Mk3 Nav fail - Page 2

2.2-600-vtec · 16th November 2014, 12:34

Well I tried a few times and tried other versions, so I guess the nav drive is dead, I will have yo keep a eye out for one at the local scrap yards, as I have a bm54 I will have to get a mk3 or 4 on a plus note my local yards don't really know the value so if they have one it will be cheap.

Thanks for the help guys

well i finally got another mk3 drive for my car, so now all up and running again.
only one tiny problem its from a land rover so every time i turn it on the screen splashes landrover, so will look into changing that to a mg one,
problem being if i upgrade the software to change the splash screen would it in turn loose the of road navigation option?
its a nice little function that show a compass and a few little bits besides, seems a bit sad really but i like it.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Yes it will, that function is only on the Landrovers.

sell it on ebay, they go for a small fortune, and buy a BMW/Rover one and make a profit

Its only the software that makes this function i think,

I think the LR one has different firmware as well as software

2.2-600-vtec · 18th January 2015, 19:51

So all i need is the landrover software updated with a mg splash in theory?
