I just had the software update to 12.whatever it is. The only fault I can find so far is that the right part of the screen is always on the trip computer after the ignition has been off.
The changes I have noticed so far are:
- I can now set fuel consumption to miles per US gallon, as well as UK
- The AC settings are in the Climate menu
- The cd player disc number issues are fixed


I read about an aircon icon disappearing, but haven't noticed it. What are we talking about? Is it that thing in the bottom left of the screen? I still have that..

It's one that I like, though. I see it as verification that the front passenger, usually my wife, has the intended protection.

I suppose it could be done on purpose, so that our wives like our cars as much as we do; honey you are too light for the car to recognise you...

And you know why there are still software bugs, even in new software releases ?
They learned about computer technology by the following picture and since they've looked at that picture they simply use the wrong tool for de-bugging...
