This was not intentional, from what I gather, they discovered the problem in testing. My guess is no one had a Gen 3 and someone said ,,oh let´s test that one too just to be sure``.

If there was any doubt, I am now convinced. I will NOT be getting this! First, I have a pre-Sept '05 production E90 so I'm sure us beta testers were forgotten. Also, without iDrive you get punished and don't get all the functions. Lastly, Jonathan - of course they were careful with YOUR car.. we won't be so lucky since we don't write for Roundel.

Well, after seeing that pic I am fairly confident that there is not a tech at my center that is capable of doing the install without screwing something up. I think I may skip the interface. There is currently nothing wrong with my car and I'd like to keep it that way. It just does not appear to be worth the headaches. Quote:
That would never happen at my center nor would the tape the trim in the center console. Repeat, never! Possibly 1 NEW iPod Interface for sale. Stay tuned. Last edited by SCA; 08-29-2006 at 10:34 AM.. |

Once you guys figure out more about what has changed in the iDrive interface (or can explain it better), please provide an update. I'm interested in the iDrive changes as much as I am in the iPod interface.
For example -- the thinner font, do you prefer it? Does it actually show more characters on the screen? If it does show more characters, have you found that to be beneficial? I guess that would be good for MP3 song titles, but I can't think of where else I've needed more screen space. I think the current font is easy to read, so I'm not sure I'd like it to be thinner. The more intuitive interface -- how is it more intuitive? I can't figure it out from Jonathan's photos. Adding the keypad to the phone screen is a great idea, although I rarely use my keypad. I dial everything by voice command and only need the keypad when doing voicemail menus. Any changes to the nav interface? If they snuck a "search by POI name" in there...

Im picking up my car today, and the iPod interface will be in there. How can I check to see if I have the new PROGMAN, or how can I get to the screen Jonothan was showing us? I have used iDrive once and that was on the test drive so go easy haha.

Greeney, on the startup, if you click on the controller (for "info") and your screen looks like the one drfluid posted above, then it's the newer s/w. Or, I guess, if the splash screen goes away by itself without you clicking on "accept" or whatever.

It also might means that they get paid more than us technicians. or this just means that technician knows you are a news reporter so you get special treatment. Either way, it is all good |
