I'm having these two problems with my car - anyone else? (details inside)
1) The B&O is one of the biggest wastes of money I've ever spent. I already had that feeling, but now the speaker grills are rattling (which I can hear when the stereo is off). Anyone else having this problem?
2) My NAV is terrible. Twice in the last few days it's taken me to the wrong address. It gets the street correct but has taken me to somewhere that's like 400 numbers away from where I plan to go. It's like it's shifted or something from time to time. But it's not every time. I've triple checked the addresses. Anyone else? Thanks in advance! |

Sorry to hear bro. I haven't had either problem with mine. Yeah if I had to do it all over again I'd prolly not get the B&O and get the Drivers Assistance Package instead. I do like the look of the B&O though, so it was probably that combined with the high fidelity if the B&O that did it for me. So far I'm enjoying the B&O very much though. I blast the music as much as I can. Lol!

Sorry to hear so far NAV works far better than my 2006 650ic, and no comment on the B&O. The upgrade vs. the non upgrade just didn't for me when I drive I mainly listen to talk radio. I like to have a glass of wine when I enjoy music so the car music didn't appeal to me. Hope you get it all worked out. Happy Turkey Day

Regarding Nav - this is a well known issue with all BMW Nav since 2010. They switched the mapping provider to another provider which offered better graphics. So we now have better graphics than Lexus does, but worse maps. Unfortunately not much we can do - it is part of the burden of owning a BMW these days. It does vary by region. I have never been sent to the wrong place in Florida or Georgia. I fell victim to this in Europe. However I have heard in other parts of the country the nav data is horrendous.

This is the first time I am hearing about speaker rattle. I am sure it is a one off. Otherwise there would be long threads on the regular 6 series and 5 series forums.

You ain't missing much with the DA package. If I had to do over, I'd probably skip it. Surprisingly, the one DA feature I really enjoy is the speed limit info in the HUD. It's really cool and kind of nice to have a gentle reminder of just how much you are currently breaking the law ;-)

Wanted to report problem free with B&O. No nav issues that I've noticed. I usually use it as a reference to get me in the area, and then look for the right address.

I love the B&O, however I occasionally get a rattle from speaker vibration and I am getting a speaker distortion from the center channel at high RPM caused by the "active sound" Not pleased about this.

Happy I did the B&O no rattles and no Nav issues (yet?) although I agree not as good as the 2012 Audi I rented outside of Munich. Audi Nav was much slower though.

iPod Integration
If you own an iPod, install and sync the iPod as an External Hard Drive through the car's iPod USB adapter. You will then have the ability to select artists, playlists, genres, and view album art work on the car's display and have the total functionality of the iPod. I use an iPod Classic 160GB with my entire iTunes Music Library ripped directly from the CDs as Apple Lossless Audio files. The resulting quality of sound is about the best possible. I have found that if you do not rip directly from the CD the sound is sometimes compromised, often quite noticeably.

As many of you know, I originally was going to omit the B&O after listening to it in the 650i. Then I changed my mind and ordered it. I'm glad I did. It is a very nice sounding system. I just wish the speaker grills in the doors fit without the plastic surrounds like in the 6-series.
The nav system is a mixed bag. It's not as good as the old nav in my old E60, but a definite improvement in accuracy over the navigation in the wifey's 2010 X5. |
