Guys,

Here you have the latest BMW Professional 2009.2 DVD for Europe

This PRO version is for the following models:
1-Serie (E81,E82,E88,E87)
3-Serie (E90, E91, E92,E93 )
5-Serie (E60,E61 )
6-Serie (E63,E64 )
X5 (E70)

Please keep in mind that this version is an image of the original DVD. So it doesn't contain speed camera's. You'll also need a Dual Layer DVD to burn this, as it is 7GB.

Cover: rs461dt.rapidshare.com/files/231611405/Prof2009-2-COVER.jpg.html
Label: rapidshare.com/files/231611676/Prof2009-2-DVD.jpg.html

It can be downloaded here, but you'll need a usenet account:

I am not the original poster of this DVD, it is a spot.


Freude am Fahren !

Same crap as 2009.1 for me

[malibuda]

are there any new countrys included

[philmcgee]

I tried the usual addition of speedcams and removal of unused languages to get it to fit on a single-layer disc. What's left over is still too big so it looks like it will have to be a DL anyway.

The own burned copies of the BMW navigation DVD's tend to be slower in responding than the original ones.
Is that also the case with the Dual Layers we burn ourselves? Or do they respond faster.

Anybody who wants to know the updates over the previous versions, please check the Navteq site.

Also anybody who can provide me of a working DL brand as medium for these DVD's? Today I burned the 2009.1 on a TDK which wasn't recognized by my system. The Sony DVD+R DVD's are recognized. So I'll stick to Sony.

Maxell and Verbatim work also

Then it is probably the DVD brand that's wrong. This is the original 2009.2 version. You'll get the same one if you buy it.

NZB is a format used by Usenet. Usenet access is provided by your ISP or payable via sites like: www.giganews.com

You subscribe for access, pay a small fee and done. Then you'll need a download application. I use NZB drop on my Mac but there are tons of apps for Usenet. Just Google on it.
In the application you'll add the credentials received for the usenet server. And when you click the NZB file the files are automatically added to the download list. 1 Hour later you'll have your DVD ready to burn.

Happy driving.

If you need more information, just search google on how to's and usenet. Good luck

I have an original 2009-2 disc as I was clever enough to negotiate with my dealer that he gives me updates for free when they come out

However, I still make copies for use in the car both to obviate the need to worry about scratches, and to add speedcam POIs. I recently burned 3 test discs and noted two things:

First burn was on TDK DVD+R DL and while the regular maps worked, no POIs worked and the system just hung on me if I searched for any POI category. Had to reset iDrive to eject disc

Subsequent burns were on Verbatim DVD+R DL and worked fine. I tried two different icons for the speedcams, a large blue one 28x28 pixels and the small 16x16 one we have all been using for years now I first tried the disc with the new big icons and it worked great. I then ejected it via the eject button and popped in the other disc with the smaller speedcam icon. Guess what? System still displayed the large icon. When I reset iDrive and reinserted the disc with the smaller icon, the icons were now indeed the smaller variant.

So it appears that the system caches the icons (and probabaly other stuff) when it first reads the disc. That's probably why the 5 minute wait after a new disc is required (which is bypassed by deliberately resetting iDrive).

I do notice that the system behaves differently with a DL disc compared to the SL discs I could always use in the past after language-stripping (see other posts by me and Rob72). While response for things like calculating a new route is the same, the system is slower to see that I have turned the car into e.g. a driveway, and it sometimes thinks I am on a parallel road if there are several roads close to each other. Strange. Maybe I should see if that is also the case with the original disc...

I always use Verbatim DVD's. Too bad that the DL versions are expensive....

In my experience, Verbatim works best and is (nearly) as fast as the original DVD. Burn at low speed, of course!

Does anybody know if the 2009.2 version is already available on DVD5 with EU speedcams?

Like I said already, it's too big to fit on DVD5. Even with all the languages stripped it's 200M too big for a DVD5. You could start stripping POI categories like city-centres which are not that useful, but that will still not be enough. Hotels and restaurants would have to go to get enough room and that would take out a very useful category of POI.

I thought of creating a DVD5 with just speedcams and no other POIs for normal day-to-day use, swapping out for the "full" disc when I need something more. But what's the point when it all fits on a DVD9 and it just works anwyay?

[stevep]

I have removed several of the useless (to me) POIs and got the image down to fit on single layer DVD. Reason I need to do this is that my Nav DVD doesn't seem to read DL discs well, if at all. Even Verbatim DL written at low speed. I am investigating whether a CIP software update will fix this (my car is a 535d, 2005 model with last update by BMW about 12-15 months ago under warranty). Does anybody know from release bulletins if DL was supported in more recent software? Unfortunately I don't have access to original DL map DVD to test.

Also, I saw somewhere that 2009-2 Prof has updated TMC information - no chance this will fix the lag between a traffic queues actually forming/clearing and my screen updating (I'm in the UK)? Would be good to be able to rely on the TMC data :-)

whats the link for the stripped down version that will fit on a single DVD

Did you just delete the .IDX/.URL pairs in the tables directory or did you also edit ENG.LSC to formally remove the POIs?

[e90postjente]

How can i burn the speedcam's in the orginal 2009-2 disk?
Is there a guide how to do this?

I replaced/copied the files in

http://rapidshare.com/files/23441216...dcams.rar.html

to a new DVD but all the PIO's aren't working, navigation map works fine.
Maybe someone can tell me if the files are no good?

[stevep]

I just removed the pairs (Police Stations, Marinas, ATMs etc) in the Tables directory to reduce the size. I opened the ENG.LSC file to decide which ones to delete until the image would fit a single layer DVD. I guess I should remove them from ENG.LSC too, or just don't select those POIs... :-)

You still get to keep the main ones I use - Hotels, Restaurants, Petrol Stations, Parking etc.

Hope this helps.

[brinta]

Could the ones that where able to fit the 2009.2 content on a DVD5 post this? I think most of us would to have that DVD.

Thanks in advance

Those files look ok at least at a first glance. You can see in one of my posts above that I also had a working map but no POIs when I used a certain DVD9 brand, but the same files (my own creations, not these above) worked fine ona Verbatim. So maybe it's the disc you are using?
