Nav Software Update (3-1/60) Particulars

I found this on the 'bmwnav' group on Yahoo Groups (originally posted on 9-26-02 by 'cfoote2667'). I thought it might be useful to some people here with Nav. I had mine updated today at Crevier.

------- BEGIN PASTE -------------------------------------

There is not much to say here....except that they talk about 9/2001
vehicles being the only ones that can use the v.20 CD. We know that
to be incorrect, as all 2001 vehicles in the BMW lineup had the MK
III unit to begin with. Therefore, I have no idea what BMW is
getting at -- I have the 'split-screen' software on my 2001 without
any problems. But, here's some info for what its worth....

SUBJECT
Navigation Operating Split Screen Software V20.0


MODEL
E46, E39, E52, E53, E65, E66, E85


SITUATION
From September 2001, all vehicles with "split screen" navigation
system will now be using Navigation Operating Software V20.0. Except
E65/E66 vehicles prior to 9/2002, which will continue to use Nav CD
V19.0. If Nav CD V20.0 is loaded into an E65/E66 prior to 9/2002 the
CIP program will prompt you to "replace the Navigation Computer". Do
not replace any parts. Reload Nav CD V19.0. All other non "Split
screen" navigation vehicles produced prior to September 2001 will
still use the Navigation Operating Software V17.1 and cannot be
updated with V20.0. For information regarding Software V17.1, refer
to SI B84 11 97 dated September 2002.

Note: When programming an E65/E66 from 9/2002 production, Split
Screen Software V20.0 must be used in conjunction with CIP V3.0 or
later.

Changes/Improvements for Mark III system from September 2001
production.

The "Set" screen shows the software/hardware version in the form
of "3-1/60" or "3-2/60". The numbers have the following meanings:
first digit 3 – indicates 3rd generation navigation system (MK3);
second digit 1 – indicates top navigation – Mk3c color screen, or 2
indicates radio navigation – Mk3m monochrome display; the last 2
digits 60 indicates the software status of the graphics component in
the navigation computer (MMI) Machine Man Interface.

Split screen display is possible, i.e. it is possible to split the
display of the on-board monitor and support map routing together
with the direction arrow routing.

It is possible to set whether the cursor moves on the map (same as
V17.1 and older software versions) or whether the cursor is
stationary and the map moves.

"Zoom function" for destination entry.

When entering the destination, the directory is constantly shown in
the display, making it possible to change the directory faster.
Further information is contained in the owner's manual for the
navigation system, which is provided with the vehicle.

PROCEDURE
To load the new software in E46, E39, E52, E53, E85, follow the
procedure below:

Turn ignition to position 1 (Term R). Do not cycle the key or
perform diagnosis while installing the new software. Make sure that
the power supply is stable, i.e. do not switch on any electrical
loads.

Activate "GPS-Navigation" and acknowledge the screen disclaimer by
pushing the rotary knob.

Remove the map CD from the navigation computer by pressing
the 'eject' button.

Insert the Navigation Software CD V20.0 into the navigation computer
(the CD-ROM V20.0 has P/N 01 59 0 141 891 index "G").

Follow the onscreen prompts to finish loading the software. The CD
will eject when finished.

Press the rotary knob and restart the navigation system.

Reinstall map CD

To load the new software in an E65, E66 follow the procedure below:

Note: Connect an approved battery charger before loading software.

Turn on ignition to Term R or Term 15.

Using the iDrive enter into the Navigation Menu.

Remove the map CD

Insert the Navigation Operating Software CD V20.0 into the
navigation computer.

Select "Yes" with iDrive Controller to install software.

The software will then load in two steps in approximately 10-15
minutes.

Do not touch the iDrive while the software is loading

When the Coding is finished the CD will be ejected and the
message "Installation Successful, Remove Software loading CD and
press OK", at this point select "OK" with iDrive Controller.

The Navigation system will then "reinitialize".

When prompted insert map CD.

To identify that Navigation software CD V20.0 has been installed
follow the procedure as outlined below.

Enter the Service Mode of the Control Display

Select "MOST Devices"

Scroll down and select "Navigation"

Scroll down a few pages until "Software Version" is displayed

Software Version should be 7.1.0

To replace the navigation computer:

When replacing a defective MKIII computer, a configuration signal is
required to allow the new computer to load the correct software for
its respective application. This is generated by using DIS coding
program "Coding ZCS C30.0" or higher and the Navigation System
Operating Software CD V20.0.

Connect DISplus/GT1 tester to vehicle.

From DIS Coding/Programming select "1 ZCS Coding".

Select appropriate engineering series (E39, E53, etc.)

Select "4 Conversion".

Select "3 IKE/Kombi".

Select "2 Language".

At prompt, "Is the CD_ROM present?" – select "Yes", but do not
insert CD20.0 in to the navigation computer yet!

First select the main language (preferably English) and then an
additional language (the choices are: French, Italian, Spanish,
German).

Select announcer's voice gender (preferably female).

After activation of automatic coding, the DIS tester tells you to
follow the instructions on the monitor for Navigation Operating
Software CD V20.0 installation.

Place CD V20.0 into the navigation computer CD drive.

Once loading has been completed, remove the CD and then confirm
completion by pressing rotary push-button on the monitor.

Turn ignition off for 10 seconds and then turn ignition on and
perform functional check.

After this step has finished, code the navigation computer in the
regular manner using the path "1 Recoding".

Important:

Do not switch ignition OFF during software loading procedure. Do not
use any other Navigation Operating Software CD except CD V20.0.

If the navigation computer is already configured for a navigation
system (Radio Nav, or Top Nav), the procedure described above is not
necessary during the subsequent operating software updates.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
The following problems may occur during the software loading
procedure.

The message "CD defective" appears on the display screen.

The message "Fault during programming" appears on the display
screen.

The message "The system is restarting" appears on the display
screen.

The installation process has stopped and the display screen is blank
and the power LED on the navigation computer is off. The CD will not
eject.

These complaints are usually the result of a faulty Navigation
Operating software CD.

For points 1-3 for error messages that appear on the display screen
try loading a new Navigation CD.

For a CD that will not eject from the Navigation computer follow the
procedure below.

Remove the Navigation computer

Unplug the voltage supply (blue connector).

Reconnect the voltage supply and immediately press the eject button
repeatedly until the CD in the drive is ejected.

Insert a new Navigation CD and restart the installation process.
