Online Navigation Updates

[RTAZ]

Wondering if anyone has used the website BMNAVIGATIONUPDATES.CO to update their nav. Decent pricing, but I don't think they are located in the US which makes me hesitant. Thought I'd check to see if anyone has had experience with them, good or bad.

Hi,

They're counterfeit copies of the software the same as anything out there that hasnt come from BMW, so its up to you if you you want to purchase counterfeit stuff. I'd personally say not to.

Cheers, Dennis!

Plus, it could have malware.

I had an online chat with the company on their website. They would not tell me what country they were located in, and suggested it was none of my business. I told them I like to know who I'm doing business with. They replied that they don't disclose this information so they aren't harassed by BMW dealers in the US. Pretty much all I needed to hear. My conclusion is that they don't want you to be able to find them because what they are doing is illegal, or near it, in the US. I will nt be considering their product furture. Hope this helps someone else.

Hi,

If it's not a navigation disk/update from a BMW dealer, then no matter what ANY seller says, the software they sell isn't legal, it's a counterfeit copy. Doesn't matter which country they are in either. The reason they exist is that they sell the item much cheaper and put up 'claims' of being 100% compatible etc and anyone who buys falls for it. Marco makes the point above too, anything 'non geniune' could contain malware too, you just don't know until after you've purchased it.

Cheers, Dennis!
