Sat Nav Upgrade

Post by fradillian » Mon Aug 02, 2010 9:34 pm

Can someone remind me who the guy is who can provide the sat nav upgrades?

My 2007 version could do with replacing with something a bit more current. :oldman:

Many thanks

Kath

So - in theory, can I just make a backup copy of my satnav DVD.

Thanks

Yes you can - but at the slowest speed and with avery high quality DVD blank disc.

Can I just remind you all that copies of map DVDs are only legal if you have an original disk containing the same base material ... :telloff:

pvr is right, and the issue is bigger than you may think... Sites like our exist largely because BMW tolerate us, but people discussing sending out "backup copies" just draws unwanted attention to ourselves. While our site "as is" is not threat to the profits of BMW, in fact you could argue it is good for the brand, talk of backdoor methods of getting the latest Nav DVD is most certainly not.

Please refrain from taking the discussion along those lines or the thread will be deleted.

Just to make it clear I totally stand with sp3ctre & pvr on this.

Some may feel there could be less demand for pirate discs if originals were cheaper, however, I am keen to avoid the consequences mentioned.

I hope decent folk on here can, (or if not - will ), understand why your admin team are keen to maintain this stance.

Thanks in advance for hopeful understanding & future compliance.
