On Wednesday I adjusted the Centre Vent from the iDrive.

After that the parking lights would not go off after taking the key out and open the door.

(In my car I have the light lever on "lights on" permanetly, because here in the Nordic countiers we have to have the lights on at all times. But the lights should go out when taking the key off and open the door.)

I called my dealer Thrusday and the service guy asked my if I did adjust something with the iDrive,
I said yes, and he instantly said that it is a software problem.

Well, I did do some adjusting also after delivery but no problems occured!?

So now on Monday im getting the 19.3 update or just a refreshing of the software?

The car has now gone 5.600 km!

I will be especially interested to hear what you have to say if you get 19.03. Good luck whatever though.

Possibly this version could be called 19.03 by some dealers - CIP 19.02.03 (Target data Status E060-05-09-535). As far as I can tell this is the very latest.

Right, what you say makes total sense given how dealers refer to the CIP's.

I'll report early next week.

I'd copied this info, let's what my retailer calls it...

I'm anyway looking foreward to some test driving as well.

I heard it might take up to 3 hours to get the software changed.

Fresh in from the dealer...

I got the 19.2 version, and my car is working perfect now!

As a new feature I got in the "Vechicle settings - Lights" part "Daytime running lights" which I did not have before.

I talked to the service guy for a while and he told me that whey didn't have the latest up date (19.2.3) do to some firewall problems.
He told me also that the factory has also newly changed their computer system to a better one.

Version 20 should be availble this month and the new versions can be fetched over the http, by the authorized dealer, of course.

What improvements version 20 will do, he did not know.
