On the point. I have read that software updates for some things are driver install using the usb port. Does anyone know if this methodology is applied to this kind of change,if it is dealer only, or even and perhaps more interestingly comes over the air via the gsm built inito these cars.
Unfortunately, the new system won't be fitted to cars until 9/2011 production. Again, it's a hardware change & not merely a software change, & judging by the speed of recent introduction of new retrofit kits by BMW, I cannot see them offer this as a retrofit anytime soon.
