56 reg pro nav 330d disc DVD update?

[Welshbeef]

Can you get upgraded DVDs with the latest maps?

My disc is the original from 2006 so am wondering if it's possie to get a newer version ie 2012 if so how much are they and where is te best place to get them from?

Also may insider a 2010/2011 version if it's notably cheaper but would ideally want a 2012. Will the DVDs stop being produced now it's a HD google maps not DVd

My 56 reg does not have post code search option instead it's full address

Can this be upgraded with newer discs or will it always be full address? I ask as when you search online for discs it days speed camera points added and also post code searing functionality added.
How can that be as you cannot enter postcode within the drive pro nav search?

Help am I being dense?

Hi,
I don't know why you can't do a postcode search if you have I drive on the pro.I have the same system (i drive pro) and was using BMW disc number 07-1.
Anyway,you can buy updated discs and they will have postcode and camera positions.However,the best that you will get on a none cic system ie yours is the 5 digit postcode search.
This isn't a major issue as combining the five digits with the location name normally narrows it down well.
Where to buy?You can either pay BMW lots of money or do as most owners do and use companies such as
http://www.satnavupgrades.co.uk/
...for a fraction of the price.There are loads of other companies that offer the same service,but I can only speak of the above.
I went from an oem disc(probably the same as yours) to one from this co. and it appears no different apart from now having the updated maps and camera positions.
Rusty,the chap who runs it,is very helpful,so e-mail or ring him if you have any questions.

When enter any address it's

Country
City/town
Street
House number
Junction

There is no post code search that I'm aware of. If it's hidden it would be great to get it as post code search is much better.

Thanks for the info

It's been a while since I got rid of my 335d, but you put the postcode in the City/Town catagory. Once you're a few digits in, it knows your doing a postcode.
It will still only accept 5 digits mind.

Thanks
Will give it a try later.

Car just keep getting better and better

Just to echo GWMD,I've put my old oem disc-07-1 into the drive and this is what I had to do,to get 5 digit searches...
-Select new destination
-Address input
-City
-You will then have the option of City/Postcode
-Enter your 5 digit postcode!
Destination input map is also a helpful feature

[Welshbeef]

I have
Country
City
Street
Building number
Junction
None allow

To confirm it's a 56 reg jul 06 build

Just looked at the DVD it's 06-2 road map Europe Professional.

[Billyray911]

It's probable that this disc,as it's the one previous to my old one,didn't have the option for postcodes.
Regardless of whether it did,it's still an old version.Personally,I would replace it with a 2012 disc.

[Welshbeef]

Yep I agree 6 years out of date loads of new changes and if replacements have the post code search function then that's a big improvement.


Do the maps do eastern Europe top in detail as I'm going on a big road trip round Europe mainly the east

I couldn't answer that one.I'm not promoting that satnav company that I posted the link to,but if you do
choose to buy,either shop around or give Rusty a call,as he was very helpful when I had a few questions.

I got a 3rd party map pack with my car.
It does do european maps, but you have to "force" it to select the countries (meaning that the dial said that was the end, and then either push it beyond, or use the steering wheel controls to get the rest of the countries)
