i am as confuse too!! I have aux in. just like Meng's and it operate exactly the same.i.e I can select from i-drive FM-AM-CD-CDC-AUX.

Though I play mp3 from my Sony Ericsson, I tried before playing from a friend's ipod and no problem.

Leslie, you mean you cannot play songs from CDC after installing Aux input???

Wah leow, I think I got snookered again by PML! Although I can "see" the CD selection, it is greyed out; so cannot be selected! Btw, I dun even know what CDC is as it does not appear on iDrive screen. Need to have a word with them!

COMPLACENCY - That is why I am trying very very hard to convince Jr that the 330/335 is not the ride to buy. I am actually hoping that Merc launch their new C soon. I've found a buyer for my E46 and it'll be gone in a couple of weeks. I really like the look of the new 3 series Coupe, the handling and power on tap of the BMW, but I just cannot take their attitude.

The latest culprit is Torsten from BMW Asia. I have been having irratic idle from my M6. Took pictures of the high idles and tested the car with Torsten and (OH NO!!!) Chin. They saw and felt the problem. Torsten wrote to M Div in Germany who responded that it is normal and that the temp of the cat converter is low and that is why the car idles high; to heat it up, I suppose. Normal for a road going car to idle at 950 rpm on a hot Singapore day? I experimented for myself and wrote back to him rebutting his explanation. He responded with this; "I have no reasons to doubt my colleagues in Germany". What did he mean by that? I wrote back to ask him whether that meant the end of the story. He responded that it wasn't and that he was still figuring it out. I asked them to test out an M5 and he again responded negatively saying that they did not have an M5 to test out. Hmmm..... Half a million down the drain? I have written to forumers in this board and in the M5.com board asking about this problem. I targetted cold countries. NONE of them experienced this before; NONE!!! I tried attaching the e-mail exchanges for all to see but couldn't. Maybe someone can teach me how.

I think they're monitoring just to see how many bad comments we make and who does what to his ride; especially the DMS.
I've had the ver 21 updated in my car. I find the trans tends to hang on to the low gears for far too long thus causing me to somehow drag the car.

i am a fan of MP3 players. i owned all generations of iPod...still the best MP3 player around.
Most Creative Muvos'...so so but sounded better than iPod IMO...(i got them at very good prices, my wife used to work there) most of them break down after a few months.

ver21, i experienced the same, the long low gears cure the hesitation but higher consumption. something like 8km/L for my 520i. but not much.

Lai,

I just visited the Communic Asia2006 in S'pore Expo to see one of my supplier who was exhibiting. If time permit, you guys really have to go and have a look and I am sure you find it very interesting.

There've got virtually everything. I am not an IT person but what you guys have been discussing like what DVB, HDTV, MP3, mobile TV, video, GPS, handphone etc..are all there!! BTW, the new Sony 950i really make me drool (walkman, 4GB memory, beautiful touch screen, handwriting recognition etc.....).

Even Garmin was there. I spoke to the manager from Navicom who is the agent in Singapore for Garmin. Guess what, he said I can use the existing Garmin map from my C320 for the Nuvi. So we can test this out this Sat. Maybe if you guys are planning to get the official Garmin maps, I can contact him and ask if he can give special price for Group buy?

True, the garmin map can be used in Nuvi, but it is locked to a set specified. i failed to open the garmin although i have the 25 digits unlock code. In general, Garmin maps can be used in all garmin sets.

A group buy will be an excellent idea but the V2 map contain only Singapore and JB, i think we would like to have the whole of malaysia too.
