I've searched and searched and have not been able to figure this out.

I have a dilemma. I have a 2005 545i, with navigation & logic7. build date of 7/2005. I tried putting in a data disc with mp3's on it, and it wouldn't read it. tried a couple burns with ISO 9660:1999, no go.

I wonder how can I find out what progman I have without paying the dealer? If I have at least 20.00.00 then my problem is the discs themselves, or the format. But if not, then I'm wasting my time and need to get it upgraded.

What would you recommend?

Dave

I don't remember exactly what information this "trick" will show, but do this.

1) Push the idrive button down for 10secs
2) 3 clicks right
3) 3 clicks left
4) 1 click right
5) 1 click left
6) 1 click right
7) Push the idrive button once
8) A list opens, roll to the last line...

...if I remember it right, the program version should be shown on that last line. Someone please correct.
