I had requested that the tech remove the phone cradle to make the storage bin larger, but he said that wires would protrude from the parts remaining.? They could not duplicate the acceleration lag or the cd reseting to track 1.? This work took 3 days.?? Toyota Camry loaner.??
Thanks to this forum, it seems that I know more about the car than the service advisor!

[/quote]I wonder if the vibration was fixed in 13.3? It would be really nice to see a "fixed list"... Anyone? Anyone?

Thanks for the info folks. I guess I'll have to take it in for the update and leave it with the dealer for however long it takes. I still can't understand why software upgrades take so long. By the way, my E60 is a 530i.

I just dropped off my car for this recall and was told at least two days. The service guys said there were actually two software recalls/update showing up on his screen for my car. I asked if both were for the emissions recall and he said yes. Who knows, frankly I'm sure I believe him on that one. Anyway I asked if it meant a complete upgrade to a new version and was told yes, that I'll lose all my radio presets, etc. Not a problem since I never had done any presets, always listen to CD's. I'm keeping my fingers crossed about this software upgrade as I really had no problems before and I even had RDS using ver 11.x that came w/ my Jan 04 build. If it ain't broke, don't fix it... I'll find out what version I get this go around.

Does the emissions software recall include the new software needed for Bluetooth on the early 04 E60s?
