You were supposed to ask for the Final Report which would have given you the Target Data Status. At least with that you would be able to tell if you really had 25.00.00, 25.01.00 or something newer. The cross reference is in the Dealer Service section as a sticky. Do NOT do another service without asking for a copy of the Measures Plan and or Final report to be provided to you. No other way than this, especially with a 545 with no RTTI than might have a difference between the versions in 25.##.##.

 

Are most of you guys getting the update under warranty?

thx

 

I don't know if its all in my head, but the suspension seems firmer after the software update. Maybe the ASR is stiffer?

 

Maybe the dealer put some air in your tires. A good one will always check the tire pressure during any service.

 

Car was upgraded to day to Progman 25, dealer just called to tell me that there is no sound coming from the stereo. So they need to reprogram, problem is I won't get the car for the weekend. Has anyone else had errors after upgrade?

 

I went to dealer to fix a malfunctioned window, I asked them to upgrade the software to 25.xx but they refused to do so. The reason is "we don't want to open a new can of worms" if you car is not running to bad. I told him I have MP3 problem + Navi freeze problems. They can re-generate the problem and I am just not getting the new update. what should I do?

 

Tell them that the CD over-runs when the car is switched off, that is one of the many faults cured by Progman v.25xx. I've just have mine done because it did have this problem, and now it is rectified. there are several other improvements on Progman v.25xx too. Definatley worth doing IMHO.


Doogie

 

Which dealer did you go?

 

BTW cobradav, you're a serious wealth of info here, so thanks for the help! My GF got the paperwork and I looked it over, and sure enough, it states right on the final report "update with software version 25.00.00". Lovely... I think next time I need to go there with her to inquire as to why they would go through all the hassle of updating her car and use an old software rev. At least the good news is, the software update we did receive fixed a bunch of isses with the engine & tranny response. The thumping during shifts & rough engine are gone, along with the poor & jerky throttle response! Still not quite as smooth to drive as my AMG or old M3, but overall worlds better. Her car must have been 20 revs back on software previously.

However, the one annoying problem still remaining is that I-drive is still slow as molasses. We took a little trip this wknd & used the NAV to guide us the whole way & there were a couple turns I missed as NAV didn't relay the turn info until we'd reached or passed the exit. Also the I-drive still sits "frozen" at random times for 5-30 seconds and takes an extremely long time calculating routes. I guess looking on the bright side, we're at least 1/2 way there now. However, on the bad side, since they used an old rev that didn't fix all the bugs, we still need to go back again and spend more time discussing the fix with them for the slow I-drive...

 

Try cleaning the NAV DVD. My NAV was acting up and after I cleaned off some smears, it worked better. If the NAV DVD is a copy, try burning another one on a blank from another manufacturer.
