Has anyone bought the navigation maps from this company? Are they legit? It says for $50 they will provide new maps and software update. L

bought one thinking it was my dvd that was bad, turned out to be my dvd player, so i cant say if it worked or not. if i remember right, there is another thread on here somewhere where a guy got burned by him, but mine arrived, just never used it...

are you talking about bmwnav.net? i bought from them on my e60 - it's legit. but on my e53, my mk4 wont read copies of disks so be careful

there are two different versions
IIRC:

High = MKIV platforms
Professional = Idrive platforms

They're legit- I ordered a set of Europe Disks (we're in Germany) and he sent the US ones by accident- He quickly sent the Europe ones to me and update disk worked great. I still have the US disks (2011) if you are interested.

Thanks for the answers...the copy does not work on my MKIV so they are sending originals. The system update they sendt did work.

Is it possible to just order the update without the maps? I already have 2011... Or get it from someone...

my mk4 reads copy disc. you just have to burn it the right way and make sure your firmware is updated correctly. I followed instructions from this forum and am running the tele-atlas 2010 maps. got them online!

some MK4's take copied disks no problem. mine never did - the disks always got jammed. the issue is either the disks or the actual laser on the mk4. i suspect the latter, at least in my case

I guess the guy is legit, but he's also a buffoon. He first doubled my order and when I found this out on PayPal, I asked him to cancel one of them (since I obviously didn't need two). He told me he did so, then I waited and waited for shipment and it never came. I emailed him repeatedly without response, until he finally replied that it had shipped almost two weeks prior. So I wait another two weeks....and nothing. I began emailing him again and 4 or 5 attempts later, he replies that both of my orders were canceled. So why did he tell me it had shipped?

Like I said....buffoon.
