Mark III Navigation Computer

2001 BMW Z8SECTION Mark III Navigation Computer

The Mark III navigation computer retains many of the features from the Mark II system but is physically different in appearance from the Mark I and II systems. Most noticeably is the lack of the "CD-IN" LED on the front faceplate.

The GPS receiver module is now integrated into the housing of the Mk-3 computer.

There is also an optimized memory capability for faster processing and improved navigation operation.

The same navigation computer is used for color systems as well as the monochrome display used on MIR navigation systems.

There are also two 18-pin ELO connectors.

NOTE: The Mark III navigation computer is also used as a retrofit for previous systems.
