The R53 Nav seems dated now...

DaFlake, did you notice any significant changes in features with the new Nav?

Huge... The graphics were more like that of the Garmin systems. Also, the speed to zoom in and out and POI search was much better. The entire system was much faster.

I still like my NAV, I just want to know what the major differences are.

ALD0 · Jul 16th, 2007, 05:19 PM

Professional with I-Drive systems isn't it?

brett · Sep 17th, 2007, 11:19 AM

can you not have the voice?? I run a portable system with the volume down, as I hate the person saying Complete a U turn..... if I decide to go a different way.

You don't want to have the voice saying where to go?
You can adjust the voice volume on the menu.

Yes, you can turn down the volume, but there is also a control that mutes the voice instructions altogether. By the way, this system will recalculate your route if you choose to use a road that wasn't originally suggested. Does the recalculation fairly quickly, before it tells you to take a "legal U-turn" at the earliest convenience.

Does anyone have a picture of the Idrive style controller?

Thanks

i really dont want to sound thick, but i am getting the Sat Nav in my new R56 and where is the dvd unit for the sat nav disc? I have only seen pictures of it, and am unsure is it the slot below the screen or is that for regular cds? Can someone help me?

118 · Oct 2nd, 2007, 11:52 PM

it is below that slot - there is the panel with the volume control and track buttons on. this pops out and the dvd slot is behind it

Sowellman · Oct 3rd, 2007, 02:04 AM

Here's a photo of the center console. The first slot below the speedo is for CDs. The navigation DVD is hidden behind the second thing that has the volume control knob sticking out from the center. The cover pops off to reveal the DVD slot.

Is the old system 4:3 and the new system 16:9 ratio?

The frst generation of DVD Sat Nav in early BMWs were 'square' where as the later ones were 'widescreen' is this the case here?

DaFlake · Jun 22nd, 2008, 05:16 PM

Nope, both are 16:9
