Procedure

To load the new software:

1. Turn ignition to position 1 (terminal R).
Do not cycle the key or perform diagnosis while installing the new software. Make sure that the power supply is stable, i.e. do not switch on any electrical loads.

2. Activate "GPS-Navigation" and acknowledge the screen disclaimer by pushing the rotary knob.

3. Remove the map CD from the navigation computer by pressing "eject" button.

**4. Insert the Software CD V14.0 into the Navigation computer (the CD-ROM V14.0 bears the P/N 01 59 9 789 299 Index "p").**

5. Mark I System (up to 9/97 production):
After a few seconds, the BMW roundel will appear on the board monitor and will be "filled in" clockwise to show the progress of loading (approx. 3-4 minutes).

Mark II System (from 9/97 production):
After a few seconds, a menu of notes on loading procedure and "progress" bar appear on the board monitor.

When the loading process has been completed, the message "Software has been successfully loaded" is displayed.

6. First remove the operating software CD, and then confirm the end of the loading process by pressing the rotary push-button on the board monitor. "Ok" appears in the display.

7. Reinsert the map CD into the Navigation computer.

**CD V14.0 contains the following operating software:

Software version Application

7.7(7.1 MMI*) Mark I - E39/E38 (up to 9/97)
3.0 Mark II - E39/E38 (from 9/97), E46, X5
4.0 Radio Navigation (E46 Europe only)**

*MMI is the "Man Machine Interface" software in the Video Module.

Note:
The Navigation Computer automatically recognizes the required version when the software is loaded.

**Previously released Navigation Software CD's (V 6.5, V 7,3, V 05, V09, V11, V12) should be discarded.

Changes/improvements for the Mark I (Mk I) system:

^ No changes were introduced since the previous releases (CD V12, and CD V11.1)

Changes/improvements for the Mark II (Mk II) system:

^ "Software Status" in the Set" screen change: The software/hardware version is now displayed as "2-1/30". The numbers have following meanings: first digit 2 - is a 2nd generation navigation system (Mk2), second digit 1 - is a 1st device variant (top navigation - Mk2c color screen); the last two digits 30 - are the software version (3.0).

^ A "Mayday" (emergency) phone call is initiated automatically after an airbag is deployed (on vehicles equipped with Navigation MK II, MRS 3 System and integrated cellular phone CMT 5000VR, CPT 6000VR or digital CPT 7000). MRS3 System was introduced as follows: 3/99 on E39/E38, 06/99 on E46 coupe, 9/99 on E46 sedan, and since series introduction on X5 vehicles.

^ There is no need to manually enter VIN number into the "Telematics Settings" of the "Service Mode" of navigation computer on vehicles with integrated cellular phones (see SI 84 05 97 from July of 1999). The VIN number is automatically transferred from vehicle ZCS coding data.**

^ The distance to destination is now displayed in up to four digits. This feature meets the need of long journeys, planned when using the nationwide coverage provided on new Map CD's (release "1999.2", available since 7/99).

**^ Demonstration Mode ("Taxi Mode") software is now included in the operating software. This feature allows full demonstration of the Navigation System when vehicle is stationery (e.g. in the showroom). To activate the "Demonstration Mode:

a. Turn ignition to position 1 (terminal R)

b. Select "GPS Navigation" from the "main menu" screen, and then press Ok on the disclaimer screen

c. Verify that the current location is stored in the memory of the computer (to check current location, from the "main menu" select "Emergency". The next screen displays current vehicle location). NOTE: vehicle must be located in the digitized area to have its position evaluated correctly.

d. In the "Input Destination" menu, enter the desired destination

e. Press and hold Menu button for at least one second. The screen goes back to the "main menu", then select "GSP Navigation" again

f. With known current position and destination, select "Direction" from the destination input menu screen. The "Demonstration Mode" is activated (system will give guidance instructions, distance to destination changes, in the route map mode the vehicle icon moves).

g. To exit the "Demonstration Mode" turn the ignition OFF, or start driving the vehicle.**

^ The "Route Direction Arrow" is displayed as a framed arrow instead of a filled one, to enhance the guidance screen appearance.

**^ The quantity of language selections (from "SET" menu selection) in the system is reduced to two for US market (American English and Spanish), due to software changes for European markets. (It is still possible to change languages and voice gender by using DIS/MoDiC, IKE Coding/Conversion procedure - see SI 84 01 98 for details).**
