The Xanavi conversion will only work Series 1 V35 and M35's (2001 - early 2004).

A conversion for the series 2 (2004 - 2007) is being worked on but is taking longer than anticipated and will hopefully ready by second quarter 2011.

Hi Andy,

This is one of the things on the "to do list for 2011". As well as the Navi conversion.

Whats causing the bugs in the series 2 conversion ?

Cheers

I am not a programmer but I am told it is a totally different system so many new solutions required.

Just to add to the previous post, any developments on when the Series 2 conversion may be ready?

Would love to give you a due date but really do not know a fixed date at this stage. As the developer has moved to the US and this has made the installation process a little more difficult so he is working on automating the license process. Once this is complete the developer will work on finalizing the series 2 conversion.

Cheers

Andy

WOW! I have finally finished reading ALL 50 PAGES, 15 of them today, and now my head feels like it wants to explode. Im getting my M35 Stagea soon, hence why I am reading up on this subject.

Hey Andy good work on the conversion, coming from a club background I know what its like to do things for the club to promote and make members rides just that little bit better if not a lot. Hopefully the move to the US for your russsian contact doesnt slow the conversion :ermm: too much.

Got a question re the tv tuners though, I did read there is the Asuka tuners but I also did see a link for the HiTV tuners. Are you guys supplying both or just one, even though from the quick look at the Hitv, the Asuka looks better with the usb and hdmi jacks; though from previous experience with stb's I have had the rs-232 port can come in handy for firmware upgrades if needed. If you are doing the HiTv, what's the price and what experiences have people had with these if any.

Going to take some Neurofen now!! :sick:

Hi Guys,

Just bought myself a 2001 Stagea M35 250T a couple of weeks ago.

After reading though all the pages here I thought I have a chance on being able to use the Navi LCD in english or at least get to the "economy" screen.

But unfortunately the unit I have is the Birdview XFD7210 model. :/

Does anyone here know what model/part number the 2001-2003 xanavi unit? Or maybe have a spare one I can buy to replace this "newer"crap model I have here.

I'm located in Auckland New Zealand.

Cheers,

Roel

i have a complete working factory navi with screen, DVD ROM (for maps not video), tv tuner and all wiring.

also have the rear windows with the antennas in it.

the good thing is, its from an RX, so its the right colour for your car!

    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2. 
    • I love saying Samsonas lol. Maybe it's because I secretly want one, but also don't want to sell a kidney.
    • My budget has already blown way out but I've got most of the big-ticket items out of the way haha I just got the box back from the shop, got them to inspect it and install one of those refresh kits with all new syncros and bearings so should feel much nicer. But yeah if there's a weak point it'll be the gearbox, I'm gonna roll with it for now and hope it holds together. Do have an Xtreme organic sprung twinplate clutch to go in so if/when the box lets go I'll be back open for suggestions haha
    • Dose salivating at the prospect of being able to recommend a gearbox upgrade!
