Except for it seems that they broke this feature in 16.2 based on what urbo is saying, doesn't it? (I'm confused as hell now...)

Anyone?

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.

I'm not sure what CIP version I have right now, but I am pretty sure that whatever condition my climate control is set to when I turn the ignition off, is where it returns to when I get back in......

On thing to throw into the equation. Did the dealer load the WHOLE car with 16.2 or just certain components? I though someone mentioned before that they should load the WHOLE car for everything to function better with each other.

Could this "auto on start" thing be programmable by the dealer? I think I remember that was the case on my E46: the car was always turning aircon on at startup. I think it was because BMW engineers were worried of some condensation thing...

My E46 was a convertible, in which case it is even worse because there is no "top open" sensor so if the car's open when you start it, it immediately tries to cool down the planet (and fails )

Did you have to pay Herb Chambers to get 16.2 installed? It's my understanding that dealers 'arent supposed to' just update on customer request -- it either has to be related to a customer complaint about faulty vehicle operation, or for a fee.

What's a good complaint to use? I took delivery of my 545i earlier this week (from Wagner) and it doesnt do the perspective NAV view so it must not be 16.2

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?

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.

Tell them that the radio comes on every time you start the car, even if you turned it off (put it on mute) prior to shutting down. Tell them it drives you nuts. You could tell them you had it tuned to Sirius Raw Dog and shut it off before parking it and the next day, you returned to your car with your kid to go somewhere and all of a sudden four letter words were coming out of the speakers!

That's a good one to use. But I just asked for nada and they did it.

It's all there - I'm confused by the WHOLE car. When they program it, all modules get upgraded if therere are newer versions on that SW release. I'm not sure about partial ugrades! Who would want that?

Now *I'm* confused. Rudy, your theory had to do with restarting it a couple of times after sleep mode to see if it decided that you really wanted the change to be permanent. So I was confused about your theory - it seems the opposite from this.

So it works like this:

Setting is kept in memory until car goes to sleep and after the car has gone to sleep it comes on in AUTO - regardless of what you had before. I guess it's a feature, but to me it's a bug in that if I want it OFF it should stay OFF.
