does not works on mine either.
Can somebody post a name of a factory CD that works in the US?

 

Yes it is. But for some reason I lost the CD text functionality when I lost RDS. I cannot be sure whether it was a software upgrade or some special US based coding they did at VPC. All I know is that I had it in Europe in July.

 

Switchmouth or Switchback. Can't remember. New album with song with a lot of airplay. It was a friends. In the US- the first text I had seen but also the first real CD that I put in the player...

 

I drove a 520 loaner and it had bus nav and no L7.
A CD I use on my car, what shows text on idrive, was not showing text on the loaner.
I guess cars without nav, or with bus nav, can't display text!

 

OK, my car has NAV (US built) production 7 May, and shows text on one of my kids' CD. The CD is called 'NOW 11'. It's one of those CD's that has a group of songs that are compiled from latest hits.

I don't get any RDS, and I never had an upgrade. I could post a pic if anyone pushes me to do it.....

But this is the only disc so far that shows titles. Other factory ones don't...

 

i never had it in my car ..... but would surely like it.

i'm sheduled for monday to receive i guess v.14 ....

ok. just got off the phone with my dealer, and they have NOT received the update et .. so monday is a NO GO.

 

In my it is just like CD-01-01 Not the names of the songs

 

My 1 month old, 2005 model 520 UK build, has CD text only in the single-slot. Nothing in the multi-deck. Used Michael jackson special edition thriller cd to test.

Not such a big deal to me though, you just get song title in bottom left, the funny rotary/wheel track number things still shows.

I have no idea what s/w I have. If I turn off car when and mute is on, it is forgotten when engine re-started and stereo is audible again.

I'm still annoyed i have a voice control button on steering wheel that does nothing - not even a beep!

cheers.

 

sorry duplicate of above
