idrive sat nav
i noticed there was a navigational dvd in my cd player so i took it out, to play a cd . i then tried to use my sat nav but it asked for a dvd to be inserted for it to work . is this normal ? as i thought the sat nav would work normally and not only function unless there was a dvd in the drive ?
thank in advance mark |

I take it u just have the 1 slot ? And yes if u take the DVD out u can't use nav as the maps are on the disc and don't upload to anything. Do u have an iPod connection in the glove box by any chance? Or aux in the arm rest?

I'm assuming u have the business idrive as u have 1 DVD slot and no CD slot and the squarer display. If u go to eBay and look for BMW business navigation maps 2018. Gonna get 1 as well... been meaning to update for a while :-)

cheers for your help mate , i've only has the car 4 weeks and i've been trying to find out more about the car , i've already soldered the idrive controller as it push button had a mind of its own and at 250 from bmw for a new one i thought you tube was my best option and it works brilliant now , my brother in law did it for me who is a electronics engineer and he couldn't even find any broken solder on it he was quite baffled how it even fixed the problem after he soldered it . i also had the earth wire for the right number plate light broken so i've fixed that to. i've been searching the net for common problems i think i've sorted most of them now
