Got 16.2 today and the software update is worth getting. Mp3 does work and the navigation shortcuts are very useful. Before you had to go in vehicle setting s to mute the lady which took abit of time but now its one of the shortcuts.
p.s. Had a 120i as a courtesy car and was not very impressed with it. The engine was ok but the interior was really nasty.

You cant check what software version you have.
To get Tv, you need to retrofit the settop box which will cost you about ?550.
