08 nav updates

I've done a bunch of reading in previous threads and through google on updating nav maps but haven't found any info on updating 08s. Most have been 09-12. Is there anyone with an 08 135 flip nav that has updated both their idrive/nav software and maps? If so how was it done? Cd? USB? Also if you wouldn't mind will you please post a picture of your perspective view so I can get jealous?! I'm getting really tired of this old view. Cheers!

I have the 2013 Nav update. Unfortunately it does not change the views, it only updates the Nav Data. I do not think it is possible to update the OS. There is one person on the forum that has retrofitted a new system to his 08 but it was quite expensive. It must be time to buy a new car to get the new system

I saw a German shop installing a newer Navi system in an e90 pre lci. I think it runs around 700 euros. Its not cheap but it can be done.

I think the early Nav system use CD's to update the nav maps/data. Newer HD based systems use a USB stick with new data maps on them.


Tischer sells the Nav updates. Maybe you should ask Jason there whats what.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll definitely try to give Tischer a call and see what they say.
