My BMW Navigator VI is possessed

[darrell]

Got my exchange NAV 6 via UPS today. The thing looks brand new, but apparently isn't. Booting up found the map was 2017 version. So I registered the unit with Garmin and updated. All appears to be working. Will test in the morning as we will have mid 50's temps tomorrow. Will head to Shelburne Falls for breakfast at the Bakery. Good stuff.

As an aside, Garmin instructs to remove the battery when returning, which I did. The replacement came with a new battery, so now I have a spare!

I received mine yesterday and updated everything today. Still need to put on the bike to update a few items that can only be done when communicating with the bike. Bike is at dealer for a major service, new tires and Tractive suspension being added. Looked at new suspension parts today before they started installing.

Mine also had maps from 2017.2. I called Garmin and spoke to someone who said my replacement unit was brand new and in fact was assembled on Nov 5, 2020 and they had just received. He said as far as he knows all the units come with 2017.2 maps. Doesn't make sense to me but then my 2nd one I just sent back today also had 2017.2 maps.

As you state they told me to keep the battery from unit 2 and a new battery was included in unit 3 but nothing else like cables, screw driver, manual, etc.
