Thanks very much. What did you do with the mds file? I notice you did not
mention it in your burning instructions.

I know people have been seeking an answer to this for quite some time, but I am not aware of anyone that has figured out if it can be done or how to do it.

Quicksilver, you simply re-type the .mdf part of the file with .iso. Kinda like when you change .jpg to .pct or vice versa. It's just a matter of renaming the file type so that Toast can see it to mount it. Hope that helps

3) Go back to Toast and select the Copy icon (from Data/Audio/Copy/Other)
4) Go to the pull down menu next to "Image File" and select the nav software (you should see the cd icon and "NAV_SW" pop up
5) Click Record
6) select your speed, click Write Disc and Voila! Works like a charm. Good luck...
Just a couple of additions. ( I needed these cause I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.)

After the download from the download link you will see V26.rar on your desktop, I used Stuffit expander to uncompress the files.

You will end up with one folder that says V26 folder on your desktop. Inside that folder are two files an mdf file and an mds file. Ucrew is correct; ignore the mds file. Now continue with the instructions from MogulB.

Result? The X5 downloaded the update so fast I turned my head and it was done. Thanks to all here at X5World. You are the best.

To let you all know that this is working on a European (Belgium) X3.

I burned the CD on maximum speed with Alcohol120%. If you use good CD's there is really no need to burn at a lower speed.

Thanks for the software guys
