[gavp84]

Evening,

My new X5 has a Dynavin unit in it but when I press nav it says it dosent have the software. Any help would be appreciated. I'm guessing at it should have some sort of card but it isn't there!?

Cheers

I had the Dynavin D99 windows CE version, if it's got 2x  Micro SD slots in the front, one is for maps the other can be used for music files. You can buy maps on eBay on micro SD. Then you have to install the card, go to settings and set the card up, I will search a. It more for the exact menu you need to gethe maps to work. I had IGO Primo maps. ( best maps for Chinese headunit, full 7 digit postcode search too ) go to settings, set navigation path, file will be the name of your installed maps.

you could speak to Stewart at Auto ELectronics who are the UK distributors. I have found him very helpfull 0845 0756050.(option 0) If your not completely clued up on the system you can find a lot of info on the Dynavin web site.

How do I figure out if it is windows or Android!?

[Horizon]

I believe the android one is capable of running google apps, and the navigation is google maps, not done from an SD card.
BUT I'm only guessing as I didn't have the android version, has yours got 2x micro SD card slots  the front?
( mine was marked Nav on one of them )

[gavp84]

Yes mine has two slots one for the nav. I have found out it is a windows one and have ordered a card.

Thanks

Someone must have had the card away then, when you install the new card go to settings and set the nav path to
( whatever version  of maps you have bought ) .EXE and all should work.

be careful of doing updates, I had steering wheel use, voice activation, everything I wanted really and then updated to the latest software because it said it ironed out a few bugs. I now don't have any of the above and it's very difficult to get the old version of the software. Stewart is kindly sending me an SD card with the old software. I think it's all about Dynavin steering you towards getting the iLink.  £300?
