Can I convert the screens to English?

No, only series 3.

Do you, or anyone else you know, know if the earlier systems can be updated via disc or any other means?
If so, is there a source for a suitable boot-disk to examine?
Or any info on the update system?
( I like to poke at things until they either work or make smoke...)

I believe Xanavi delved into series 2 conversion at one point but it was only a partial conversion and much more expensive than the series 3 due to the complexity of the conversion. Series 3 use a hard drive, where as the earlier models were DVD based and the firmware embedded.

I think you are more likely to make smoke.

Once the Xanavi system is installed is it known if the satnav can be updated as road networks change.

Being a new user, I cannot access the page yet. I just bought myself a E51 and very interested in doing the android overlay screen on the original head unit. Can someone please share any link for parts and instruction? I came across someone who does supply and fit but are very expensive.

Thank you for the info. I imagine new people (like me) coming all the time and asking the same questions must be frustrating. So, thank you again

Ditto on the thank you.

There is a system available to buy for around £1000 plus off ebay and from Australia which is type specific for the S3 model E51's. I reckon it would be well worthy of the spend if it does actually does what it says it does.

Hello. I've tried doing this. Unfortunately after a while of fixing the satnav up and watching tv etc. it was great. But the satnav part of it was so off key with the roads. I was driving in the sea or in the fields. We just could not get it to match up with the satellite. Had it removed. .

Check out this thread. It's an alternative way of doing it at a much more reasonable price.

You can get a cd to change most of it for a lot cheaper.

Very cool. Just gotta figure out how to stop my dvd/cd player saying 'Reading disk...' I think someone put a cd in there and the music box thing started copying and they tried to interrupt it and now it's stuck.. ooof. Thanks for the share

Also forgot to mention that I am based in Melbourne Australia, can anyone recommend an Elgrand friendly workshop over in the outer Eastern suburbs?

I'm interested too, did you get any replies or any info you can share?
