Or you can get one from you're loaner BMW during service (only works when you ask for a new car offcourse) and copy that one at home....which I've never done offcourse
Navtec DVD are protected ! You can copy it ... but it doesn't work !
that's right, you can't copy it, but you can clone it

It's no use to buy the new DVD each year. There are not so much changes that you may think ! Every 2 or 3 years is good !

Mine works perfectly. And it a clone.

Yesterday I asked to BMW if they were willing to pay for the upgrade of the navigation system maps (my maps are release 2005-1 and the latest available are 2006-1). The answer was: no way, it's at your cost.

So, this morning I went to the dealer and I bought the latest Navteq DVD: total cost 348,00 euros, tax included

Well boys, now I have a redundant set of 2005-1 Navteq maps (full Europe): anybody interested? I don't want any money, just cover the freight cost.

Cheers
You could offer to burn the 2006-1 disc for a small fee+postage. That would help you get your investment back
Sign me in if u are willing to do that.

BTW the fact that you have to pay AGAIN the whole sum for the upgraded system is bull shit if u ask me.
i have 2005-2 vers.

Well, after you solved the problem, BetterMakeWay will make a copy and they bring it to me, also letting me drive his 535d for a while...

No problem. Exchange the experience. Petrol engines will always have a place in my heart.

Rather than pay ?230 for a DVD update I went on e-Bay. Result
1) a genuine 2005-1 disc for 20 euros, works a treat
2) a 2005-2 disc from Italy for 35 euros which was a clone but got my money back

Pleased with my 20 euro investment. No way will I pay the rip-off price

BTW the DVD is not encrypted in any way. It's a simple data DVD.
