software update

longtran · 12-07-2005, 11:47 AM

i just got my car back yesterday. the software update seem to make the idrive/navigation to work better. the bluetooth is a lot better too. i only notice 2 things that the software update change. 1, the name of the staion was on the screen and 2, when hanging up the phone, instead of the screen staying on at communication it goes back to the screen you orignally was using before you had to use the phone. before the update i experience echo while using the phone. i dont know if this software upgrade had something to do with it, or it was just my phone. i use to have the blackberry 7520, now i am using the nextel i870. no echo.

Wish I had mine back. Into second week here. I've had that X3 loaner for so long, I'm thinking I should go to an X3 forum.

No software glitches on my car. Who told you about that? Any further information would be appreciated. How many people experiencing the glitches? What are the specifics of the glitches?

Don't you mean GPS PDA?

My cousin had one. Great device.

Thanking you in advance of your response.

Cheers

No iDrive here -- but I did see an improvement in Bluetooth connectivity with my Motorola Razr V3 -- it connects reliably in the car, whereas pre-software update the connection was hit or miss.

I

the Navi and iDrive, and I have experienced no software glitches or other issues with it.

hey, maybe your dealer dont know what to do. maybe you should call them and tell them to call my dealer (new centuary bmw) to ask them how to update the software?? 2 weeks is awfully long for a software update.

Still no word -- except thanks for your patience. I think it may just be that they're so busy, and I told them I'm in no rush. I'm way over miles according to my annual allotment, and this will help even me out. Also with the holidays, the X3 has really come in handy with shopping, etc. So I'm ok, but I really miss my car.

The I-drive nav works better than portable navs because it doesn't black-out in big cities around high-rise buildings. My friend's Garmin was alway losing it's signal driving through downtown Frankfurt to the point that it was useless. Mine never even hickuped.

Just picked up the Beemer today from the dealer and had the supposed latest updates installed. With it came:

Day-Time Running Lights
Auto-Lock 10MPH Doors

Also supposedly a Computer emission recall update. All works well.
Had them check on a annoying ratling noise comming from the driver side seatbelt anchor. Of course they couldnt "duplicate it"...
