Software update
I enquirer about updating my Sat Nav at my local dealer. They offered me two options a full vehicle software update including Sat Nav for in the region of £160 or a cd/sub plug in option for the Sat Nav only for approx £60. My car is a 2014 520d luxury Touring.
Has anyone else done this? |

I had my Satnav updated as a side-effect of something else and I preferred the old version. The new one has lost "Traffic Summary" which I really liked. It also spends too long zooming and tilting as the start of a route for no obvious benefit. I'd look at the 2017 software before you decide.

You just plug it in and remove it once done. You can do it entirely for free, this link explains how:
http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1098074 Ignore the fact the thread started in 2014, the update process is the same. I've updated my maps a dozen times. Map Data and operating software are two entirely separate things.

You download the new maps via BMW Update Manager onto a 64GB usb, then upload to the HDD in the car via the centre console usb port. The upload to the car takes about 40-45 mins.

I'm having trouble too. After putting in the USB I get the ...update now message, but when I click on start update I get
"Navigation data in vehicle is incomplete/manipulated. Please have the system checked by service" Then "Please connect the usb device 1 to start the update" (the usb is already in, obviously) Looks like a trip to the dealer when i can be bothered |
