I had my car updated to the latest E60 software from CIP 16.2 (E060-05-03-520) the other day and I think the NAV upgrades are really great - the shortcuts, the way it now works, etc. It all makes it easier now to operate.

And finally they fixed the bug where the radio on/off wasn't rememberd when starting the car as we all know. That was just a huge pet peeve of mine.

Anyway, one thing I've noticed is that now, if I have the climate control turned to OFF, when I re-start the car it's back on auto!? Is this a new bug? Or was it always this way and I just don't remember?

Anyone?

Also I don't get CD TEXT for some reason. And I saw that others with NAV do get it. And I've tried a bunch of different CDs. What's up with this? And BTW, this is using the single CD slot - not the changer or DVD drive. But should CD TEXT work in all? I thought at least in the CD slot.

I think it's always been this way. I'm running v15.2 and if I've turned off the climate control it defaults back to auto when I restart the car.

Hi Urbo73,
Which dealer in the Boston area has 16.2?
I just checked with mine (BMW Peabody) and they say that they are on 15.1.
Thanks in advance!

Herb Chambers BMW on Commonwealth Ave. They always get the latest first it seems and the mechanics know their stuff. Even on my invoice they print the E060-05-03-520 as the SW from CIP 16.2 - they know the deal.

Not in my experience... When I had a very old version it used to do the default but my current version always remembers the settings...

It's there and it works. Must be something wrong with your CD, probably no text on it...

urbo, I haven't tested it yet on my car but as far as the climate settings, the E39 used to flip back to the last settings once or twice before making the change permanent.

For example, if you had your left and right temperatures both set to 70 degrees (unlike the E60, on the E39 the temps were digitally adjusted) and turned off the car, when you turned it back on, they stayed at 70. If you changed the driver's side to 68 and turned the car off, it would go back to 70 upon restart. If you changed it back to 68 again, the next time you started the car, it would be at 68.

I think the engineers felt that a one-time adjustment was most likely temporary and so they programmed the system to reset back to what they felt was the "usual" or "normal" setting. If the system saw that you kept resetting it back to the "new" settings, it would decide that there was a new "normal" and would use those settings from now on.

Maybe your car is returning to Auto because of the same logic? Try turning the climate control off then turning the car off and back on (but possibly waiting the 16 minutes or so for the car to go to sleep) and repeating that process a couple times (two or three). If it still returns to Auto mode, then my theory is incorrect...

Its the CDs. Very few CDs actually have the text. if you burn one (not a straight copy). And get the song titles online and then recompile the CD, you will see the text in the CD player only.
