My 525 was upgrade to 13.2 (from original 11.x) over the weekend. So far I've noticed few things:
1. RDS can be switched "ON" or "OFF" manually.
2. When RDS is "ON" the names of songs are not displayed anymore.
3. AC settings (A/A or manually adjusted) have disappeared from iDrive display.
4. Cannot set options for BMW Assist.
5. Adaptive Xenons are more responsive.
As per my service adviser version 15 should be out before holidays.

I haven't noticed a change in the adaptive Xenon's myself - the active steering was affected!

[/quote]Before 13.2 update my audio system (FM Radio mode) used to display following: "Station Name" - "Performer/Band Name" - "Song Title". Now it only displays "Performer/Band Name".

[/quote]I'm sure. Actually I talked with my service adviser just an hour ago, and hi did confirm that 13.2 was installed. I'm going back to the dealer this Saturday for minor hood adjustment, so I asked him to prepare a list with futures and description that came with 13.2. As far as "3. AC settings (A/A or manually adjusted) have disappeared from iDrive display." he said that it's expected.
![Frown](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/sad.gif)
I also told him that I would want to see exact changes to the s/w before they install it next time. I think that BMW owners should have a right to customize their options, i.e. keep existing radio controls, but upgrade climate control. Just a thought.

Did you tried to stop and park the car for ten-fifteen minutes and then start again? Sometimes that solves problems like that!?

[/quote]The driver side latch would not lock, unless I slam the hood pretty hard. I think I had that problem since day one, just did not care that much. Now it irritates the crap out of me. I love the car, but little bit upset with number of problems I already had with it. Get this, I looked in the trunk last night and discovered that trunk mat (standard) is gone! I just picked up my car from the dealer this Monday, so someone was doing something in the trunk? Why? I only had it there for hood adjustment and s/w update.

Lucky you!
Usually even the driver profiles get deleted - so the tranny has to learn your driving style again.
