Not sure what you mean by a ,,successful software upgrade for RTTI``.

No such thing, successful or otherwise.

I have the same question slightly modified.

Is it possible for current OEM NAV installed owners without HD radio to add RTTI option? There was a discussion on this issue on earlier tread, but is is still not answered.

JSpira has had some conversations with the BMW Factory Technical people regarding adding RTTI to those E60s w/NAV, but built before SOP 9/06. I think the answer is still to come. I have a 2007 530xi which was built the last week of production before 9/06, and I'm lacking the RTTI. BMW started advertising on 9/07/2006 that 2007 5-Series with NAV would have RTTI. Seems that it's a combination of software (actually, probably firmware), and hardware...probably a receiver in the car itself, and another antenna in the sharkfin.
