He/she has a different firmware on their car compared to yours...

You'll need the same discs to make this work. They are illegal and not discussed openly on the forum (please use PM to get round this).

Your friend might have the disc - called a v32 disc...

Are you both on facelift cars (both have the DVD based SatNav)?

Check what version you are running by pressing, Menu, then set (number top right).

A Dealer........all other 'options' breach Forum Rules.  OEM Firmware CDs were about £10 last time I got one.

See this thread with regard to non-OEM discussions.
