Good job

So, this navigation will start much more quickly.

Can this kind of aftermarket navigation, be modified too? www.ewaying.com

Exclamation

hello guys and specialy Ao1 kioneo Jagaer

can you please tell me if its realy start faster than the orignal bmw hard drive ?

because for me i see no any improvment. when i resetboot my cic the normal HD the SSD make exactly 13seconds to have the navigation boot. about the zoom in zoom out on map is the same or almost the same (hard to mesure time like that).

please guys are you sure it make an faster boot or an faster zoom in zoom out ? because it look not at all for me... but realy nothing

my car E64 LCI 635D of 07/2009, orginal CIC no retrofit, with last map west europe 2019-2 usb. my car is fully updated with the CIC too with the last ISTA-P .4.17.x and ICOM Next orginal from BMW.

i use as you paragon disk manager 15, i did that on an Transcend TS128GPSD330 of 128gb --> https://www.amazon.co.uk/128GB-Trans...gateway&sr=8-1

and because i saw no any improvment i try with that too:


Delock converter IDE 44 Pin> mSATA 2.5Z 7 mm build height (i dont know if it is with an marvel controler but sometime it lost the the navigation like no hard drive...)

Were you able to get it faster? I also replaced my HDD with a 128GB SSD, but also see no improvement in startup speed at all. Wondering if I should try another adapter+M2...

The SSD upgrade does NOT affect startup speeds as the CIC boots from flash memory already.

That is why you can remove the HDD and still get limited operation of the CIC.

The SSD upgrade does improve map zooming and moves since that requires data reads from the drive.

Yes sorry, I meant starting up navigation after CIC startup and the BMW logo has disappeared. This takes as long as with the original HDD for some reason. Curious to know how much faster this should be.

The speed that the system gets a fix affects how fast you end up at the map screen so you may not see an apparent change there.

Once a map comes up try moving around or zooming in and out. Usually this is where there is a dramatic difference.

But be aware that the difference is conspicuous by its absence. You would really notice it more if you put the HDD back in... much like putting an SSD in a computer... you may notice it is faster but you don't realize how different it is until you go back.

THANK YOU!

I've just completed this and after inserting the SSD into my e70 CIC, it is greying out the NAVIGATION function and telling me "THIS FUNCTION COULD NOT BE ACTIVATED" - this appears to be some sort of permissions issue on the cloned SSD, ie it seems like it can't write to it?

Has anyone experienced something similar? I don't really care about the navigation that much (I use Apple's CarPlay), but other aspects might be affected as well?

Hi

How did you recreate those partitions? I have one corrupted (hbdebug) and maybe that is why all my music cannot be loaded (its just spinning)
