On the strong recommendations of many on this forum, I booked my appointment to be at Kampong Arang... My appointment was 9am with Mr Koh Guan Lee... they made me wait until 1020 before I got to see him.... the Receptionists did not even bother to pacify me
... (and I didn't see any Chio ones contrary to wat Edlee described).
Koh told me that the CIP v21 should not be updated unless I got problems with the car, as it will INCREASE my fuel usage... cos of long time to stay in each gear... and that I can only upgrade my s/w 13 times in the entire life span of the car...
Regard the cigaretter lighter socket... I was SURPRISED when it was refused repair/replacement as I am into my 3rd year warranty (i.e. PML's and not BMW's). They claimed that all internal parts are excluded from this PML warranty...
He further enlightened me that in all BMW cars, the cigarette lighter socket is NOT meant for charging phones or GPS...
its meant for only for cigarette which incidentally for Singapore-bound cars, the lighter has been replaced with a dummy as our Government discourages smoking! :'( Therefore they are absolving themselves of an essentially poor design where once you pull out the device...the socket disengages itself..!
How is it possible for a BMW to NOT come with ability to charge gadgets???![Mad](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)

how can we expect to do an "address search" whereby malsingmaps has not incorporated any addresses in the maps?
please let me know what do most people in malsingmaps stated that cannot do "address search" for?orignally, no addresses is programmed in it in the first palce.
just confused.

Speed traps....what icons represent the speed traps?
you may put in a proximity warning say, 2km before the point.

lmk - With malsingmaps, when you select 'Search Address', the screen shows the button 'Select County', and when you click on the 'Select County' button, the message 'County not found' appears. Apparently some address structure settings are incorrect in malsingmaps. So the folks at malsingmaps meant that Nuvi will not even allow you to go beyond the 'Select County' function. Instead I search the building name (e.g. 'Chartered Semiconductor') or location name (e.g. 'Paris Ris Park' or 'The Cathay'). The updates to malsingmaps are amazingly frequent.
apparently, Garmin has "disabled" this function in all new firmware in all sets. someone in Garmin Taiwan mentioned this before as the maps there are free, i am trying to find the info.
Nevertheless, all is not gone. I think the mappers in malsingmaps are working out a work around to allow this.
Also, once i have the set, i will try to name the file for malsingmaps exactly the same as the garmin map, hopefully this will work.
it happens in Sonyericsson phones and Pocket pc, if the filename is different, it cannot read.

http://www.expansys.com.sg/product.asp?code=135402
it is the equivalent of Nuvi 360, but comes with europe/UK maps.

but we can try our luck first.
even if we order the USA map seperately, it is still worth the price.
