Hi, have you installed the tuner yet? I've installed mine and have it running but I can't seem to tune it. Aerials are installed on the windscreen and I live in Palmy Nth which has good UHF freeview but scanning finds nothing. What country did you choose in the setup menu?

Thanks Matt, Appreciate the help

The number is GF12789

Ok thanks, I've done that and now have the non-navi display and set menu (which is unchanged from before). I briefly tried a couple of the service menu commands but no luck.How can I get into that menu or tell if it's even RDS capable?

Some background info. I had a Dension gateway 300 in my 1998 E46, which I replaced a year ago with a Dynavin system (which is sweet). When I purchased the E39 recently I decided I'd wait to see which retro system works best, Dynavin or Hualingan before I committed. In the meantime I put the Gateway in the E39 (went in a treat with all the SW controls etc working perfect. So now I have the Gateway in the e39 but there is no CD text (which displayed fine in the older E46) So I figured I could turn that on via the service menu and I'm also keen to turn off the split screen showing useless navi info. It's here that I'm stuck and my investigations led me to believe I need to access the navi menu to sort at least one of the issues.

Hi Dean, It's a 2001 e39 540i M-Sport with the Mark II DVD navi system in the boot. In short, my screen is split with the left 3rd displaying navi info but because there is no DVD in the drive it's just blank. When I select navi mode it just displays a screen with FAIL on it. I was reading on other sites that with the correct Jap disk I can then access the menu to change the display options. I also read that the RDS feature is turned on and off the navi menu. I've tried 4 different combinations of key presses to access the service menu but can't seem to get it. What do you think?

Hi, I'm looking for an original or copy DVD for a Jap import e39 with the Mark II navigation system. My car came without the DVD and as a consequence I can't get into the navi menu or service menu to turn on RDS and change other options. Can anyone help with a copy - they often get chucked out so I'm hoping someone has one they could send or copy for me.
