My Ride: 2006 520d - 19" 172s- Remapped - LCI taillights V6 cables - LCI xenon headlights - Denison 500 with BTA1500 - led interior lights - OEM led number plate lights
Planned mods:

Does anyone know if this update will wipe off my remap?
It's something I am anxious to do a my warranty has just finished but I have taken the BMW insured warranty.

Are your cars still under warranty? I had my MY2005 E61 MP3 enabled / programmed as a warranty claim because the vehicle is specified in the handbook as MP3 enabled from the factory. They will only do the work if you complain that the centre dash CD player won't play MP3 CD's, but you musn't mention you want to activate an I-pod or Dension. As part of the BMW download you automatically get the I-pod programming at the same time. There is PDF available on this forum (I may well have a copy on my home computer which I can upload if needed) which is the official BMW work instruction. Follow this link for more info: https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=59271
EDIT:
I've just gone to the US Dension website and selected my car and it shows the compatability chart below...... does this mean I won't get any text? I'm confused....... it'll make it pretty hard to operate the ipod without text?!?

I just rang my local garage saying that I wanted the MP3 feature activated, they said that it isn't possible to play MP3's on the single CD drive on a car that old. I said that I wanted it activated for the fibre bus and he said it can be done on that and to fit the ipod kit and software would be ?350, and then I said about getting just the software done so then my options are open for cd changer with MP3 discs, BMW ipod attachment or third party attachments and he said it would be an hour to two hours work ?115-?230 plus vat. How does that sound?

Jay 2b honest i dont know about that as i have the CCC and not the M-ASK unit so im sure someone else can help you with that question
1. M-ASK Business Radio (no mp3 --> no text)
2. M-ASK Professional Radio (mp3 + text capable)
3. M-ASK Business Navigation --> M-ASK Professional Radio (mp3 + text capable)
4. CCC Professional Navigation (mp3 + text capable + much more...)
I'm not sure how to tell, if I have business or professional radio? No doubt knowing the way things are going for me it'll be business radio! There really isn't any point in buying the Dension if it wont display any text at all?!? The BMW ipod kit will do about the same and I can get that fitted by BMW and the MP3 updates for ?350.
I'm not happy... boohooDon't suppose anyone has a Dension they wanna let me try?
