SAT NAV DVDs

[Mins21]

Does anyone know if the built in sat nav system in the MINI (Mk IV) takes DVD-R or DVD+R...?

Does it not like any of them, or will happily take either?!

Any preference on makes (i.e Philips, Sony, Maxell etc) that the system is happy with?

Please help!

thanks

I have used DVD-R successfully on a 1st gen satnav. Burn it slow though!

I have tried with -DVDRs and they seem to like them but as Jonesy says burn at slowest speed seems to like them more :S

Cheers - I tried this but whilst the DVD was read ok, the maps and everything was very slow to work, so I guess I have a duff original DVD map. ah well...

As a side note, I managed (somehow) to enable the perspective function on my 2004 CD map...yes I said CD!!! Weird but great for me!!

I did this following the update of firmware to version 29.1 (v29.1)

wahooo!
