the content is OK, I'm quite worry something goes wrong after I try up date my SW4-1/50, if it really happen, what should I do, can I revert to the original version??? Oh dear, I tot I never ask this question, I saw many did.

please If you can be allowed to file another link
Because I can not download from the site megaupload

Why can you not download from the link, it's very easy!

When I go to the site showed me this page
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3171/...cd0be0e0e8.jpg
I have a site rejected by the service provider

You will see it says : "If you believe the requested page should not be blocked please click here"

So you know what your next step is. :yawn:

I Will mobilize their report only

edit: Nvm found it
Quick q, i have a custom spash screen, will an update remove that back to genetic "bmw"?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IP0KD0O0
This is the exact address , I downloaded it in Malaysia,

Yes it will. To keep your custom splash screen you must modify the navboot file whenever you download a new software version. :thumbup:

Yes, if the update is a higher version OS than what you have currently installed.

eg: if your custom OS is labelled 4-1/101, then a new version of 4-1/100 will not update it.

i tried to update Mini (MK3) with v32 CD and it died on me... started to update then bang, screen was black. should i try lower versions like v22 or v23?

I think your fault was that you burned the update as a Mode1 CD and not in Mode2 as it should be for MK3. Btw. the V22 is the last real update for MK3...

i used ImgBurn to write the CD... so it had to be correct Mode. i know that v22 has the last update for MK3, i didn´t have v22 at that time so i tried it with v32.

aise - just because you burned the CD with ImgBurn doesn't necessarily mean it's in the correct mode. Put the disc back into your PC and read the info on it to see which mode it's in.

ok, thanks for the info

i have the perspective mode version that people were doing custom splashes for premium members. should i upgrade?

Edit: MKIV E46 //M3

Perspective mode starts from the v29 (as far as I remember)..... and now v32 is released.... so which version do you have is still not clear.... Go to MENU-SET (SETTINGS) and in the right upper corner you'll see version number.... if it would be SW 4-1/00 then you have the last version if last figures (00) would be other - you have not the last version and better to update (but of course not obligatory ;) )

Can you help me? I have an early-2000 (U.S.-spec) X5 with Mark II GPS (with the original firmware). I have recently moved to Belgium. I have the 06-1 Navteq Europe DVD (from another BMW) but my X5 Mk II doesn't recognize it. I've read the forums but am still unsure what to do. Thanks.

Mk I, Mk II and MkIII navigation units has only CD drive. :( That is the reason why it cannot be recognized. Your Mk II CD drive cannot read a DVD disk. DVD drive is present in Mk IV unit only.

To solve this: Find a CD map disk or retrofit Mk IV navigation unit.

Kamil

Thanks Kamil. Your answer has saved me a lot of time & trouble.

The SW in my E46 M3 is 4-1/70. am i missing out on anything as i do have perspective view.

To have the perspective view you have to update your navi SW. I recommend to use v32 'cause it's the latest.

Mk4 NavSW disks V27 vs V31/32
 

Yes. You are as You having SW version 7.0 from Navigation distribution disk update V27.

1) The current version of SW is 10.00 from Navigation distribution disk update V31 or V32 (same SW version 10.00). See: http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/all-...ystem-faq.html
2) You are missing: Bugfixes to Navigation distribution disk update V27 with SW version 7.0 ageinst V31/32 SW10.00 for Mk4 unit
3) You are missing: Capability to read dual layer DVD map disk. Started from NavSW V31 disk see: http://www.xoutpost.com/450864-post1.html DL DVD map appeared for the first time in 2008-02 Europe version BMW map disk
Edit: Ooops, You are from US. No Europe map needed. But, some rumours goes that 2009-01 North America map could be on DL DVD, but I am not sure, there is no guarantee! Search forums please as this can be totaly wrong.

Kamil

Hi, I would like to update my navigation software but I'm a bit of a newbie in this area so I hope somebody can help me a bit. I have heard people are having a defect navigation after updating their Mini Cooper Navigation system :Frown: I have a Mini Cooper with navigation version SW 4-1/30 ( shown settings menu). I have ejected my BMW Road Map Europe high DVD 2004-02 out of the dvd-drive I would like to use my new bought BMW Road Map Europe high DVD 2008-02. Can I just put the new DVD 2008-02 in my drive?
I read this on the cooper forum the MINI logo is replaced with a BMW logo on startup. Is this always the case :(

any idea on where to download the latest DVD MAPS ?????

I fitted my MKIV and the dealer supposedly loaded V32 on to it without coding it to the car. The warning screen did not appear when I started the car. Today they coded it to the car and the warning screen comes on and doesn't go off after 8 seconds. Is the Australian coding/specs different by chance? I asked the dealer to code it to European specs but they looked at me blankly and said we don't have an option to do that.

Yes, there are 3 x regional settings:
Europe
USA
Oceania

The official BMW dealer doesn't even know this, he is automatically locked into his appropriate region by the BMW factory software. He cannot change his region, he probably doesn't even know the regions exist, as he only works within his region

Only when people go outside of their region (like here on X5world) do you realise other regions exist and that the behaviour, configuration and settings of the BMW can be different

Oceania mode makes the warning screen appear. The dealer cannot change that, because it is exactly how BMW want it to be for Australia.

But NavCoder can change it :-)

Thanks for the reply. So does that mean the Australian regional setting doesn't have the 8 second delay before the warning screen switches off?

Navcoder would be nice to have but I don't have a laptop or lead and I wouldn't use it enough to justify buying these. Keep up the good work though!

I think so - I never set anyone to Ozzie mode so I'm not 1000% sure :-)

i think this link has died. :( can someone else try a download as well. i get nothing on the megaupload page. just says waiting to load.

I managed to down load couples of week ago, you need to wait awhile.

Thanks loksim, ill give it a try again

Update. Its working now. Thank you for the update.

Rex7, let me know how's the V32 perform, any abnormalities?

Hi all, i have a slightly different spin on this problem.....
The reason i have been trying to do this upgrade is because i have got a new 2008/2 Professional Europe DVD. I am currently running 2004/1 High in a 2004 X5 3.0d facelift.

I followed all the instructions and eventually managed to download v32. I installed it into my car and voila! I now have 4/1/00 with slightly smoother fonts and even perspective view!

Here's the rub. My new disc wont work!!!! It just keeps saying incorrect disc. My old one still works tho.....

Is this something to do with it being a professional dvd instead of a High dvd like my old one?

EDIT!

Scratch that, ive found the answer on a different thread. :confused:

Professional is for idrive, i need a high......... oops!


Also, i still dont appear to be able to enter a postcode. Is that something i will get if i eventually get the new dvd to work?

Thanks for all te advice on installing the os update. Worked a treat for me!

Your x5 is an I-bus car and only uses the High disks. The Prof. is for non e65/66 MOST bus cars (fiber optic) such as e60/63/70/90 cars. Not interchangeable. You need the new "High" disk.

Upgrading to V32
 

Hi,

I am new to this.

Firstly I would like to thank everyone on this site for all the help shared.

Now, I bought an E39 with MK4 (4-1/12) recently. With the help to this site, updated to V31 i.e. 4-1/00. Also 'got hold' of 2009-1 dvd and its working fine too. Did I do the right thing by updating it from very old to a newer version by skipping all the versions in between??

Also can I / should I updated to V32?

Regards & TIN

Sohail

There is no issue in going directly from a very old 4-1/12 to the current 4-1/100

V32 OS and V31 Os discs both contain 4-1/100, you will not achieve anything by inserting a V32 OS disc. The system will tell you the software is up to date.

Hi Sohail, you did just fine, and without problems I'm glad to see. Just to echo what Jochen said above, there are no issues with missing out the intervening updates.

Many thanks Jochen and Jaycee for you quick replies.

so if i am readin this right, if i have an mk4 with V29, there is no need to upgrade to v32 since their are no chnages?

V29 contains 4-1/91
V31 & V32 both contain 4-1/100

It's worth the upgrade

Sorry. I'm somewhat of a noob. What will 4-1/100 do exactly?

What are the voice files? Would that be to change the Nav voice?

Fix bugs (just like any software update on anything really)
Enable new feature of reading dual-layer DVDs

Though this has been out for awhile, I've been very busy lately.

I did successfully download/burn/install V31, and some version before that... v28??

Anyhow, just wanted to say thanks, again, to the OP for providing this software upgrade. I'm going to first burn a V32, then attempt to burn/install a "tweaked" version. I failed when I did v31, I messed with it for about a week then gave up and installed the un-tweaked v31...

Wish me luck!

V32 Release
 

Hi Appy,

followed your link to megaupload, but it requested a VNI to be able to download the file. Do I need to register with megaupload or is there a VNI that you use?

Sol:stickpoke

You don't need anything to download from that site. It's free and no need to register. You can pay for a faster download speed, but it is not required.

Um...

Could the letters VNI have been the "letters" you had to enter to start the download? Its kind of like an image verification. VIN is Vehicle Identification Number, but thats not VNI.

Crazy coincidence? I didn't have any trouble downloading just a few hours ago...

Has anyone done this on a mac? Which burn software did you use? Will the burner software on the mac work?

If I have a 2004 BMW 760 that has never had the firmware updated, this download includes all that updates, or do I have to go step by step?

May be a stupid question, but I want to make certain. Thanks.

Thanx UCrew. Figured it out after I posted the message.:thumbup:

Hi - long time lurker first time poster here.... :D

Just wanted to post quickly for others in my boat with basically no experience in DVD burning, RAR files, ISO files, Images etc... My (soon to be) wife and I just bought the the second cheapest certified 05 X5 4.4 in the country. I found this site long before our purchase as I'm active on several VAG and Porsche forums and know how much help the the community can be - and has been already. Thanks. We are already in love with our first Bimmer but find the Navigation system a bit outdated, so I turned here to for help and found lots of it.

I first downloaded ImgBurn (for free) as suggested all over the site. Using another freeware program, "DVD Decrypter" I created an image (ISO file) of my current map (2005.2 North America) and then burnt a new map DVD using ImgBurn on a Verbatim DVD-R at 1x speed as suggested. Put it the truck (can I call it that?) and it worked fine, so I continued to the next step. I downloaded V32 (or v31 - I'll let the experts debate) from the link in post 1 of this thread and then used ImgBurn to make an .ISO file from the .RAR file I downloaded. Then I burnt it to DVD. I figured out this was wrong before hiking out to the driveway with it. I opened the disk and didn't see the 7 folders and 41 files someone mentioned. Just a .rar file I couldn't open.

I googled RAR and figured out it's a compression format like a .zip and then found a free extractor "PeaZip" to download and install. Using this I was able to properly extract the .ISO file from the .RAR provided via the link in post 1. ImgBurn then was used to make a DVD from the image using the same media and write speed that worked before. I have no disk scanning software but I saw the bunch of files and folders on the resulting disk and figured worst case if I screw it up I can go buy a proper update from the dealer, as my Nav unit is a MkIV and from what I've read can't really be junked by a failure here as the MkIII units can.

I followed the post on page 9 for the actual update procedure and it worked. My only comments would be that I had to press eject 3x after the lights went out and that after the update the disk ejected itelf (but I still removed before hitting accept). I even managed to switch to perspective view without making a new post! :bustingup

Anyway I wanted to post for the total newbs like me. You can do it! Now all I need to do is save up the 200 bones fore a new Map DVD. :stickpoke Anyone else find that a bit exorbitant?

Hope this helps someone and a big thanks to all those here before me. :2thumbs:

Hi friends,

I've been trying to update to V31 and later to V32 my MkIV navigator on a X3 from 2006 (with the screen that turns and hides).
My original maps were the Europe 2006-1 that came with the car in origin. Recently I've downloaded the Europe 2009-1 and burned on a DVD+R disc.

Since I installed V31, the navigator, after a few minutes of use, it usually resets a couple of times and then it hangs-up. In that moment I cannot use the navigator and I cannot turn to the radio screen mode. The screen remains on the GPS screen without any movement no matter I'm driving and moving. I've tried with both discs (original 2006 and copy 2009) and the same.
It also happens with the V32 update. Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
Joan

P.S.: Should I return to the V27.1 or V29 version? Where I can obtain it?

Software updates appear to be cumulative. All prior updates would be included. Have you updated yet?

I have 27.1 if you need it. I'm using it right now on my MKIV. There must be an archive of older software somewhere.

Have you tried disconnecting the battery on the car for a minute or two? Just a thought/not an expert.

main reason I want to use V31/32 is the Dual Layer support. 2009.1 fit on a single layer? hmm..

Ready to update my Nav in the morning. It's 4-1/71 at the moment.

Is the 2009.1 DVD on Single or Dual layer? I've seen some that are Dual Layer, maybe different than the High version? That's *if* I get one.. $200 seems a tad much for the data.

I have BMW E60,I need help about the navigation.So,I have the navi DVD Bussines 2007-2 now and evrything make OK but than I will give DVD Bussines 2008-2 DVD DL the aparate don´t read it.Please,is it anybody know the right procedure? Thank you for your help.

what to do
 

Hello! I am new here and I have a question about this satnav thing. A friend of mine has a 1997 BMW 750iL with a 4:3 Business radio system. He has a GPS module installed (either MkI or MkII) but he was told at the service station that "it has never been activated". He doesn't have any map CDs or anything else. When I check the settings, no information on Mk or software version is shown. Is there any software installed if no information is shown? Can I install it by doing the procedure described on many websites (download this version, burn it, turn key to 1st position and start radio and put cd in nav tray)? The menu has the option GPS navigation but when it is clicked only a message saying "navigation CD missing" or something like that is shown and then the option is greyed out.

That will be a Mk1 system.
There is no "activation" required. Software is always installed.
Just insert the suitable map CD for Finland and use it.
The Mk1s have a laborious calibration requirement, and are laboriously slow.

If your friend is a BMW fan, then consider removing the Mk1 and fitting a Mk4, it will be lightening fast in comparision, with many more features.

Help required upgrading the Mk3 OS
 

Hi Guys, I know that if anyone knows the answer to this query, I will get it on here.

My father-in-law has just bought a 2004 Range Rover TD6 Vogue with the Mk 3 CD Sat Nav system (same as the BMW, I believe). The version is SW 3 - 1/32 and the disc in the unit in the boot is a copied CD not the original. Some RR Forums have suggested that this cannot be upgraded, whilst I have found sites selling upgrade discs.

I have a BMW X5 and have recently upgraded my OS with a CD for version 32, but this CD will not work in my Father-in-laws' unit. What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix this for him?

Also, any 'help' in getting the Map CDs for 2008-2 would be greatly accepted
:D

You cannot fit BMW software to Range Rover nav, nor vice versa. The Boot Mode iis hardcoded in the nav and linked to the vehicle type (LRO vs BMW) and thus the nav won't recognise the wrong software.

You cannot change the boot mode unless you have factory tools - I tried long and hard with every trick I new but couldn't do it. The VDO factory in Germany can though :-)

3-1/32 was the last SW ever released for the Range Rover, there is nothing newer.

The only way to add newer software is to remove the Range Rover Mk3 and fit either a BMW Mk3 - here you can go to 3-1/63, or a BMW Mk4 - here you can go to 4-1/100

With the BMW nav, you can then fit a Range Rover splash screen and alter the colours to suit the Range Rover (green instead of red etc)

Hello, I need some help if possible. why i can´t burn a cd in mode 2 in nero. I make the steps of page 9, ''In Nero StartSmart, select "Nero Burning Rom" in the applications menu on the left hand side of the screen. The main window will come up as well as "New Compilation" window, in this window select the ISO tab and the top "Data mode" box is where you select Mode 1 or Mode 2. Use the other tabs to set the appropriate criteria such as burn speed etc, then click on the "Open" tab in the bottom right of the window, locate the downloaded ISO file and burn it.'' , but when i open the ISO file it changes to mode 1, and is the same with cd-keys ISO file. Tks

Because Nero is crap.

You must not change the OS CD Mode, you must use an image burning program that RETAINS the original CD image format

Nero forces everything to Mode1, it thinks it knows what you want. It is crap.

Use ImgBurn, www.imgburn.com, it retains the mode properly.

Tks kwiJochen,sorry i don´t explained well, the problem is the ISO files that i take from forum cames in mode 1, and i can´t force burn in mode 2, even with imgburn.
the only ISO version I found in mode 2 is v31, but ok because my MKIII have very old soft 3-1/20.
But i can´t find cd-keys in mode 2, or i can put the cd-keys in mode 1 ?

cd-key is very special format
burn using the program that made the key!

OT: SIB V24 & SIB V24.1
 

Hallo Kiwi!
It's a little OT, but perhaps you can tell me, where I can find the SIB V24 and SIV V24.1 to detect the difference between the Version 1-1/72 & 1-1/80 for the old MK1-System.

Many thanks
peter

The last MKI Ver. was 15. This Version gave you SW 8.0 and MMI 7.2. The system was unlike the later navs.

Many thanks!

peter

Hi ALL,

im new here, and new to upgradi SW.

I have a 2002 BMW 530i sport, which has a MK3 system installed. Can i download the V32 software and upgrade my OS, on my satnav? will this work? or should i use V31? I have downloaded both, and am looking to try this shortly.

I currently have version 3-1/41 installed... hope this helps.

DO NOT use the V32 disc.
It has not been copied correctly.
It is in Mode1 format which will crash the Mk3 nav

Use the v31 or earlier discs, they have been properly copied in Mode2/Form1 format and you can safely update your nav

All OS discs from V22 and later all contain 3-1/63, the last ever version released for the Mk3 nav

An upgrade is worth while, just make the OS CD, insert it, and follow onscreen instructions.

Thanks for the quick reply. almost was just going to go and do the update.

thanks for that. i also have a vry old Nav Cd, do you know anywhere i can download the latest CD version of the nav disc.

ALso once again thanks very much for your quick repsonse.

just to say thanks to Kiwijochen,

the update worked perfectly without any flaws. thanks very much. :thumbup:

newbie thats messed it up!
 

read extensivly through the forums, made a v32 dvd disk installed into dvd nav drive came back with a message that said incorrect cd/dvd, tried to eject, took a few tries but it came out, then i inserted map dvd, then the screen went black, turned car on & off, nothing. please help

2005 x3 factory dash-popup nav orig os ver. 25

any help muchly appreciated.

UPDATE:
re-burned image onto cd-r , installed into nav player, waited about 4 minutes, update screen finally popped up, took about 1min to update.
all is good.
wouldn't have the confidence to do without all the helpful contributors to this forum.

You shouldn't use a DVD for the V32!
A CD ist needed!!!!!

greetings
peter

Just upgraded my new MKIV. No problems. I wrote the disc with MagicISO in Mode2/Form1 and it loaded it right up. I was previously at V26 (1-4/60).

Perspective is nice!

Medium cant be read
 

I have read alot on this regarding upgrading to version 32. I currently have an E90, version 26, 2005 and I downloaded the NAV_SW(v32).rar (see post 57), unzipped it and burned it at 1 x using Imgburn. Verified the disc then removed the map disc from the drive loaded the new burned disc and after a few minutes the disc reads , "Medium cannot be read''. I tried the same with ver31, no luck. I m using HP CDs. Any advice will be appreciated. thanks.

You didn't read enough :-)

The OS CDs here are for Mk1...Mk4, NAVI01...NAVI03

Your E90 car does not have these systems

You have a MOST-based nav, it can only be updated over the diagnostic port or optical connection via dealer software.

guess I have to go and visit my dealer! thanks you saved me alot of effort!

Please help... I have an '04 m3 and have downloaded the V31 and V32 torrents and I can't get either to work. I unzipped them to the desktop, and burned the .img file to a CD-R using imgburn @ 1x write speed. When i take the map disk out and put in the update disk nothing happens...

I wait for like 5 min. and nothing, no update screen or anything just whatever screen was showing when I put it in.

If I go to menu, then navigation it says cannot read the cd/dvd, please insert map disk

Am I doing something blatantly wrong?

This is what imgburn says after the burn is done...

Are you burning the file directly to the disk, or are you using the file to create a disk? You want to be doing the latter.

Wow, as soon as I posted that i decided to try one more time... didn't really do anything different but it worked this time!! lol

Only thing that looks different is the map screen tho... and no cool M3 splash screen, only a bmw logo above where it said =BMW= originally. How do you get the m3 splash?

==BMW== is the correct, standard screen

Anything else has been edited by someone (by editing the navboot file on the OS, thus making a non-standard custom OS)

Ahhh.... I figured it out. Thanks guys!!!

New here, just wondering, I got my 06 MINI with the MKIV and I've never updated the software since I got it. I'm thinking of getting it done but would it be smart to go through the versions or can I go ahead and do v32 now? Also would v32 be usable at all for MINIs or just BMWs?

V32 is for BMW and Minis. It contains Mini-specific graphics in it.

What version is in the Mini nav now?

Currently in the settings it say "4 1-60" will have to chevck what that is here.

You don't have to check any further, you have found your version

You have 4-1/60 (in PC terms: v6.0), which was released Sep 2005

Current version is 4-1/100 (in PC terms: v10.0), released Jun 2008

Upgrade is well worth it. New features:
1. Safety screen auto-disappears
2. City & Town names displayed
3. Destination input improved

and bugs fixed.

and enabled function of reading DVD-DL disks......

I having problems after the V32 update from v27.1

I have a 2003 M3 with the MKIV DVD based nav. I followed the instructions and the software update was successful. The CD was ejected and the system restarted. I put in a 2006.2 and a 2002 map disc and it says No CD/DVD, please insert.

From my understanding, the V32 on MKIV for the E46 should work just fine with a single layer DVD right? It is not required to have a DVD-DL in order to use the V32 software?

How should I go about solving this, try to get the 2008/2009 maps in high or professional or installed V32 again?

The safety screen doesn't disappear for all countries, i.e it still remains in Australia.

If you don't like it, turn it off.

Use NavCoder and set Region=Europe and voila! No more safety warning :-)

All other features remain as normal.

I'm thinking of buying such mod from Rolf Resler so i can connect it to my laptop which has USB.

Where do i need to connect in the Mini Cooper?

I've been thinking about this. What do I need, a Resler Interface? Where do I get one from?

So it looks like you have to cut in to the ibus wire? I'd rather not do this, it would be nice if you could get an interface that plugs in to the diagnostic port under the dash.

But you need to tap the I-bus, not the diagnostic connection. You also need 12 volts and a ground.
