v12 is on. CD pauses! (Yes!)

Other changes:
i-drive feels "snappier", PDC may be coming on quicker but I need further testing time to report.
Dealer is going to provide me with the v12 TIS bugfix sheet for the full list of fixes.
I also got the car/key memory settings from the dealer.

What's good: The process doesn't waste your seat memory
What's bad: You have to reprogram all your other i-drive prefs., including radio stations and Address Book.



low/med/high auto a/c programs have now been moved out of Settings and into Climate. This is much more sensible and allows you to access this RAPIDLY





You now have a "home address" icon in the Address Book





Steering wheel buttons fully programable again!

 

My car must have some with Version 12 because all the new features you guys are talking about I already have. I have not updated the software since I picked it up at delivery.

 

i wil pick up mone on thursday. will that have V12 or will i have to tell the dealer that i want it?

 

I'm fairly certain yours will have it. If you look at kigerka's colection date - end of May, if he had it so should your car.

 

Mine was built beginning of May (picked it up May 25th) - German spec.
I don't have the two programmable steering wheel buttons (just one) and don't have the icon for HOME in my address book.

 

I forgot to mention that the CD player now laso pauses between spoken Nav instructions too. Previously it would just lower the volume.

 

Now that's some real good news! (I sometimes forget to adjust the nav instructions volume when driving higher speeds )

 

Okay, it does everthing but that. My car just lowers the volume which is fine with me.
