Hi all I have a e39 528i sport with all mtec extra etc etc

It has the built in nav screen etc but it shows maps and roads but won't let me find a destination or start a navigation it just shows the map and it looks like something from n ancient games console

Can I update it all some how and make it work so can be used as a sat nav not just a map screen????

Is it just a case of putting in an updated disc????

Any help or advise be great thanks

Ok mate cheers

On screen on dash my hand book says it's meant to say navigation as well as all the other options like on board computer and setup etc it got everything there apart from the navigation so I'm guessing the disc will put it all back on there????

Yeah for sure... Make a point to check the units in the boot area, tends to get damp in there ;)

Without screen info on boot up you won't know the software version... The hardware version is on the Module in the boot ;)

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
