Just tell them the i-drive sometimes locks up and unresponsive... Since it happens randomly, you can't reproduce it. Also tell them that you know a new software update has been released and that you'd like for them to update your "crashing" i-drive to the newer version.

You can also do a search on TSBs and issues discussed here and make something up.

Any idea on what verison I might have it it was never updated ? Also I keep hearing how the update helps with the Nav. but what other items are improved? Example people are saying that my calles using bluetooth are kind of echoish, did I read somewhere that the bluetooth was 1 improvement?
