Mk3 sat nav language change
Hi,
My mk3 sat nav is only in EN/DE so i tried to change the language to french with navcoder and now it's asking for the software disk. Unfortunately the BMW V32 nor the V22 seems to work. Does anybody know what i can do? Thx a lot |

i might be wrong on this but here goes!if you are trying to upgrade change the o.e.m rover mark 3 drive you might be stuffed.the rover mk 3 drive is a dummed down version of the bmw mk 3.but to make matters worse it has a block on it so it cannot be upgraded.this is probally not the correct technical term but i am sure you understand what i mean.i think to get a unit you can change you need a bmw mk3 which can be changed if you are good with a computor.or the best but not cheap is the bmw mk4 dvd nav drive which can be done quite easily.the bmw v32 disc is for the mk 4 b.t.w which will not work

Actually i've already upgraded to the Mk4 + 16/9 boardmonitor but i gave the old sat nav system to friend of mine who really wanted the satnav in french so i wasn't really trying to upgrade it, just change the language. And BTW there is also a v32 for the mk3

If its a Rover sat nav unit it can't be upgraded with the BMW software.
You can go to the settings menu and this has some language options but I can't remember if French is one of the options. If French isn't one of the options you may be able to get this changed with a T4 session |

well there you go i assumed that mk 4 being in different to the mk 3 and as the discs will work from one to another that the firmware would also not be interchangeable.i no the mk 4 uses the v32.2 as i have just put this in mine to get the 7 digit post code search etc.you live and learn as they say.i should imagine there will be away of changing the lingo as rover must have done this depending where the car was being exported to.and as also stated above would probally be a option on the t4 when the car was woken up at the dealers.
