Since I went in last time to fix the window anti-trap function. They've updated the software for me, now there is a perspect view on Nav pro rather than just a map.

What I've also notice is that I can't choose Auto function on the Air distribution menu. Also it used to have a icon on the bottom left corner of the screen to show the current air distribution setting. This has been replaced by the CD track info or the current Radio station.

Is this the nature of the new software?

I've asked the dealer why and am told "Oh... Not sure, Sometimes BMW put new things on there and takes things off. oh.... don't know what version is that...... Should be the latest one....."
Professional service huh?? :thumbsdown:

I've got exactly the same after sw-update. I can live without it (radio/CD-information is more relevant), but wanna know if they will put vent info somwhere else in future...

Thanks Stafli,

How can I tell what version of software I'm currently on?

You're welcome! There is actually no way to tell sw-version yourself (have to ask the dealer). If you got the new software recently, it's probably ver 18. You can look in the enclosed file, and out of that try to guess your version.
