Navigation Update

Hey guys,

I have an 01 BMW M5 and it has the stock bmw navi cd. I have seen some people who have almost like a plane's view of the streets. Is there a way i can make my navigation do this? Any new view updates and how would you do them?

You can't get those cool perspective views unless you have the Mark IV DVD-based Nav system, and then you need the latest operating system software. The '01s came with Mark III CD-based units.

"Is it the sounds that make a BMW a BMW? A BMW is designed to be heard, felt, experienced. So our engines sing. Our steering talks back. And we insist on offering manual transmissions in nearly all our models for drivers who crave them. The result is an almost telepathic oneness with the car. Just as surely as you can hear a BMW, a BMW hears you."

Ebay is your best bet for the MK4 system. There are always a couple for sale. It's where I got mine from

I got my Mark IV from eBay as well for $600.00. So search eBay. Then once you get a Mark IV you will need one of the latest software updates.

You can do a search here and find members that modified latest software that not only has the "perspective view" but also successfully removed the WARNING message during initial boot up and replaced it with a photo of an M5 on a bank turn.

Once you get your Mark IV, PM me and if you are still interested - I can mail you a copy of one of the latest operating software with the m5 boot up logo. Or come to one of our Seattle BMW CCA meet and greet get together.

Yep, get the latest DVD map of US. I bought a 2006.2 map in eBay 4 months ago for $90.00.
