Hi Guys

Can you help please?

Just brought my 03 JCW Cooper S, awesome drive.

I have installed the latest Sat Nav disc from Mini, is it possible to change the view to 3D, I am confused as to if I can change the display or not?

Thanks

We need to know if you have an MK3 or MK4 Nav system in your car. To find this out, go to the setup menu and up in the right hand corner are some numbers. Post them here and we can tell you what you have.

Sw4-1/20

OK, you have an MK4 but the software is really old. V22 firmware.

If you go to Simply MINI, you can download one of the lastest firware in ISO format. You will need to upgrade the unit to this version before you can get 3D view.

Do you know how to burn an ISO?

I am sorry to say that I don't...

Jam911 · Dec 6th, 2007, 11:38 AM

I have downloaded BMW NAV V26 and unzipped the file...

Jam911 · Dec 6th, 2007, 11:41 AM

And downloaded NAV KEY CD - that has unzipped 3 files.

Jam911 · Dec 6th, 2007, 12:17 PM

Does this software upgrade also mean that as well as perspective view, I also get Postcode entry and Speed camera alerts?

DaFlake · Dec 6th, 2007, 12:50 PM

Actually you want the V29 CD and don't need the NAV key.

Postcode is based on the new DVD (DVD only) and cameras has to be added via a DVD hack.

Jam911 · Dec 6th, 2007, 12:56 PM

I have also downloaded V29, should I use this instead of V26?

Sorry about lots of questions, I just want to get it right

Jam911 · Dec 6th, 2007, 12:57 PM

Sorry didn't read your thread...

DaFlake · Dec 6th, 2007, 01:01 PM

LOL, no problem.

Yes, burn the v29 ISO image to a CD using mode 1. Then go to the car and put the key in turning it to position one. Pop the DVD you have out and pop the CD in and wait. it will eventually boot the CD and update the OS. This will give you perspective mode which we will have to turn on.

To turn on perspective mode go to the setup menu on the nav and then press and hold the mode button. In about 10 seconds another hidden menu will pop up (service menu). scroll down and you will see an item called perspective. Turn it to on and then press the mode button to go back to the system. Bring up the map and then change the view to perspective.

Jam911 · Dec 6th, 2007, 01:39 PM

Now I am having problems downloading the V29 file ....argh !!

Thanks very much for your help though.

jam911g · Dec 6th, 2007, 02:25 PM

Do you know anywhere else I can find the V29 software download please?

DaFlake · Dec 6th, 2007, 02:40 PM

What is wrong with it? That is my site...

Why the new nickname as well?

jam911g · Dec 6th, 2007, 03:05 PM

I am trying to download to my works PC, this may be the problem.

I will try on my laptop at home tonight.

Will it download to a MAC or should I stick to a PC?

Also computer support just cleared all the cookies off of my PC so I lost my login, hence the new name !!!

DaFlake · Dec 6th, 2007, 03:06 PM

Ah... It will work on mac as well. It is a zip file with an ISO in it.

Jam911 · Dec 6th, 2007, 03:08 PM

I will try later thanks for your time and help.

Jam911 · Dec 6th, 2007, 03:21 PM

I have just tried on a colleagues PC and anothers MAC...I think that there is a download limit set to our computers so that may be why I can't get the software ....but I really need it !!! lol
