Presumably it depends on the extent of the update required. For instance if your current software is only about a year old, then surely that will take less time to update than say my car, which is a 2004 model.

Apart from MP3 enable, what other differences or upgrades have you noticed from the upgrade ??
2) DSC button works as either press once and DSC is deactivated but DTC still active, or Hold the button down to deactivate all. Previoulsy im not sure what it did.
3) Auto headlights function is now working, previously the lights would always be on (i think this is because DRL is now activated in i drive)
4) One of the door pins would not always lock when driving off, this has now stopped happening since upgrade (touch wood)
Thats pretty much all i have noticed so far, there's probably more though

My Ride: 2005 530D Touring in metallic grey with black leather and brushed silver trim - Msport alloys
I'm interested in anyone elses cost/experience for this as I have just called my local dealer and been quoted ?220 + VAT "because it's a couple of hours work". Anyone got low prices in North/Mid England? Stirling is 200miles north and Bexleyheath is 268 miles south for me! LOL!
Anything closer at less than ?138 inc vat and I'm on a winner then for job plus fuel.
If Sanspeed are doing this then I guess it isn't just limited to the dealers then? Can anyone with the right kit do the upgrade? How does it work out?
Many thanks in advance,
Trippy.
