Default

My drivers seat button seems to have twisted round somehow, and is shorting the seat, so I'm taking it in to get fixed.

Anything I should ask for while there? maybe a idrive upgrade, or something else,

If anyone can help that would be grand, i have 5 months of warranty left.

thanks

If it ain't broke, don't fix it? They probably won't do it without a specific problem that's fixed via such an update anyway...

Thats what my dealer said to me when I asked for an update when my car first went in for warranty work. His words were if it isnt broke we wont touch it as it can cause alot more problems if the update doesnt work first time.

MP3 capability?
