i got the torrents from piratebay and converted the files to diskimage but when i burn it as a disk image at the slowest speed bmw nav doesnt recognize it on 05 530i sport and premium package

 

make sure you use the good disc. double layer kind. I used burnimage to burn mine and it works fine with my idrive. The problem is when I gave out the copy to several members here, they can't read it with their idrive.

 

forgot...i burned the 2009-2010 version. Haven't looked up the 2011 yet so don't know much about it.

 

yea i guess i need to buy a professional disk cause i used memorex bought it for like 3 bucks at big lots LOL

 

Use high quality disks, like verbatim, and DON'T use the burner in your mac. I did this too and the bmw had trouble reading it. Find someone who has a desktop dvd burner, a high quality one like pioneer or sony, and burn it that way. When I compared the disks I burned via a macbook pro and a friends desktop burner, you can visibly see the rings of data on the mbp burned disk, whereas the desktop burned disc did not show any rings at all.

 

thx for the tip there like 100 bucks no ?
