English language. Australian navigation maps. Local radio tuning.
Make your Japanese-import BMW easier to use in Australia. Naviplus offers language, navigation region and radio frequency conversion for compatible factory iDrive systems.
If your navigation still shows Japan, your menus need English language support or your radio cannot tune the Australian stations you want, contact us to check the conversion options for your vehicle.

Keep the factory look and operation.
On compatible systems, conversion is performed through software and regional configuration while retaining the original head unit, display and iDrive controls.
We assess the available language settings and software options for your factory system, including English menu support.
The required work may involve changing existing settings, coding or preparing compatible language software.
Menu language, navigation voice guidance and voice recognition are separate functions. Please tell us which languages and functions you require so we can confirm support.
Japanese-market map coverage is not intended for Australian route guidance. This service prepares a compatible Australian navigation region and map package for the installed system.
The available map release, coverage and activation requirements will be confirmed before booking.
Future map updates are separate unless included in your quotation. New roads, speed limits and points of interest depend on the selected map database and its release date.
A Japanese-market tuner may have regional settings that limit access to Australian radio stations.
We check the tuner and available regional configuration, then update supported settings for Australian use.
Available bands and reception depend on the installed hardware and antenna system. This service does not add DAB+ digital radio hardware or repair an existing antenna fault.
On compatible vehicles, Australian navigation operates through the factory infotainment display.
Route guidance in the instrument cluster or Head-Up Display depends on the existing factory equipment and system configuration. Please confirm your vehicle's supported displays before booking.
Conversion enquiries are welcome for:
Compatibility depends on the VIN, head unit, software version and existing configuration. Not every system supports every part of the conversion.
On systems using locally stored maps, basic factory navigation can provide route guidance without relying on a phone's mobile-data connection.
Online searches, live traffic and connected functions may still require connectivity and an active service. Offline operation must be confirmed for the particular system, especially newer navigation platforms.
Estimated appointment time: approximately 3–4 hours.
Actual time depends on the system, software condition and work required.
Software and any required map licence or activation preparation must be arranged before your appointment.
Send your model, build year, VIN and photos of the main menu and navigation version screen. Tell us which language, map and radio functions you need.
