I have just had 13.3 installed and I am sure that the map info - Font - (town names and road type 'A',B') is a lot clearer. Also when the PDC comes on, the right small screen is now shown, I am sure it was not there before.

I agree. All in all a good improvement. More importantly, TMC now works on Buisness NAV

Hi Steve, but do you also have SW V 13.3. I heard that after a certain sw version released after sept 2004 it should work

One of the things that I noticed in 13.3 is that the Entertainment center comes on every time you crank. If you left it on the WB, AM, FM, or CD it comes back on in that configuration. While that is good, what I do not like is that the Entertainment center restarts every time you crank. IOW, if you leave it turned off, it will turn on when you crank. I would rather turn it on and off at my discretion. BTW, voice commands work on the US version of 13.3 with NAV PRO.

My Entertainment has always started within 30secs of crank. I took ED in July with some Version, then US delivery with 12x and now 13.2.

To me that is a helluva assumption on BMW's part that everyone wants to drive off to audible entertainment. FOREVER! :'(

Mine stays on the Main Menu, last entertainment source comes on , but is not shown on the menu. After reversing out of the drive , PDC comes on but then back to the Main Menu after about 10 seconds. Must be a Europe against US (as with a lot of things nowadays - just joking)

I have Pro nav , but the Voice still does not work. I do not know anybody with a 2004 car that voice works for. Most of them would need a new 'voice' button (combined with menu by the I-drive) anyway.
