kdagher, nice to know some more people from the middle east.im gonna be in jeddah for 2 month to do some training. Lets see if it is better than Dammam and Riyadh. So far Damman is the best (closer to Bahrein lol).

back to the topic. You cannot know what progman or CIP you have. Only the dealer can do that. If you want to make sure what progman you have, just ask the dealer to print it out. GL

Btw, im having my CIP upgraded, HOPEFULLY, once i get my car to saudi. fingers crossed.

1) There is no new software upgradeable iDrive interface.
2) Updating the iDrive software in your car will not change the build date.
3) The latest version of the software is 30.02 which I had installed a few days ago. The software version in the car is only readable by the dealer (You can't check the software version yourself)
I just had an ipod kit connected to my 2005, I was told that it would require an update and that they always load the latest version. I notice it has been updated from about v18 to v25 which is not the latest, according to this.

I have not mentioned it to them but, my personal belief, is that they do update it to the latest version, but that version differs and relates to the age and model of the car. Next time I speak to them I will try and clarify.

The build date is what it is.
