[bozo]

Hello Guys, I was told by a chap at an accessories shop that if u have UK Spec E60, you can just burn a Navi DVD for M'sia and it works perfect. Has anyone tried this? If it works how can I get hold of the DVD. Thanks guys.

This actually depends on the hardware that you have on your car...Do you have the single slot HU (M-ASK) with the 6.6" screen (also known as Navigation Business ) or the dual slot (CCC) with 8.8" screen (Navigation Professional)?...it'll definately work if you have the CCC...PM me for more info...

dear bro,

i'm using 525i sport for few weeks, and still learning to use navigation.

No...your navigation is not compatible with Malaysia's Sat Nav DVD...it won't even recognise the DVD due to the different format...besides, now japan spec's don't even use DVD's...they use hard disks drives...

Sorry to dissapoint you...But, if you really want OEM BMW Sat Nav on your car +
EU/MYS Radio frequency +etc..., PM me...i'll help you sort things out. But, it'll cost you a couple of RM's...

Bro japan recon you need to change the who ccc cost you a bomb.

wah... so many threads talking about CCC or Sat Nav lately... hahahha!!!
Changing the whole CCC for JApanese spec E60 definitely cost you a bomb... as per discussion, once you change the CCC, you will only lose the TV function... but add the ability to play DVD, MP3 and Sat Nav.
Of course there is another option - upgrade your car's software to at least v28 (the latest right now should be v30 and above) in order to have the "Audio Aux" in your iDrive. This step is important as the sound will be channelled directly to your speaker instead of radio frequency if you don't have the Audio Aux.
Then add Interface, DVD player, Garmin gvn53, reverse camera... like I did! I think Garmin's map is easier to view.. by the way, total cost should be around RM7500!!!
