You will need to go to the main dealer and get the sat nav option added to the spec of your vehicle.

This could be as little as just activation or as much as installing the whole sat nav option.

You will want the factory service manual for the vehicle. You can contact your bmw dealer directly. If you would like I can try and locate one for you.
Thanks,

Get your car to a bmw repair center! I had to replace my automatic transmission, had the same problem. Transmission fluid is a lifetime oil, and should be left alone! These transmissions are made in USA,and they ****!!!

Hi kuldipdhanja this sounds like it could be an internal fault with the video module or the sat nav drive, you could try discontecting the battery negative lead for 15 minutes to reset the control units, you will have to remove the spare wheel and unfasten the air compressor bracket to get to the battery, this fix may only be temporary but it is alot cheaper than replacing parts. regards mark.

SOURCE: Can you put factory sat nav in an X5 when it does not already have it in

Hello There

Yes it is possible to install the factory sat nav in you X5, but apart from the head unit you will also need:

  1. new wiring loom
  2. dvd navigation unit installed at the back
  3. TMC radio unit again at the back
  4. bluetooth unit
All the interior needs to come out i.e seats, floor carpets, door trims.

If you feel brave enough then there are BMW forums which gives you very detailed information on how to to it, but don't expect to get it done in a day or even two, a week is probably realistic time. It took me 2 weeks to do my first 3 series.

Hope this helps. Please don't forget to rate me.

Many Thanks

2001 BMW X5 radio works intermittently

Most sat nav/radio issues are caused by a flat battery! The most simple solution to try is th switch the vehicle off, go to the fuse box on the right hand panel of the boot (as your facing boot) remove fuse 24 (5 amp) for 5 minutes then replace and start vehicle as normal! This will reset the nav/stereo system! Rich B

2000 bmw x5 nav screen blank. radio works but no

I know this is an old thread, but my 2006 325i Nav screen went bank also, but the radio still played. I noticed the glove box light and trunk light did not turn on also. I was told from mechanics is was probably a CID module for $2200, even though I mentioned the glove box and trunk light light were out and specifically inquired about a fuse. The mechanics never checked the fuses, because I checked my fuses in the glove box and found the fuse 61 marked with a BMW symbol that looks like light bulb was blown. The Nav screen started back up once the fuse was changed.

My sat nav dont read the disc it say no disc found

If you've purchased a new navigation disc and it won't read it, you will probably need to get a firmware update for your navigation unit. If it won't read an old disc, check the disc for smudge marks or scratches. Clean it and retry. If it still don't work you can try a cleaner that you can get at Radio Shack or similar store. Hope this helps
