What's the sequence ?
 

Greetings
I got a custom splash screen from one buddy, I bought a LEGAL, albeit a year old, BMW Navteq Map update from another person on the boards, and also had a friend burn me an update to V32 firmware.

What is the correct sequence to install everything in my 06 E53 Mark IV...?

Thanks

50 reads and not one reply....?

Did I ask a bad/dumb/obvious question ?

ed

The question you asked have already been replied many many times...
BTW
- to update firmware just open door, insert key and turn to have board monitor on;
insert cd into unit (do not close or touch anything in the meantime) and wait...it will take less than 5 minutes. After upgrade remove the cd (it will aut eject) I did it really many many times in order to test my stuff;
- to use DVD just put the dvd into the unit and it will work. If you want to implement additional function...study the threads
WHAT I WROTE IS VALID FOR MY X3 NAVSYSTEM BASED ON MKIV UNIT

If the update disc is not MODE2/FORM1 you will instantly brick your nav. You have been warned.

My question was not how, but the sequence..

Firmware first ? Maps Second ?

Or it doesn't matter ?

ed

it doesn't matter because you must eject the map to load the firmware

so whether you view a map, then load firmware, then view the map again, or:
load firmware, then view the map
makes not one iota of difference

this is a silly question to me.

You MUST eject the map disc to UPDATE...so the sequence is there :wow:or put it in another way. You MUST insert the map disc if you want the nav working. So we come back to the beginning. Is that clear now? :thumbup:
