No, as previously stated, these software upgrades come with the new hardware upgrades.

It's always been called Navigation Professional, what's described here is the "new" or "Next Generation" Navigation Professional.

Hey, I have a 2012 3-series, and it is waaaaay older than the tech in your 2012 F30

..sure, it's a technological feat, but if i wanted to go online or compute, i'd do it in the office or at a cafe, on my smart phone or iPad or laptop. I use my car to drive. This extra nonsense just adds more cost, weight, and creates more distractions from the original purpose of these vehicles. I know I'm sounding like "an old techno-hating old dude" but i just can't help feeling annoyed by these announcements.

....I'm not against navigation, but tell you the truth, this stuff (software and hardware) becomes obsolete so quickly that it would be better as a third party add-on feature rather than hard-coded by the manufacturer, imho at least....

So, I am about to order my 2013 F10 for July production. Anything I need to do to ENSURE that it comes with this new Next Generational Navigation Professional?

AP · 07-11-2012, 05:52 AM

anyone notice the change to the centre speakers on the dashboard above the satnav? at least i assume they are speakers sticking up.
Is that the B&O system by any chance?

My order for an F11 535d is in for a September production/delivery, so I am highly interested in the answer to this question!

Yes, that's part of the B&O audio system.
