I only have Mac computers at work and home - so I take it there's no way for me to do the custom splash screen?

I burn the iso image using disk utility on my mac. Loaded it into my car and it all works fine. However, I'm not seeing any of the 3D maps or anything really different. I guess this is because I have the older, 2006.2, DVD in the nav system. Anyone got an ISO of a newer DVD?

Hi!

I have a bmw 320d, 2001 model, e46 bought in Dec 2000 in Germany. I would like to ask if this firmware upgrade runs in my car gps, and if it not, does it stop function?

I don't know what version I have, but the car cannot read gps software in DVD, only in CD, and it does not allow me to watch movies in DVD Video.

Thanks for your further replies

You have MKIII and this is for MKIV so it won't work. HOWEVER, upgrade from MKIII to MKIV is plug&play, i.e. if you buy an MKIV unit you can replace ur current unit as easy as that

Thank for your answer.

Is there any firmware for the GPS that runs in my car model? If not, how much is a new MK IV unit? (You can tell in USD, don't need to be kind ), just to have an idea.

You can find the info and links here:

http://www.bimmerfest.com/wiki/index...st_firmware.3F

You can get an MKIV for as low as $350-400 (ebay, CL) used to $600-700 new.

Thank for your reply once again.

I've checked my car's trunk (where the drive is) and it is written in the drive "DVD". I checked MK IV images in the link you gave me, and it is the only one that is DVD based, so I'm guessing I have the MK IV?

I found the image in this site: http://www.x5world.com/articles/all-...ystem-faq.html

Yes, the MkIV is the only one that is DVD-based. The newest version of iDrive w/Nav uses a hard drive.

Hi,

Excellent post

I have a few questions and wondering if anyone can answer..

I drive a 7 Series E65 and based in the UK. Will this work on my NAV?

Here is a pic of what the DVD NAV looks like:



Also, is this firmware ok for the UK or do I need to tweak anything?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks to UnionJack and and a couple of the guys from X5world I completed this DIY today and it was very easy thanks to this write-up.....it worked like a charm. I replaced the initial splash screen image and also changed the languages as UnionJack highlighted.

Great upgrade....and it's free!

If I emailed over a splash screen image, and Paypal you a few bucks, would someone burn the for me? Like I said, I only have access to Macs at home/work/friends. So I'm effed.

I'll give a fellow mac user a hand. Go ahead and send me the screen image and I'll put it in a V32 firmware image I have. I'll PM you with my email address.

Got your PM, awesome!
I'll try and get it over to you soon.

As an early '07 production, will I have to downgrade then upgrade the software; or will V32 be a step up from where I'm at now? Any other things I'll gain besides the splash screen?

Or more importantly, is there anything I'll lose? Will I lose the split screen?
