I purchased the BMW v32 navi from eBay, hopefully that works, will post when it arrives.

 

You should be good!

 

Hope so. On another note, I can't seem to eject the disc I burnt, any idea how to?

 

Take the key out the ignition and tap the eject button. It may take awhile to eject but it will. If that doesn't work, disconnect the battery for 5 min and reconnect, then press eject again.

 

Ok, I'll give that a try. Thanks.

 

So the disc arrived, put it in and the it ejects its self after about 30 seconds, could my drive need replacing?

 

Can you post a pic of the disc?

 

Here you go. So now I have a blank screen. Pulled the fuses so will try again later.

 

Hmm. Our disks are slightly different. My disk actually shows the Part# and the manufacture date. Are you sure that your disk is a original and not another copy? My was ordered directly from a BMW dealership. Look at my attachment.

 

Oh, so I purchased a copy then, could that be why it ejects?

So I need to order from BMW, I did asking mini and they stock it anymore.

 

Can you send me the ebay link to where you purchased that disk? Yes, BMW & Mini do not keep that disk any longer. I only got mine because I knew a friend that worked at BMW and made a special order for my disk. It took almost a 1/12 months for me to receive the disk since it came directly from Germany. You may have difficulty finding it.

Ah, I see. So what would be my best option at this point. Here is a screen shot of the item number.

 

Do you have the MK4 nav? What year is your Mini? This update disk that we are talking about only works for Mini's that came equipped with the MK4 ie 2005/2006.

 

Mines a 2003, has the same unit as the item description picture, and the Service Manager at Mini it was to. Is there any where safe to download a copy?

 

Does your navigation system unit have cd-rom written on it or DVD?

 

It must be a CD-ROM

 

Did you follow the install instruction like the link below? igniton on #1, drivers door open etc...?

 

I did yes, I'm wondering if I need to install the original software first as the system has crashed.

 

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe that should work. Then you can upgrade from that. The dealer should be able to install the original

 

On 2005 Mini Cooper how can you tell which version fireware you have in it?

 

There should be a code in the top right hand corner of the settings screen like SW 4-1/00

 

I have SW 4-1/50 how old is that?

 

Not sure, but I think SW 4-1/100 is the latest for the '05 DVD based systems. It has a 3D view mode and the auto cancellation of the safety screen after about 15 seconds. I haven't used the 3D mode, but having the safety screen disappear automatically is great. It's the only reason I upgraded.

 

If I buy 2015 update disk from BMW High DVD format I read online should work with the 2005 system. My question is will the DVD also update the fireware to 4-1/00 or do i need separate disk. Any one have a disk that works for sure they want you sell.

 

This firmware disc was a separate disc. Check with your dealer... the MA at my dealer was offering to upgrade the system for free a few years ago. It should take only a few minutes if no issues pop up. Also, the disc used to be available from MINI for about $9. Maybe Pelican or ECS can still get the disc.

The NAV map discs after 2009 are on two discs and not one. It probably won't matter unless you frequently cross territories of the discs.
