First time buyer E51 Series 3 vs Series 2 options

hi, old thread but whats the view now with series 2 or series 3? I am being told that the series 3 language issue can be solved by a firmware update?

Yeah - series 3 can be switched to English language with a ~£165 firmware update.

The series 3 also often has the 360 degree cameras the OP wanted.

Lastly, now there's instructions on fitting a head unit under the dash and displaying it on the existing screen, the inability to have a 2 din head unit mounted where the existing radio etc lives is a non-issue.

Hi Mark,
Any pointers to this information? Who provides the firmware update (link). Where is the instruction for the under dash unit?
Thanks
Alex

Nope, I've cleared the cache, I've restarted my MacBook and still no joy. I will check it out later, or I need to shout HELP to any moderator on line 😂
 
@MarkT I am IN, we have a winner. Once again, thanks Mark. 👍

Probably because it's hidden behind the mildly irritating 10 post block thingy. You've got 6 posts, so 4 posts to go.

- say "Hi and welcome" to four newbies in the Introductions forum
- log out
- make a cup of tea
- log back in again.

Link will work for you, along with all the other technical sections 👍

I will. This will be the 10th one. Thanks.
 
Im guessing now then that series 3 audio setup would be considered superior to series 2 with the above advancements, whereas with the first few posts in this topic more were leaning to series 2...

I'm interested in this too, got similar thoughts around a series 2 or 3, it seems either are fine and series 3 is now a better option for audio?
