How do I know if I have a combox fitted
Hi Everyone, got my April '10 525dSE this weekend and it has the latest HDD Nav system and map update, usb/aux in the armrest and bluetooth for the connection to mi iphone. everything works fine but I want to know if I have a combox or 6NR fitted. How do I find this out?

Hi,
If its April 10 it will not have the combox fitted. The combox only came along for post Sep 10 build cars. Does yours have 7 digit post code search? Normally the 7 digit post code search comes with the combox cars. No idea about 6NR. You can ask your dealer to print out a build sheet and check if 6NR is on the list. MalithS |

I am a bit confused. I do have the combox, but no 7 digit postcode search. I do, mind you, have the 2010 maps and others have said that one needs the 2011 maps onwards for the 7 digit post code to work. I took delivery of my approved used today and it had the latest software update too, so now I need to source a three disk set and a code to get the 7 digit post code search...

I updated my maps to 2012 premium. Downloaded the 3 DVDs from UseNet and then give a guy a reasonable fee via paypal for the product key.
I used a couple of USB sticks to upgrade via the glove box usb port. Very handy!

I have heard of that. And did this give you any new features (7 digit post code, 3d google in cities etc)?

Definitely have the 7-digit postcode search now. Dont know if I had it before.
Maps are still over 1 year out of date though which is bloody annoying! My car is MY 09-10 without internet option so dont think I get the google 3d city. Is there a way of turning it on/off if you have it?

I'm a bit confused too; my Sep '10 F10 has full postcode input and I have connected drive. I can also do things like a google search for services etc., and I can call BMW via iDrive and the car's SIM for additional route info or, I imagine, just about any question I need answering. Does this mean I have a combox? I've just been through my original spec list and can't find anything titled '6NR'.

By the way, how can I check if I have the 3D buildings? Is there a particular scale I need to have the google maps in? Also, do I need to go into options and make any adjustments? I live in a relatively large town/city but I do not know if this feature is only available in London, Manchester etc..

Jon, The combox is option 6VC which you probably have. the 6NR is ipod integration. MalithS |

Thanks for the response, trouble is I'm still confused as I have neither 6VC nor 6NR, but I appear to have all the functions that both provide, including iPod integration. Jon |
