Duplicate 2011 Navigation DVD

jahdhami · 09-27-2011, 05:49 AM

Hey Guys,

quick question, a friend of mine is selling a duplicate 2011 BMW navigation DVD, he’s claiming that it's compatible with my E92 2008 M3 and it is as good as the original. Has anyone tried a duplicate one before on their car? Is it worth buying the original or just going for the duplicate copy

Many thanks in advance,
A

I have updated my dvd several times with 'non-genuine' versions. currently I have a 2011 disc that cost me about $45. all have worked perfectly.

My car is still 2008.... is the 2011 update significant? what changes?

sonnyb · 09-27-2011, 07:24 AM

Well supposedly has any road/layout changes, plus of course 'speedcams' are indicated, but I am not sure how useful that is to you over there in the US of A.....

anyone know where I could get a functional duplicate?

You can download the 2011 discs for free via torrent on the web. Downloading these without actually owning the discs is illegal however.

I have it, it'll work 100% with a 2008.

Here's the thing, it's not an official BMW DVD. the speed camera part was added in by a 3rd party. More or less, it's just a pirate version of the DVD with maps (at least as old as 2008). I still haven't been able to confirm that the 2011 pirate DVD actually has the 2011 maps, I have it, and there are still new roads not on the dvd map.

Edit: Just noticed your in Oman, I was only speaking about the USA maps floating around Ebay.

they were already illegal to begin with. I'm pretty sure the original BMW 2011 maps are on 1 DVD not 2

Only 2008 cars use DVDs, for those who didn't know
