Only new option that come with V.12 is the ability to change the Diamond botton on the steering wheel. It has been said that there is something changed in the Vent screen. Have not seen it yet. But, since I can mute the radio I did not want to see anything else.

Did you see any changes with your AM reception? I have the same options and I thought that V 12.0 is supposed to fix the poor reception that you get with the setup.

tdocz, I'm having the update done tomorrow.
My AM has been pretty good really, certainly a lot cleaner than I ever had in my Merc, but I will post if there are any further improvements.

I just got my car back last night with V12. The climate control area has slightly changed. The screen for the buttons on the steering wheel has changed so you can pick between 6 or seven options for either button.
On the radio, which is why I took mine in (radio cut out or didn't work, new controller on the way) the All Sations doesn't show all the stations anymore. It only shows me one station.
If I get a chance at lunch I will try to go out and write down all the functiosns.

Teq, If a scan doesn't show any stations - ensure your dealer connected the 2nd tuner correctly to the FM antenna wiring. Poor RDS or missing all radio info is either a bad signal to the 2nd tuner *OR* a defective radio. Your dealer should be working with their BMW NA tech on escalation if they can't resolve this. Let us know progress on getting this fixed.
