Im not trying to beat a dead horse but im still confused about the MP3 capabilities of my 5er...I have a june 04 build date on my 5er does that mean i should have the software in it to play MP3's or do i have to wait with everyone else for version 12.0 update?

I don't think any software version currently released (up to and including version 12) will allow MP3 play.

V.12 has NO mp3 support. My dealer confirmed May 2005 as the date for it.

flowerfred, you are right, the light is on. but still can't check the box.
Are you trying to activate this function with the engine running?

If so, when you go back to see if the box is ticked it won't be.

Activate the function in key pos 1 (or 2 as long as you don't have the engine idling)

Along those lines, I had a bunch of problems a few months ago that all went away when the dealer realized I needed a new battery.

Peace.

jmcaiado, thank you very much for posting the light bulb installation instruction.

browellm, yes, i have the engine running while i was doing that. so that seems like a very simple procedure, not a problem. thanks for letting me know. why the technician in bmw didn't know what's going on? now i'm worried. i don't want to take my car back there and have them do any kind of service .

That's correct.
BMW announced that software version 12 will fix that, but they had to fix other more important stuff first.
As of now we are looking at a software update in October what will fix it. (It will be ready in late September - we'll get it October or later).


Hi objetti,

Sorry, i don't have that info.
Hey jmcaiado (If you have any tech questions about the E60 I have the answer), is that a gotcha ?


just kidding, buddy.

This is really terrific that you are checking your TIS data to help us with our problems.

THANKS !!!

OK...what is the buzzing or humming noise that my car makes for about 60 seconds after it's been sitting for a while and I go to open the door or trunk??

TIA
