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

My service advisor said she'd get me the software version once the update is complete. One thing I am amazed at is how some dealers are getting 14.x while some are still claiming that 13.x is the latest they have. And haven't really followed, but hasn't someone claimed to have v. 15? How can these dealers be so out of sync?
As an aside, when I spoke to my SA this afternoon (about having the phone cradle removed) she said it would be at least 2 days. When I asked her to get me the exact version number because of how some people have had problems w/ software upgrades, she sounded surprised and said she'd never heard of that... Makes wonder how uninformed (or full of &*it) she is.

Bump. Day 3 has come and gone with no car! Dealership is having trouble getting the update to "take". JDN, does this sound familiar to you? They swear it will be ready tomorrow, I don't believe them...

[/quote]Dropped it off at 10 AM, called me at 2 PM and said it was done. Upgraded to 13.3. He said no problems. He did tell me beforehand that if something went wrong, they would have to keep it overnight. Guess I lucked out. He also mentioned that the problems with upgrading had to do with upgrading from a certain version to another version and that it sometimes required to an interim version... don't think he actually knew the details but probably heard it from a tech or something.
Fixed emissions recall and programmed bluetooth. Took me 5 minutes to pair my Motorola Razr. Works great.
Great service and had a 330ix as a loaner.
Good luck and cheers!
