80 euros, that's cheap for a software upgrade ! Do you have Pro NAV or Business NAV?

Voice activation is for everything in the car. Phone book, radio etc... Whats the differnce between pro and business. I think i have business. Have mp3 player, 6 CD pack and full loaded etc.....

Pro nav: Big screen, with navigation with maps.

Bus nav: small screen, no maps, only arrows.

Same here. No maps for Poland so I only get to enjoy the nav in other countries. I had the same voice activation issue as you do. Only dealer can change the language back to English and I wasn't able to find a list of German commands on-line. It's actually fun to shout German at the car...

Hey guys,

I bought my 2004 530d in Germany about 2 months ago. Now trying to get voice activation going, but its only in GERMAN.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THIS TO ENGLISH? When i press the voice activation on my steering wheel, it starts in german. I would love to have this system working in English.

PLEASE HELP ME ! anyone.?
The reason why the default is German is the nav disc is German, so you might be able to pick a CD/DVD from your local BMW dealer so it will stick to your language
