Software update
Went in for my first service yesterday. Standard stuff but they indicated that they updated the software. Figured with all the instability issues (w/ idrive, iPod function, tranny), the update must make things better. WRONG.
Things that have already gone wrong in the short 12hrs since I've picked it up: 1) no more album display from the iPod 2) phone book no longer lists in alphabetical order 3) transmission more jerky than ever 4) no sound out the stereo (had to cycle thru the modes before sound returned) Completely crap. Going to give them an earful Monday. Waste of time and suggest if youre going in for service NOT to update software. Good luck Last edited by koby; 01-27-2012 at 10:32 PM.. |

I still don't know if they do or don't update when you ask them not to unless there is an extremely noticeable aftermath. It's kinda like a trust thing between you and them.
I have an 06 e90 also and I had to bring it in last year for some ac issue diagnosis and they wanted to know if I wanted to update the programming. I declined as I'm happy w the car the way it is. As opposed to when I first got it and everytime they had it something was different or didn't work like it did previously.

Yep I lost my album covers too. They updated mine half a year ago without asking for my permission. I finally figured out why the album covers disappeared. The Transportation Dept forced them to do so because they treat the album covers as graphics (like TV) which is illegal when the vehicle is moving. Even if you instructed them not to update, they will as they are bound by the Transport Dept to do so.
It's just incredibly stupid. I'm thinking of downloading the latest software from BMW.com and doing the upgrade myself to see if I can get back my album covers and have my phonebook in alphabetical order again. |

keep us posted. My car is Sep 10 built and don't have 6NR, they have not updated my software as they told me. But my phone book is also screwed after I took my car in last year.

Koby, maybe they reset the transmission adaptive memory? if you complained about the jerkiness
RC, so we are too early don't get album covers /6NR .. so they don't need to update software to get rid of the album art right So lucky guys between the certain dates, if you want to keep art don't get update, but not really possible if you want to get dealer oil change or have any other stuff to fix. |
