Sat nav version and map upgrades

[DaFlake]

First, it sounds like you don't have a DVD burner but rather just a CD burner. Secondly, you only need a CD to burn this upgrade. DVD would be about 4 gigs overkill.

Try just a regular blank CD.

Hi DaFlake,

Thanks again. This one is a DVD burner. I'll try a CD though.

Thanks

Depending on the settings, it is possble that you were trying to burn a DVD in CD mode. software like NERO and Alcohol have to be told what media you are burning. I would leave the settings alone and simply get a CD.

I know this is an old thread but this is what I did to burn the CD:

1. Down the the RAR file from x5world
2. unrar it (winrar on windows or Stuffit on a Mac)
3. rename the V28.mdf V28.iso
4. Use Nero on Windows or Toast or Disk Utilty on a Mac to burn it to a CD

Stuck it in the nav drive and although it failed on the first attempt, on the second it worked.

I wonder if version 29 will be in the pipeline, or will they just concentrate now on the R56 Sat Nav software now...

As I posted in another thread, the MK4 is still in many new BMW vehicles, so I doubt that they will stop tweaking it anytime soon.
