Anyone with feedback regarding the Business Nav??
I dont think there is any change.
I had mine done last week.
One thing tho' (not sure if it was there before) - when you are driving and a nav command is not imminent, do you just get an arrow on the display?

Since mine was updated, I get the usual arrow, but at the top of it is a small icon that tells you what your next manoeuvre is. (like a small island symbol or a left or right turn arrow.

this is before you get approx 1 mile to the next manoeuvre

I'm sure that this wasnt there before... someone with bus nav please tell me.

HOORAY: They got rid of that damned KNEE-KNOCKER vertical grab handle on the driver's door! (still there, but padded on passenger side) and inserted a grip dip in the armrest! My left knee will never be the same.

Is the radio the last entertainment mode when you switch off the car ?
... if you're listening to a CD and shutdown, what happens ?
It keeps playing music but I am very happy with the update so more updates for me if something realy failure.

Have you tried with the latest 2007-1 Bus disc and the CIP 25. It could be that only that combination will get this working.

Tryied, but had no luck

I don't think it will work that way. LCI business unit is totally different. Someone with LCI and Business Nav could confirm. If Bus Nav DVD disc is identical, then there is a hope to display the maps on pre-LCI Bus Nav equipped cars in the future.

BTW a nice function that pre-LCI Bus Nav has, over the Nav Pro and maybe over the LCI Bus Nav is, that as soon as it calculates the route and stores it in memory, it is free then to remove the Nav disc and place an mp3 DVD disc in it, and listen hours of music, while traveling, whereas Pro Nav (and probably LCI Bus Nav) needs navigation disc all the time to be into the DVD drive, in order to display the maps.

Of course you can set ProNav into "Arrow Only" mode...

Ah, OK. I didn't know that (I'm freshly entered at Pro Nav) but again not a huge inprovement over the Bus Nav on this matter. I thought that it will store the route map in memory Who knows what it will happen after Ram memory upgrade to 2 GB

This is possible even in the Pro model. You can remove the disc midway through a route and replace it with a mp3 DVD.
