Hi all-

Is there no way to change the color scheme on my built in Nav screen? I just got my new clubman and I miss all the fun colors of my Nuvi! The screen always appears to be in night mode, yet in the manuel it seems like the maps are in happy daylight colors. Any advice, I'm really not enjoying it that much!

 

the old ones no.... not sure if you can on the new ones...however there is a way to get a 3d view

 

There is no way to change from the dark background.

 

Check the navi pic in my gallery

 

The pic in your gallery is from a 1st gen car, not a 2nd gen. On the 2nd gen cars, the nav screen doesn't look like that, and it's always a dark background.

 

So, what about the color question? I see in the manual there are display settings but it doesn't seem to go into that.

I see pics w/ the speedometer part as orange...then I see others with red.

any ideas?

 

Hmm, not really sure what part you are referring. This is what is looks like. The background is always black on the screen.

 

Let me get the new one and post bet i can get it like the old on which were just the same before i added 3d......to it

 

I hope you can change it! I saw in one post a guy said his magically turned into something that looked like "day mode" one day and then magically turned back. I'd really love to change it!

I hope you can figure out how to make it 3D, I'd at least like the option to have it 3D. I'm also gonna make mine have the british female voice.

 

I write code, so sure i can do it....just need to get mine to play with......

 

Well, thats great to hear b/c I was having some doubts just before I added the factory nav to my order, b/c I think I liked the garmin type 3d better than how the fac nav is set up as. So , if you can get it workin , that would be awesome. 3d and british female voice would be great

 

The 2nd gen Nav comes with the 3d view standard. It has north up, track up, and 3d view. Good luck on the color change. The nav dvd only has map/poi data. The Mini logo and all other parts are stored in the car somewhere, not on that disc. You can use every part of the Nav system except the navigation (ie, radio, car settings, phone, etc) without the nav dvd, which comes in handy if you want to burn a DVD full of MP3s and don't need the navigation function. There was a thread here from last year which talked about the Pimp My Nav software and the 2nd gen model. It was a fairly heated thread about how bad the POI system is. I think it's locked now but the Pimp My Nav part may be of use to you. I don't think anyone ever got it to work right on a 2nd gen car. Worked fine on the 1st gen.

 

Can't hurt to try

 

I also can update the software as i did on my 03, not the disc

 

If you're successful, be prepared for a lot of people knocking on your door (virtual).

 

So when is Apple getting here?

 

anyone have a list of the files on the map disc?
We get quarterly update discs from Navteq, and i'm wondering if I can utilize that somehow.

 

Hits the port today, early next week

 

the update yearly????????????

 

Be sure to update us while you tinker with modding it.

 

Yeah, we get the full year updates too. our GDT subscription is bi-yearly.

 

Here ya go. Not the 2008 disc, from my 2007 week 34 build. 2007.2 I think it was. Navteq still doesn't list any updates for the 2007+ models. In an email I sent in April they said they have a 2008 update. You have to phone them to get it I guess.

 

Thanks Minidrivr, when i get to work, ill compare them and see if i can manually create an updated disc with the discs we get from Navteq

 

What is a GDT subscription?
