nav not reading dvd map
 

i have a 2004 m3 and i just downloaded the 2009.1 high version for my mk4 system. the filename was 'bmw_navi_2009.1" file size was 4.07gb and was in .mdf .mds format.

i used imgburn at 1x speed on memorex dvd+r media. i am currently running v31 as well with the M splash screen and female british voice (do i need to upgrade to v32?).

now is there something i need to do to 'load' the dvd map into the car? i know there was a special procedure for loading firmware. all i get is 'incorrect dvd/map"

Incorrect = map format / data is wrong.

Cannot read = weak laser

hmm okay. i'll try again in a few hours with the v32... many people on the torrent site said that they got it to work after a v32 upgrade in their mkiv, sucks that i'm going to lose my m splash screen and voice though.

edit: tried the v32 upgrade and the OS upgraded but still got 'incorrect dvd' showing. at least i know my laser is working fine... looks like it may just be a problem of not using the right DVD+R media because it seems like others have gotten it to work. :banghead:

Did you ever figure out how to get this to work, I got the same problem. I assume it's how I burned the DVD

Sounds like the wrong format DVD to me... he's loading the PRO disc when he needs HIGH.

Yeah I think mine has somethng to do with the way I am acutally burning the img on the DVD. I have the high version. But I kind of just put the data on the DVD I didn't really burn an img.

Then it won't work properly as the drive won't know its a nav map disc.

unzip the file (if it's been zipped up), run imgburn, and open the .iso, or .mds, or .bin with imgburn and then put a blank dvd in the drive and then write at a speed supported by the blank.

ok i am having the same problem, after i extract the file it became several folders, and i cant use imgburn to to bur the files anymore. help

TIA

I am having the same problem, I burned the iso image after it was mounted and my MK4 can't read it? Any one know a solution? Thanks Izzy

when you are downloading 1 or more files, then you must extract them into a new folder.
then post here the complete name of new file incl. extension. Then we can help easier.
When you´ll extract your downloaded files twice you´ll extract the files from the includes files of image. That coult bee your problem and your owned created DVD didn´t have the right name (NAV_DV...) and so on...

A look into the DB folder can show which DVD you´ve downloaded:
DB_0 feat DB_1 iss a DVD High Version.
eu.abc, eu.aff, .... = Prof-Version

first Clean laser. I had similar problems when instert dvd but cd read is working.

What can I use to clean the laser? Cleaning cd ?

Wet-type cleaning CD, available from hifi shops and music stores.

Is it something like this:

Acme DVD/VCD player cleaner kit 3 in 1, laser lens cleaner, cleaning fluid and cleaning wipe Partner

Or is that fluid only for wiping?

did you get it working ?
i am very new here
i've downloaded and burned at slow speed so far 3 different images and none of them load
i updated OS to V.32 (about an hour ago)

i got these files:
BMWNAV2009.1_NA_CAMS.iso
BMW_Professional_2010_1.ISO
BMWNAV2009.1.nrg

when i insert disk "Please insert correct....."
someone, any advice?

nav not reading dvd map
 

I fixed my issue - needed "high" version of road maps not "pro"

can you share us the CD so we can download it

Hello!

Few questions...

First, I'm working with a Mac, using Toast.

I've successfully downloaded the torrent file, un-zipped it, renamed .mdf to .iso (so Toast could open it). I've opened the file in toast and removed both French and Spanish (I don't speak either very well)...

My question is, what are the other two files for? Are they important? I've got it open in toast, ready to burn, but what about the other files?

After unzipping the torrent I had a folder with three files...

_____padding_file_...t 0.85 or above______
NAV_DB.mdf
NAV_DB.mds

Are the other two files not important?

THANKS!!
