I have 16.2 for 3 days now without problem.? The new map is smaller due to the soft-buttons, but I welcome the trade off.?
The new software cured my headlight issues as mentioned above, but I did not detect any changes regarding shifting (SMG).? I love it now that you can turn off, or mute the radio permanently.? No more radio shock in the morning when your ears are most sensitive.
The little air flow indicator at the bottom of the screen is replaced by audio info.? I don't mind that.?
I also noticed that the i-drive boots up a little faster now.? Especially usefull with PDC.
All in all, 16.2 is worth it.
