I recently purchased a 07 550i. Sometimes when I turn the car on, it will gong 2 times normally. Other times when I turn on the car either there is no gong sound (and screen is solid black) or there are a bunch of gongs, too many, and kinda a flickering/glitching on the screen.

So is it a safe bet my M-ASK unit is about to go out?

I would love to do the CIC retrofit sooner or later, but for now, I may just source another M-ASK unit and swap it in..

Also, does anyone know what the new computer is called? The one in the new 2-seies and 4-series? Is it still called a CIC? I noticed the maps and user interface is so much smoother on those

Thanks

How old is your battery? E60s are power hogs.

Here's the wiki for iDrive. I agree the new version (what ever you want to call it) is pretty awesome.

The newest one is called NBT, and it can be retrofitted into e60s, but with some features missing, like navigation on HUD.
