last time i checked the idrive has nothing to do with the steering column being out of line. or wood trim being ripped off the door.
hahahaha. if you would have read carefully(NELSON29) you would have seen i said that the audio shop messed up all my stuff. so why would the bmw dealership do it for free, or charge me less. it was 500 dollars to replace my whole ipod adapter and cables with install and labor then 300 for everything else that the audio shop screwed up. so it wasnt just idrive errors nelson.
READ BEFORE YOU REPLY!
, i went thru all of your hassles. i stripped my whole car when i started working on the system. if you do some research you will find out that as soon as you disconnect the negative terminal from the battery you will get a bunch of errors. the steering column is not part of idrive, but all of that is part of the car electronics system.the car is a runninf computer. i had all of those errors plus my windshield wiper was going crazy as soon as i connected he battery, it took an hour to reset itself. your dealer ripped you off. i took my car back and it took them 10 min to fix all the idrive errors. in matter of fact i took the car to the dealer at least 3 times to fix errors. regarding the wood trim and ipod adapter, i understand our frustration, the shouldve been a more careful. working with the wood trim is a PITA. i replaced mines with the m5 aluminum trim and manage to damage some of the trim. dont how they mess uo your ipod adapter

IMHO never get an audio upgrade.
No matter how good the audio shop seems. BC all they work on all day is domestics and hondas!!!!

Na i would not go that far. Just research the shop before you take your car to them there are shops that work more on highend cars.
