General information on checking the navigation system operating software:
Navigation computer Mk1 - up to 09/1997:
The navigation computer software status can be read off from the diagnostic program in the
DIS. The test plan "Navigation" must be selected. The navigation computer identification
page appears. This contains the software status (SW number).
Operating software V 6.5 or earlier:
SW number (DIS): 4.7 or lower
Operating software V 7.0:
SW number (DIS): 5.2
Operating software V 7.3:
SW number (DIS): 5.3
Navigation computer Mk2 - from 09/1997:
The software status can be read off from the top line of the on-board monitor when the
"Settings" menu is pressed. The generation number appears alongside the version and
software status.
Operating software V 1.7:
Navigation system software status: 1.7
On-board monitor display: "SW 2-1/17 ".
Attention:
The new "Mk2" navigation computer introduced in 09/1997 cannot be loaded with
operating system CD "V 7.3" or earlier!
If such a CD is inadvertently inserted into the drive, a white field appears on the on-board
monitor, which does not then change. It is not possible to select on-board monitor
functions! However, when the CD is removed and the ignition switched off and on again
(wait about a minute), the previously loaded operating system is activated again.
The navigation system Mk2 is not supported by the diagnostic program with test modules
and diagnostic interrogation. Rather, reference is made to a function description after
selecting a test plan.
