Nope, sorry. Garmin's map updates are completely incompatible with the GPS unit in your car. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, most in-dash GPS units are manufactured by Alpine, Panasonic and the likes. Call your nearest BMW dealer or the BMW USA DVD helpline @ 1-888-NAVMAPS. Remember to update the operating software as well.

I have the newer VRD-MC5, and as long as you don't finalize the DVD, you can keep adding to it.

Am I crazy, or is it more than a bit offputting that, after buying a machine, you then have to start getting upgrades for it just to be able to play newer discs? My machine's about two years old, and the last disc I bought wouldn't load. Seems like a rip-off to me. And it's not like blu-ray sales have been strong enough to justify this sort of customer fleecing.

Yes through clone dvd mobile. You can download a free trial. You need sly soft and clone dvd mobile.

Think that you will have no problem. Worked fine in my Kia Sportage. DVD player is "all regions". I am running discs from US and Brazil w/o problem.

I do not see why not. This is just a larger capacity storage digital video data disc. The only way I could see it not working is if the drives and readers are old, and not able to read dual layer high capacity disc. I have a DVD player from 2001 which does not recognize DVDR but everything else I own plays them fine.

It's probably not essential. But you can download the upgrade CD disc image and burn a CDR or CDRW. Then just drop the disc in the tray and follow the instructions. I recently did this to a Venturer HD-DVD, using the latest A3 firmware, and survived.

You should be able to use it. I just put the cd in and followed the instructions. It is a good program and fun.

Sorry Vince can't answer you question, it works perfectly in my BMW 650 2009

Janae, as long as you have some kind of Media Player for DVD playback, it should work. Jeff and Ken H are correct as they use Media Player. I sure hope we answered your question. Happy New Year.

That's a software issue. As long as you have the software to utilize either the dvd files or an iso, you can burn it to dvd

It works fine on my 2008 CX9. I don't know if they changed the DVD player or not that year.

I used this drive on my V5-471 it was not a perfect fit it is smaller in height and width, I used the existing frame on the internal DVD the drive works fine, Astatically it does not fit perfectly there is a border space but functionally it works great so for me this is fine. You may have the same issues

Hey John, it uses the same BMW cable, connection wise it should hook up but not sure if there could be a software comparability issue.

I doubt it will run without installation. I installed mine and it works great. This is not a plain DVD, it is a DVD-ROM.
