My car was in for an oil / front brake, and software update. They tried several times to update the software and had been unsuccessful. They had several things not "take", so they tried reinstalling the old software. No dice. So now they are trying 20 again, but this time with a new communications module, and then another ,and then another. They are now emailing BMWNA back and forth. They look nervous.

I am at a loss for this one. They had my entire trunk apart. I miss my baby.

This has me so disconbobulated, I'm typing in fragments...

Maybe they should try some of these things noted on these release notes:

6. Make sure the MOST connection of the OPS/OPPS is connected properly and repeat Programming/coding of the control module.
7. Check the CKM settings and repeat window initialization.

18. Re-program the CAS again.
19. Use GT1/DISplus not loaded with CIP. Correction expected with with Progman V20.1.

I'm sorry for your problem CT. My understanding is that you can't go backwards with software at least if newer software has been installed successfully. It sounds like enough of 20+ got installed to prevent you from back tracking. When it comes to updating software, I always tell others to be sure and have a way back to where they started. I wish BMW had the same concept in mind when doing updates. If so, then I probably would try to get them to take me back to 19.01.01 if my car doesn't regain all of its lost snappiness in a reasonable period of time. But, regardless, it does sound like you have a problem other than software that is keeping the new software from loading.

I'm taking my car in to get upgrading to CIP 20 in the morning. I hope that every thing goes well.

Go with God...

BTW, the X3 kinda sucks. I've been stuck with one for 5 days. My wife's X5 is leaps and bounds better. It's making me rethink my 3 Convertable purchase (for my wife) after my lease.

Took mine in for service a couple of weeks ago and they loaded CIP 20..........in the process they discovered that my BT module was bad. At that time I didn't have a BT phone, so I hadn't tested it.

I picked up a RAZR V3 last weekend and everything worked perfect.

Good luck to you.........

Do you have any problems with call waiting? I'm getting the CIP update to correct some problems I'm having with my razor. One problem is that if I lose my signal the car doesnt allow me to terminate the call using the end call option. I have to turn the phone on and off. The other problem is that if I answer or dont answer call waiting the call that I am on will terminate.

I'm scheduled to get CIP 20 tomorrow. Now I'm nervous...I hope it goes ok.
