BMW Navigation Help Please- 2007 Z4 M

Burt Reynolds · 04-05-2008, 02:34 PM

Hi,

I need help as I am frustrated as hell.

I purchased my car 1 week ago and they had to order my navigation DVD (2007.2).

I drove to the dealership to pick it up today just before the svc department closed. Plugged it in and thought all was well. I attempted to use it to go home and after making a bunch of random turns, decided something was wrong. I drove back to the dealership, pulled out my Garmin Nuvi 660 and figured out that GPS had me showing up in the wrong place on the map by over 30 miles! I asked the Sales manager and he suggested I drive it around fr a while and it would start to work correctly once my position was triangulated. I drove home and to no avail it still does not work.

Please tell me someone else has had this problem and knows how to fix it?!?!

Thanks!

Sounds like something is wrong with you Nav system. You should make an appointment with your service and have them fix it.

They fixed it and said my antenna connector was bad? Oh well, it works now!

If you already have a Garmin, why would you want to spend the big $$$ on a factory set up. Was it the factory built in or the BMW Garmin?

I had the Garmin Nuvi for business travel. The M Coupe I purchased came with Nav and with the deal I got I am not sure that I did pay for it

I got the extended leather the same way...

BTW, If I were to reorder a BMW I would buy the extended leather and skip the navigation (previously I would have skipped both)
