[QUOTE="funfer_fahrer, post: 191060, member: 2733"] An "Update" means - whenever new roads or intersection is built in K.L, then the current CD is not recent anymore. It is still useable but not accurate. When this happens, BMW will send a letter to its customers to "update" to a new CD. This service, I believe is FOC but I am not sure of the validity period. There was a case in Germany when the driver was driving in a foggy weather ended up in a river because the bridge he thought was supposed to be right in front was no longer there. An update is very important. I just came back from AB in Sungai Besi and managed to test the CD on my car. [B]Unfortunately, it didn't work![/B] This is due to the navigation software in my car did not recognize K.L/Sin CD. However, it does recognize nav CD from US, Japan, whole of Europe, Bahrain and Oman. One way to find out whether your car will accept the CD or not - just give the chasis number to AB. If there is "605" feature, then it will accept a DVD instead of the CD. When the guy at AB entered my chasis number the list of the countries mentioned above were displayed except K.L/SIN. So, you might want to try this trick just to find out. If KL/Sin CD is not displayed, don't hope too much. You can ask the guy to insert the CD if you are still not happy. BMW is quite smart in their marketing department. If you want the KL/SIN CD to work you got to purchase the car from BMW Malaysia, or the car that was built after the KL/Sin CD was launched. I've heard some stories of customers who bought the E60 from overseas (recond unit) but the Nav CD still doesn't work. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
