This is great news! My eyebrow and side indicator lights have been out since November.
With this in mind, will loading v25 automatically fix this light issue or is there a manual fix in addition to the software?
For example, I have yet ot have MP3 enabled and know this is an option that must be chosen from a list during the reprogram. Is there something similar for the lights?
Thanks!!!

For what it's worth, the Progman 25 is SIB #61 14 03. Looking through the text of it, it addresses engine pinging and cold weather idle complaints, and then a bunch of CCC-related issues, including the CD run-on issue. There seem to be a bunch of other things handled, so perhaps the lights are in the mix somewhere.
I thought this is an old SIB number

R U sure it is SIB 61 14 03

I thought this is an old SIB number
"SI B 61 14 03
General Electrical Systems March 2007
Technical Service
This Service Information bulletin supersedes S.I. B61 14 03 date December 2006."
Then toward the bottom it says:
"Update the complete vehicle per SI B09 05 01 (Coding, Individualization, Programming) Procedure B, using Progman 25.00.00 (Target Data Status E060-07-03-510) or higher."
Not being a student of SIBs, I don't know why they'd re-use the same number, unless it's because it addresses the same issues.

Picked her up at noon, dealer loaded program 25, per SIB 64-04-05. Don't see any differences in IDrive functions, don't have nav., hope it fixes A/C fan problem.

The tell-tale sign of the Progman 25 treatment is that the IDrive Home Menu has improved graphics.

ABC - three technical SIB questions: 1) If the SIB says that the entire system should be re-programed, as it appears to do in SIB 61 14 03, then does the dealer have any discretion, that is, does the entire thing have to go into the car? 2) Once Progman 25 is in the system (presumably downloaded from some central BMW server), is an earlier version no longer available? and finally 3) May the dealer tell the owner what the Target data Status number is, presuming this will disclose what's in the car?
