3D map? dvd in motion?

Hi guys, Im new to this forum and also pretty new to the bmw world. Recently I purchase a 2010 x6 in perfect condition. I absolutely love the truck its everything I imagined it to be. Im not to familiar with bmws tho and was wondering if you guys could help. The x came with the original maps so I upgraded to the north america premium 2017-1. I have 3d maps checked off but I do not really see any difference. The map is still that grey plain map. I figured with the update it would change it up a bit. Is there another update I should do or is it the age of the truck that is the issue. I also wanted to know about dvd in motion. Is there a place you guys recommend to purchase the software so I can get that unlocked. Will this also unlock video playback off my iPhone? Thanks in advance!

Hi

To avoid the grey plain map, you have to uncheck the "Traffic situation/grey map" in the map options

PS : I'm also new to this forum, and to NJ, I just bought a 2010 X6 and just updated to 2017 maps

You can also get DVD in motion from the Carly app. You'll need the dongle too but you can recode a bunch of stuff and read engine codes etc so it's got quite as few uses.

Congrats on your new rides.

+1 the Carly App is pretty useful and you can do it to your own convenience as well

Forgot to touch on the 3D portion of your maps, some areas will show a 3D effect on your navigation like big cities. Hence why when viewing your navigation screen it doesn't really appear any different. Big changes usually are the system of the navigation itself (e.g. CCC to CIC or CIC to NBT) and etc. The navigation version being updated just provides more information, routes, street names and whatever else it consist of. Hope this helps!

To add to this, you also have to turn down(?) the zoom or scale of the map, .25 miles or 800ft and you don't see much of anything. 200 or 100 feet and things like buildings now show up as '3D'.
