No nav update?

leo95se · 11-26-2011, 04:43 PM

Brought my car in for 16k service and asked for map updates to be applied. I have an 09 with the 2009-01 maps installed. They said no updates showing for my vin.. Interesting. Anyone have new maps?

I find that rather surprising.

I have a 2010, late 2009 build with I think the 2009-2 map data. I know I've seen 2010 map data on a F10 5-Series I test drove.

I'm looking to get the map update this Friday with my M Exhaust install. We'll see.

I have a 2009. My NAV is the worst crap I have ever used. Terrible maps. I complained to the dealer and they are updating my maps to the latest NAV version. Tomorrow. Under warranty.

I'll update after I get it back.

Yes!!

The dealer installed the latest 2011 maps under warranty. It required a total software update. Prepare for a two day service! LOL You know.... Software takes 5 hours. Map loading another 3 hours. Car doesn't go into shop until lunchtime.....whoops. Not done by 5. NAV update requires an authorization code from Germany btw.

I also got a new battery since mine was weak. Also under warranty. AGM battery! The battery also required a system update as the new battery is AGM and requires the car to be coded for it. I drive about 6K a year. Glad they covered me.

The new NAV is vastly superior! Works well now and has some enhanced locations and features.

As a result of all this, I was forced to get the ESS direct flash tune. I had to replace the tune they overwrote with the new locked stuff.

"Under warranty?" How did you get them to do that?

They covered a $200 upgrade under warranty? How did they see it was available for the car? I'm still baffled they said it's based on vin.
