Voice guidance question

usna2k · 08-27-2012, 11:39 AM

Hey all - I just had my '11 335d in for service and when I got it back, I noticed that the turn-by-turn voice was talking differently than I was accustomed...here is an example:

Before: "Now, turn right"
Now: "Turn right"

Before: "Now, keep left"
Now: "Bear left"

Why did it change? I assume it was a software patch to the iDrive system, but it seemed rather strange to me.

Anyone else notice this?

Probably got a software update. Should say on the list of stuff they did to it if they did or not.
