Yep,
I got upgrade done yesterday, it took 2.5 hours. Note that mine is not fully loaded with the goodies that most seem to have...
My initial findings:
1. (That was the main cause for my upgrade) Driving lights are not switched to parking lights when turn key to engine off. Required manual turn off the lights and next time you get to car, you had to turn the lights on.(This is an issue in coutries were driving lights are supposed to stay on all the time)
2. Advanced air-conditioning works more efficiently: in warm/hot conditions air flow is powerfull immediatly (auto mode) when you start the engine.
3. Independent ventilation came to active in I-Drive. And it works now. I can see the red light under the middle airc. control button in the dash when one of the timers is active. Never seen that working before in my ride.
4. Daytime driving lights check-box option available in I-Drive. I see that if checked, it keeps the driving lights on if lights switch is in auto mode in daylight. And if the checkbox is unchecked the lights go off.
