I got discs from someone on bmwland then posted on once used.

Codes plenty around â‚¬60 euro, have a browse on gpsunderground
Sierra something was the guy I bought from, can find his email next week when back home.

Gav - if you would, I'd appreciate it.

Once you have the code for your car, will it work for all future updates or do you need a new code each time?

xenon · 05-04-2012, 04:13 AM

You need a new code each upgrade.

My small brain can't cope with this - how come some random bloke in Euro land can generate a trustworthy code for my specific car that changes each time I want to update my maps, when those maps have come form a separate equally random internet source? It just seems a sure fire way of introducing a virus to your cars Hard Drive.

The maps are an exact copy of those that are available from the dealer. To load them into a car you need code which is calculated from your chassis number and the map version you are trying to load. Therefore, using that code you can load the same maps as many times as you wanted but when a newer version of maps came out, with a different version number, you would need to generate a new code.

Just updated mine from 2010 to 2012 premium - £72 including the cost of the 3 DVD pack from a dealer - jobs a good one and I now have 7 digit post code entry.

Mike oxlong · 05-20-2012, 05:39 PM

Thanks fulcrum, did you just have to supply him with your chassis ID number? Also does anyone have part numbers for the nav discs?

I downloaded the latest discs onto my laptop so can burn a few copies if anyone needs them once I get some DL DVD-Rs.
