![]() ![]() So, there are 3 ways to determine which iDrive system you have: 1. ![]() You can read about it in our blog post on basic BMW navigation systems. In case there are options like S6UNA, S6UPA or S606A, it means you have a lighter version of pro nav. If you have option S609A, you will see it in Vehicle Options. In order to check whether your car has it, go to free VIN decoder and type in your VIN. PLEASE NOTE that this is a guide for BMWs with Navigation System Professional (S609A) and Live Cockpit Professional (S6U3A). So, how do you check the iDrive version in your BMW? But to know how to retrofit it and what you will get with the new system, first you need to find out what you have and what features are available in your existing iDrive. And if something’s missing in your existing system, you’re not stuck with it.įortunately, there are aftermarket solutions like BimmerTech’s navigation retrofits that allow you to upgrade the iDrive for a reasonable price. However, there are some key distinctions between the iDrive versions that will really make a difference for a driver who likes to stream music from various devices, play films on the BMW display or use their favorite smartphone apps through the car’s system. And sometimes the financial difference is so drastic that you make an immediate decision – a 200 GB hard drive or full screen zoom for video playback may not be an absolute necessity for you. The iDrive system (or the head unit, which is its main element) in each BMW defines not only the availability or absence of these very features, but also its price. I'd rate the diving not as good compared to the Caymans/T&C.BMW is constantly working on iDrive interface changes, as well as introducing newer, more advanced hardware and faster processors to support new features. It's shallower diving with fans/soft corals. Good diving also, we frequently saw turtles, an occasional shark. At several dive sites we saw snorkel boats also.Ī couple of the resorts also have private bays where they only allow snorkeling - the coral comes right up to the surface so boats can't get in there. There's also shallow snorkel spots at some of the smaller islands. The Baths there is world-class snorkeling. We spent a week on Virgin Gorda a few years ago. Croix also has some good snorkeling, the Frederickstad Pier or Buck Island National Monument just a short boat ride away. John has Trunk Bay and other snorkel trails plus 1/2 the island is a Marine Reserve. If your focus is more on snorkeling, maybe the Virgin Islands also. I don't know about snorkeling on either island but have seen it mentioned. In the winter months, the Humpbacks go near Grand Turk on their way to the Silver Banks - snorkel only. Both locations are a longer boat ride from Provo - the main island - or Grand Turk, a smaller island which is also the cruise port. Saw several big grouper and frequently turtles. At one site in French Cay I stopped counting Stingrays when I reached two dozen. ![]() Off Turks and Caicos we saw sharks on just about every dive in nearby West Caicos or French Cay. There's supposed to be big Grouper there since they're protected. Bountiful Bloody Bay Wall | Sport Diver I've never been there but it's on the list. It's one of the top wall dives in the world. Little Cayman has Bloody Bay Wall offshore. Google Testudo's Guide, he lists Grand Cayman snorkel sites with pictures. The top almost breaks the surface and the bottom is around 60'. You can also snorkel or dive the Kittiwake, it was put down as a dive site. Smiths Cove or Cemetery Beach is supposed to be a better snorkel than dive. iDive | A Social Community Designed for Divers lists both snorkel and dive sites - most with video. There's also sharks at certain dive sites. They get out from the Turtle Farm frequently and return to the reef nearby. We've seen dozens of Eagle Rays on the North Wall/NW Point area also. Stingray City for rays - either dive or snorkel. Grand Cayman has dive sites that are also recognized snorkel sites. Both are fairly pricey if that's a concern. Cayman Islands or Turks & Caicos are options. ![]()
