I've contacted the chap and offered him £325 inc delivery and he's accepted ( this is direct to paypal so avoiding ebay fees but with this you lose ebay protection but still have PP protection. He says he has another unit available.

Mines being posted Monday, due to arrive Tuesday.

Providing it turns up i think its cheap, so if you want one mail him an offer.

Obviously if they never turn up, you pay your money, take your chance. I don't know this chap from adam.

I repeat i've not recieved mine. hope mine turns up though. Seems to sell alot of Bm bits.

That's who I bought mine off, got a 2010 map disc with it too.

Thats good to know. I've read a bit on this topic but is it a 2010 disc i need, some sort of firmware upgrade v32?? and a range splash screen upgrade? Any ideas of costs and best place to get from?? and have i missed anything?

No, the upgraded FW on a CD. READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW. You can 'brick' a nav. Maps are burned to DVD and used while driving.

EDIT: the READ, etc. is a link, BTW. Read all you can before messing with this.

Can you say that last bit slower as worried now and slightly confused! Should i be buying a cd/ upgrade as if i can mess up a unit i probably will!!

Levasit= only been looking for week but £370-400 seems usual plus postage.

The orig units seem to go for 150-200 so at 325 (£125-175 outlay overall) the upgrade seems reasonable.

I may be wrong though and could be expensive as only just started researching!!

yea mate i did notice in the for sale section the mk3 units still hold some value, thats good..  2004 black Vogue TD6

Cost wise, I bought my mk4 complete with the 2010 map for £350 inc postage and got £180 back on ebay for my mk3 inc 2003 disc 2006 Mercedes CLS

Had a friend try and download the maps to dvd from that site and saying they are corrupt. Any ideas why or what could of gone wrong (Computers is his day job)??

Any alternatives???

Hi Nick,
Sorry - yes it was just a joke. I marvel at how someone can put an upside-down pic on an ebay auction...

The owner of the site you've downloaded from, Matt Stevenson, is a sometime poster here. I can't imagine that he'd do anything malicious (quite the contrary,actually) - he seems like a fine guy. Just out of curiosity - how did your friend determine that the files are corrupted? If they really are corrupted, I'd try a DL again or contact Matt. It's always possible his site was hacked (though I highly doubt this too). I'd really like to know why he thinks the files are not OK.



Alternatives are buying the maps:
http://www.bimmernav.net/dvdmap.html
http://www.bmw-maps.co.uk/ (I believe Dan was unhappy with these guys, tho)

And you could have your friend modify a FW file (or do it yourself - and add a naked lady splash screen if you like ). Search for NavTweak, the prog needed to do this. You'll also need the BMW V32 FW file. Here:
