Love this car but looking to switch things up to keep things fresh. 2nd AMG in a row, but toying with coming back into the BMW fold!
Has anyone else had this problem. When I brought my car in for a 15K service and they updated the software to V19 and then V19.1, my radio starting going mute for 10 Seconds randomly every 5 - 10 Minutes. 
It has been back to the garage several times and it has not been solved.
If you also have had this problem, tell me about your experience and if you have been able to solve it.
Thanks

Interesting, I had this problem develop with v16.x software after many moths of satisfactory operation and solved when v19.x was installed a couple of weeks ago to allow mp3 playback!
Just may be a case of recoding with v19.1 again?

Is there a information site from BMW or forum explaining what's the fix for each software version??
It seems like BMW have new version every other week, and use us to test their software. BMW become Microsoft

This is a known problem and there is a TSB out for this
Its apparenly a glitch with them reactivating RDS.
Temporary fix is to have RDS switched off untill they fix it in the next software update

Just got 19.1 today, and now the LED lights are working again.. But the bluetooth dosen't work now ! :thumbsdown:
So now BMW wants to change my bluetooth box in the car, because I always have problems with the bluetooth after a software upgrade!

I had this problem right after getting 19.01 (which is what I assume you mean by 19.1 as 19.01 is the latest in BMW's TIS - anyway...). I left the car sitting unstarted for a few days and since then I don't think I've had a single recurrence. I have however had two times when my warning chime (fasten seatbelts, speed limit exceeded, key in ignition, etc.) has stopped working, as if it was muted. A bit of a wait and a restart fixed it. Yesterday my iDrive would not shut off even when I stopped the car and removed the key, so I rebooted it and it's been okay since. I only got an software update because I was in to get my Active Steering/Active Roll hydraulic system cooler replaced, otherwise I don't think I would have bothers as I only had nit pick complaints that were software related. One other thing, I had a Bluetooth phonebook sync anomaly this morning (updated the phone's phonebook last night) but it recovered on the next ignition cycle.
Ah, the joys of robust, rigorously test software. Not.

I had the update on my 06 for sveral issues (high bat drain, window malfunction, SOS malfunction, etc.)3 weeks ago. I still get high batt drain every morning, and now the volume on the radio goes in and out. I first thought I was losing signal until it did it when I had a CD in.
One positive note. Since the update, my Lawyer's screen shuts off automatically after 5 seconds. Yeah!!
