Thank you. =). Any tips for navi sys ? Doesnt bmw have something like lexus or honda where u just need to input the name of the building and they will do a search and try to match it ? What i get now is something like input street and city...i was wondering what if the driver doesnt know the exact address but knows the building or complex name...how can he or she go about navigating ?

Welcome, microstar. Sapphire's a great color. Now is the time to apply RejeX while it is still new and free from blemishes.

Don't think you can enter a building in NAV unless the building has some significance within the city.

Thanks =)....oh btw wads RejeX ? I did have this clear armor thing waiting to be installed soon...protective films that protects against rock chips...

Overall i kind of like my car...except for the fact that the dealer drilled two holes in my front bumper ! :thumbsdown: The car just seems to go into life when the engine ignites...love that sound...comfort seats are awesome...even comfort access seems to be one of the best among its competitiors...but i drive...bleah....dun really like it...coupled with that navi...

So basically...lets say i am in california...and hmm trying to go to the nearest CPK in the vicinity yet i do not know where's the exact address...what should i do ?

Restaurants with phone numbers are in "Information". You can navigate to them but dunno whether CPK is included.

Do have a sony T30...juz that these days rather busy and with me running the car over so many highways and streets...its getting dirty...i wouldnt want to present u ppl with a dirty car, would i ?
I'll try nevertheless....and get it posted asap...

Oh btw...my 550i always switches on the aircon by itself whenever i ignite the engine...is this normal ? Can i program it not to ? Since i've heard it's not advisable to have the ac switched on immediately after the engine starts up...u know...kinda like its not yet warmed up...Any comments or help with be gladly appreciated

The right side mirror will tilt down in reverse so long as your inside mirror control switch is set to adjust the driver's (left) side mirror.
