Navigation » Where to buy nav v or vi?

Just picked up my bike today. My gps I used on my K1300s, a garmin nuvi, plugs in and works but as my bike is pre optioned for navigation I would also like the benefits of the navigation wheel but can’t justify spending the crazy price BMW is asking for the V and VI. Is there a garmin model that will work?

Hi Plum,

I don’t believe there is a garmin option that works with the wonder wheel, unfortunately it needs to be a BMW specific nav.

There are a few deals on the Nav 6 and you should be able to pick a new one up for £500 - 550 quite easily but I expect your dealer has already offered this kind of deal.

Yeah, I paid £550 for my iv.

I saw it on eBay for that price and my dealer matched it.

I can't comment on if its better than any other make/model as it my first sat nav, but the wheel control feature is pretty slick.

Watch for a used Nav V on the ADV forum.
Check Market Place, then Parts.
Asking prices usually run in the $300 to $425 area.

Here's one for $425 that has not sold.

You'll need to register to the forum.

This document shows the differences between the Nav 4 and Nav 5.

I think I would be looking at a 5 or 6

I ran the 4 for a bit and it did what I wanted but decided I wanted the screen and more wonder wheel function. I went with the Vl knowing a V would be fine and less $.
Glad I did. The screen is awesome. Rode in bright sunlight all day yesterday never had an issue with sun. I know BMW is real proud of the Vl and priced accordingly.

There's a Navigator IV for sale locally for $250. Those who have used them on your RS, is it safe to assume they power up and down with the ignition but you do all your interfacing through the touch screen? For the little bit I see me using one that doesn't sound like a bag compromise to save $700. I'd be interested in any feedback.

I picked up a used Nav IV in the UK for around £120 a couple of years ago.

It has a limited range of functions linked to the wonder wheel and a smaller screen but it has served me well at a fraction of the cost of a new/used Nav V or VI. They have auto power on/off and links to my phone/Sena headset. I've never got lost using it..........

Depends what you are looking for - basic integrated GPS or the latest BMW tech.

I'm in Sykesville, MD. I've not seen a Nav V lower than $550.
