Hey Guys,

May sound like a SWAQ, but is there a way I can remove the warning sign when my i-drive boots up? Also, I have 2 voices now: a male answers all the commands, and a female does all my navigations.

Next question, is there a way to make the little side monitor disappear and create one large NAV screen? Tried the manual, and searched the site, still willing to ask a SWAQ.

Three days and 200 miles. Even though I only have a 525 (enough for me) this car runs so smooth and sweet. Put in the red reflector and debadged her today (made a tiny scratch). One thing I noticed immediately, I will be purchasing sport springs soon. I almost purchased a X-Type a year ago, but the body roll changed my mind. I feel it a little in the E60. I am thinking Eibach. I had them on my Mercedes, and they have a nice ride.

I am very pleased. Pics still to come (We just moved and can't find the USB cable).

DONKA SHON ALL

P.S. Dealer called to check on me, and I told him about my kid throwing up. I GOT FREE FLOOR MATS REPLACEMENTS! (They just want my service)

Nobody has found a way to disable the warning message yet. It's on US spec cars only. The two voices are US spec too. In Germany I have the same female voice for everything.

Nope. Always a split screen.

I too would love to defeat this warning icon, so what i do is upon entering the car i touch on the radio button before i start the car thus when the car is started no warning icon just the radio screen not a complete fix but i do not have to clear with the idrive knob.

Yes Seems like all us model has two voices. voice command is with male and nav is for female.
Way I am looking at screen, it has two different windows even though, it looks one. I tried all different things to have small screen disappear, but no luck. I can see there is two screen and it's separate.

The warning screen is on every car in US desprite the make of the car. My manager's 2005 Acura TL has the similar warning screen too.

When accident happens, lawyer can make you at fault if they found out you remove the warning in case of accident.
