E53 SatNav disks

[pvr]

Can I request all members to not discuss alternate sources of BMW SatNav disks for the E53 due to legality reasons please? Ultimately, the Admin team is responsible for the posted content of this site and we could leave ourselves open to a possible legal situation if we allowed free and open discussions of these alternate disks.

Thanks.

Is there a "best place" to get a good priced Genuine OEM sat data disk, as mine is 2004, bland & out of date...
Guessing some dealers have better prices than others ???

[X5Sport]

You'll likely only find a small difference in the £200 price the stealers charge!

Have been checking ebay for "shops" who sell oem disc's but im not sure witch will fit the x? i never had a navi disc, and i need for europe+norway. If u feel im breaking some rules now just delete my post

[pvr]

How new do you want?

[Mikey]

do not know if they even update those maps anymore? have seen some advertised as "2014 update" but not sure if that's even for x5's as new as possible iguess

Is Norway not included in the Europe 'High' DVD?

The Mark4 system is still being updated.  Dealer quoted me £185 a couple of weeks back for our E46.  You do need to have the latest firmware though as it's a dual layer disc now.

quickie... is it actually possible to update the SatNav interface (firmware) on 2004 (facelift) model?

[Mpower]

I think its still at V32 for firmware dont think bmw updated after that.

[X5Sport]

Correct.  Nothing for the E53 after V32.  After that the system changed to a MOST type and has a different update system.

For the E53 - Go into the Menu and select 'Set'.  You need to note the version number at the top of the screen which starts 4-1/nnn.  The important numbers are the 'nnn'.  If you have '100' then that is the last version issued.  It's actually V31 as V32 made no changes to the Mk4 Navcomp.

Cheerio... May not be appropriate to ask here, where can i source the latest update from and what benefits (if any?) it gives us? Thx

I got my latest 2016 disc from my local dealer for £60 plus vat

Got mine online...2016 update apparently..was very pleased and it allowed the screen to be turned off properly, not left glowing at night as it was before...very pleased! It also knows where my house built in 2008 is!

Does anyone know anything more about this?
I thought the last update was v31/v32 ?
Was there another update in 2016?
Could someone post a screenshot of the 2016 version displayed,
or indicated on the nav screen please?

[grumpywurzel]

V32 is the latest (and last at a guess), as X5Sport mentioned the V32 didn't change anything for the e53.

I ditched my head unit a while back so I cant help with the piccy of the screen, as for updates I don't know for sure if BMW still update the discs, but I cant see why they don't as roads are forever changing
