Thanks much Janos. And, welcome. Your suggestion was tried, but didn't work.

Mine did the same thing with the CD player. Other than that, I haven't really noticed anything. My throttle seems a little bit stiffer though, but that could just be because I went from renting a Nissan Sentra to driving a BMW 5 series.
There is one other thing I haven't mentioned. When I brake torque in DS with DSC/DTS off, I can easily push the pedal to the floor with the RPM increase being completely muted. I couldn't do that before. I can still brake torque using the hand-brake trick. But, still no wheel spin. I will continue to try things--letting my car learn assuming that it has something to learn. When I go out, I'll try MP3. And, oh yeah, there is one truly odd thing. It now takes one more step to get to the CD-tracks view--where one can move to another track. I can't remember what the sequence is, but check it out. And, I haven't noticed if the lawyer screen goes away on its own. I don't think it will in my car regardless.

BT is fine, but the CD player moved forward two songs overnight. BWM/Seimens-VDO software. I haven't checked to see if MP3 still works.
It's really funny when you start reading the problems that get fixed with CIP updates.

Some problems are fixed in consecutive CIP's.

The CD player that comtinues playing is fixed for a couple times in a row now, and it got worse, because it's not the in-dash player alone anymore, it's both in-dash drives and the changer too.
Now with 23.x this should be fixed... SHOULD... AGAIN...

Another 20 CIP updates will somewhen somhow hopefully fix it.

What the hell? Cannot believe that this cannot be fixed. :thumbsdown:
I don't think your CD player moved fwd by 2 songs, but I think it fwd by a few set of song on your CD already

Thanks for provide us update, Znod. Really appreciate it.

Lawyer screen goes away in about 5 sec. MP3 is good. I forgot how good my secret-formula CD's sound. Got a little wheel spin with pretty much parking-brake technique, brake torquing. That could have happened before though. Car seems to perform about the same, but that is so subjective that I'll have to wait until I used my meter to draw a real conclusion. Overall my "upgrade" probably is a break even. Lawyer screen goes away, but extra step is needed for CD player as noted above.

What you mention is funny. But, Seimens-VDO is seriously software challenged.

You are very welcome. I suppose my changer could have moved through 6 disks and ended up coincidentally about two songs farther than I left it. If fact, it may have made 100's of "revolutions" knowing S-VDO.

Apologies for hijacking the thread, but I have an issue when towing my caravan (stop laughing.....), because it has a third brake light which is LED, I get a 'check trailor lights' warning on the i-drive each time I brake.

Dealership told me BMW were aware of the issue, and a software fix would be out sometime in September.
Not heard anything from them, guess I need too chase it up with them.

Just wondering if anybody else has had the same problem/fixed, or if anyone has any inside info about what issues are addressed in the next Progman after v23?
your ride is cool mate, please post a pic w caravan, I have never seen any with E60

I would put on the same wheels like on the car can you put 19"s

Hi,

Reset your CCC, and no problem with the cd after key off. ( Press the two eject button and the volume button simoultan on the CCC unit. CCC will reboot )

Janos from Hungary
Szia J?nos, update your profile and sig please and welcome Attila szint?n magyar, mint Zombi ?s Krisz 535d

BTW be careful with upgrades and dealers they tend to say you need a SW update, they also said me when window trap was there, and then I asked them to skip SW and they fixed the problem w/o that.
