UK I-Drive upgrade to Progman v25?
There are quite a few threads on the more US focussed areas discussing our stateside chums getting their I-Drives upgraded to the new Progman v25 standard. This is designed for all I-Drive/professional Nav equipped E90-92s produced prior to March 07.
As I understand it this speeds I Drive up greatly and more specifically solves the problem where the Arrow view map doesn't pop-up with dynamic Nav guidance info when you have set the right hand side display to one of the map views. ![]() Has anyone in the UK had this upgrade carried out? Has your dealer been okay with doing it under warranty? I have my car booked in to look at this on friday but the service rep that I spoke to seemed to know nothing about the new software standard. My worry is that it's only being rolled out in the US and not here. ![]() Appreciate any feedback!

I spoke recently with my local dealer (Cooper Thames Ditton) and once I told them about the arrow bug they where happy todo the upgrade. I postponed it because 25.02 breaks real time traffic information (which they also acknowledged). We agreed they would call me when 25.04 arrives that fixes this problem.

I read that as "you get lifetime membership as standard" but may be wrong!

You get it if you order the Bluetooth with Telematics option (£535) or if you want it on it's own you can get it for £285

Thanks for all the info guys - glad to hear that these upgrades have been working out okay for you.
My next challenge is to work out what BMW Assist is and how I get it activated??!

BMW assist seems to be a combined accident/SOS button and also possibly Concierge type service (location based). It is apparently a SIM card built into the car and if you have an accident you press the SOS button and BMW then relay your information/location to the emergency services. It is subscription based after I believe the first 6 months/year. You can also apparently call and say "where's the nearest petrol station" although I'd like someone else to confirm that !

Telematics = BMW assist functionality. I'm pretty sure that the SOS button works even if you don't subscribe to bmw assist. The first 6 months of BMW assist is free, but I forgot to send of the form. After that I think it is about £60 a year. If you activate the system you can then speak direct to a switchboard operator and ask any sensible question (e.g for directions). Directions, addresses or phone numbers can be automatically zapped to your navigation system and saved in your address book. I must get round to setting it up really.

With such a phone, you can simply just hit the voice button say "Call bofarty" & my car will call Paul all by itself! (assuming you have remembered to turn on the car & phone's BT, paired them up properly & are in signal range) Quote:

The £60 sounds familiar.
So how does it 'know' who 'baufarty' is - do you have to teach it ?
