My Ride: Current: 2000 Oriental Blue 528i, Steptronic, Beige Leather Interior Premium Package, Cold Weather Package, CD Changer
Awaiting Delivery: 2005 530i, Titanium Gray with Black Leather, Steptronic, Premium Package, Cold Weather Package, NAV, Xenon, SAT Radio, Aux Input, Euro Reflectors
HELP - I am picking up my new 530i today or tomorrow. The delaer is saying that since my car has NAV that the RDS fucntion of the radio will not work (I do NOT have Logic 7). They are saying the RDS function will not be fixed until software release 18 or 19!!!!!!!!!
Are they nutz? Has anyone experienced RDS not working with NAV? Am I screwed with no RDS since I have NAV?
THANKS!

I picked up my 2005 530 on Friday last week with NAV, Premium, and Sound packages, and alas, the RDS doesn't work, weather band, NOR bluetooth. The dealer is lost on how to fix these things it seems... it's back at the shop now and they're 'searching' for an answer... any tips on the BT and/or software version issues?
How can I tell which version software is on the car... .geez.. ..starting to feel like I'm driving a router or something.

What is so difficult about getting RDS to work with Nav, anyway?
Every cheapo radio in Europe has RDS. That is ancient technology.

Is RDS different between US and Europe ? I am using RDS and NAV without any problem (built 1/2005 - V16.0).
Just a small bug with TMC (traffic information system) but I think you don't use this in the US.
