One thing I HATE about the BMW satnav now is that it doesn't properly support postcode lookups, which is a when you've been used to that in the RRS

BMWs excuse is that there isn't enough space on the DVD for all the Western Europe maps and postcode searches for all of them. I think that is bo**ocks. Another rumour doing the rounds is that BMW won't pay the licensing fee to Royal Mail to enable full postcode searching. Cheapskates!!

Must admit I have used my satnav about half a dozen times , but, when I have ..... I have used the postcode entry as means of identity.  
" WITH MORE EXTRAS THAN A HOLLYWOOD EPIC "

I used to use my satnav lots and the postcode entry was invaluable. I actually prefer the way the BMW satnav looks to be honest but the only postcode entry you can do is the first 4 characters, not the whole 6. That gets you to an area and it then prompts you for streetname etc, which is no good to man nor beast. The touchscreen ability to type things in is much better than having to pi** about with the iDrive wheel too... so is iDrive crap? No it's not... but that's another argument

Similar system is used in Audis - but as you say the touch screen of LR / Jag is really the better option for satnav.

Bish, loading the updated DVD (I assume it will be the same version that ships with MY07 RRSs, if you look at the description of the new disc it says it has listings for movie theaters, coffee houses, etc., which are not included in my version, a 07/05 build) will most likely disable your 1791 "hack", if you care...

Have you removed the front plastic guard/shield that's immediately under the seat? It is held in place by four very sturdy metal clips, but if you pull hard enough it will come off (you can snap it back when you are done.) It's still a PITA to get to the drive and the eject button, but with that guard in place it is nearly impossible. 

Thanks for the tip. I tried pulling on the 'guard' at the bottom of the seat but as it didn't budge, I stopped pulling. When the new disc gets here I'll just pull a damn site harder. BTW, what's with all of the wiring spaghetti down there. LR needs to clean that up at the factory.

Didn't know it might disable the 1791 hack; that sucks. I'm surprised actually since the updated Navteq disc doesn't up-grade the firmware, only the software, (data); or so I thought.

Regarding the disabled 1791 hack, mine is only a (somewhat educated) guess based on the fact that: a) New European map DVDs loaded on 06 LR3/Disco3s and RRSs have reportedly disabled the hack code permanently, and b) The hack is no longer working on any MY07 RRS (and FFRR and LR3) sold in North America. I assume 07s include the same DVD version Navteq is now offering online. I sure hope I am wrong about this, I guess you will be the first "tester" of my doomsday theory. Let us know how it goes when you get the disc, I would have ordered the update myself were it not because of this possibility. I think the new DVDs do contain the dreaded load.kwi - or loading.kwi or whatever that file name is - that modifies the satnav firmware when you first boot it up, for good. That file is notably absent in my version of the map data DVD.

Edit: If you are in the mood and have the means/tools to do it, it wouldn't hurt to try burning all files from the new DVD, EXCEPT that loading.kwi file, on a blank DVD, and try loading that disc in the drive instead of the one you will get from Navteq. You never know... Worst case, it doesn't work.

Regarding the shield, I know what you mean. I thought I was going to crack the plastic myself the first time I removed it. Just as I was about to give up, it came off... Pull real hard and evenly on each side, if you pull slightly upward the bottom two clips should come loose first, then it will be easier to disengage the upper two. You will still have to work your hand through all the spaghetti down there, but it will make access to the player so much easier. 

Just a thought

But I seem to remember that the 07 model year cars now have sat nav on the move...??? so no need for the hack.......

This leads me on to .....

I also believe that LR will soon be releasing a software upgrade for pre 07 vehicles. [ this was discussed somewhere on here in the past ]
