OS Updates

SLO · 10-04-2010, 11:40 AM

It used to be that you could download updates for the DVD-based Nav units and update the OS yourself. Is this still possible? All the updates i find (v32 is the latest) are for the old Nav units. How do you update the os on i-drive Nav systems? Also, can you still download map updates?

That ended with the E46.

You can still download and install the map data on the '09 and newer. You need a new DVD that costs about $7 and an enabling code that costs about $200.

The 2009 and newer have the harddrive based nav. The DVD set part number should be 01990037287 and costs $7.12 at Tischer. The enabler code is part number 65902159305 and costs $183.20 at Tischer. The update process takes several hours and can't be interrupted. Usually the procedure is to connect a special battery charger to the car during the update. There are some images of the update here -> http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...&postcount=124.

Yes, if the M3 was manufactured before September 2008.
