That disc updates only the operating system of the Navigation system. Its only for cars without iDrive (except the 7 Series which is a half way house between our iDrive and the older cars). With the new iDrive based cars all updates can only be performed by the dealer via the PROGMAN update.
and it is a DIY install.

It sounds as if you are saying that the 7er iDrive CAN be upgraded this way ("for cars without iDrive excpet the 7 Series...). I don?t believe that is the case.

Close. The update he is referring to is for I-Bus cars with satnav, not MOST bus cars. Cars with MOST bus WITHOUT iDrive cannot be upgraded via this method either.

The 7 series with the iDrive CAN be upgraded this way. Trust me I know because I've done it myself! The 7 series is the exception to the iDrive world. It doesn't even use the Professional Navigation DVD but the High version which is used on the MK4 I-BUS cars.
This will get more interesting since the F01 7er will have an entirely NEW iDrive interface and system.
