The nav takes a good 15 seconds to initialize during which time the rest of the nav still works. Of course it starts booting when you unlock the door so for the most part by the time you want to use your nav, it's already done booting.

NBT's processor is over twice as fast as CIC's and it really shows. P.S. look at the copyright screen. It's Linux based too.
Well thats good and what I hoped. CIC is not as fast and requires some patience..........

I believe (but am not 100% sure) that the iDrive system is based on BSD. The best UNIX distro. The only other worthwhile option is QNX (Blackberry's new OS).
