My car was in the shop today for some work - most of which was solved by upgrading to v19 software (hesitancy from standstill , false RFT warnings, adaptive lights warnings).

One thing that I notice right away is the the UI for Business Nav has been tweeked - sorry if this has been mentioned before but I dont remember seeing it.

The layout has changed slightly, and there are now a row of four icon "buttons" at the top for controlling access to TMC, Nav Sound on/off, Nav on/off. Only a minor change but it helps with the myraid of twists-and-turns required to go from Nav to TMC and back. I thought I'd share.

Don't believe anyone has mentioned this before, could you say which Dealer you used and how long they had your car?

I've got the layout of the business nav you're talking about since my car has been upgraded from CIP 16 to CIP 17 last May. I agree that these new buttons are quite useful ! As I lost the "eyebrows" light with CIP 17, my car is booked for upgrade to CIP 19 in two weeks.

I jumped from v16.2 to 19 - so I missed this change in 17. I can confirm that my eyebrows are working in v19.

Yes I noticed the improvements in Nav screen, the best feature is being able to jump straight to the TMC screen

Daylight running lights is a feature I do not recall having with v16 but maybe I just did not notice. Not sure what is does though??

Did you get mp3 playback working ok?

I can assure you MP3 works both with CD and DVD (since CIP 17 with business nav)

Hi Fantomas,

I also have version 19, but I have yet only been playing MP3's from CD.
Do you know if there are any limitations how many MP3 tracks you can store to DVD?

I think I read somewhere that the bmw MP3 player recognised something like 250 tracks, but not more, is this right? I have had 160 tracks on CD, and it has worked perfectly.

Mikko
