Hi,
If you PM me your details I have the latest update disk for the SatNAV Pro (2011) which you can download and burn, it will update the car automatically to the latest version.

Be warned though, that a lot of people have (including myself in 2 different cars) have trouble with the burned discs not working very well.

yeah find a .iso of it and burn it using a program called imgburn. mine works like a charm and supposedly has traffic light camera locations installed. you have to keep the nav disc in the car for like 5 minutes with the car off though so it can update the idrive.
