I'm the same as F11black. I have the com box and am getting DAB info, but not got full postcode search or vehicle location / flashing lights.
One thing I noticed though, the station text is often longer than is displayed and the radio doesn't seem to scroll it. I'll often see a station description that stops mid sentence.

Did anyone who didn't have the DAB text working get it working?
Still no joy from our service department, just wondered if any one had a fix?
Thanks
Paul

Hello All. Just picked up my 5 series and been playing with the DAB function. I too am not getting any station text but have combox and full postcode search. Any update on this? Has anyone now got a fix? My car was a week 47 production - so pretty recent.

Hi mkchappo,
Oh dear that's not good that the issue is not fixed in a week 47 car.
Our service manager is on holiday till the 6th of Jan 2011, so we will be asking for an update once he is back.

Thanks Paul. I will also put in a call to the dealership (armed with this thread's info) and see what they have to say. Will keep posted.

Did you see this? See below

I wonder if 6NR can be retro fitted? I fear not!
Might be worth asking though.

Finally got some 'joy' from service dept today. I have been told that there is now a fix for the DAB info text problem but it requires a 'full recode' (sounds worrying!). The car is going in on Thursday - so will report back then.

let us know how you get on! given that BMW have introduced this ability to do your own software updates via USB its a shame that this fix could not be applied that way.

Well car has been in to have the DAB station text fixed today and still not working! They said they needed the car for the whole day but when I rang them a 5pm tonight they told me they had done nothing on the car as the new software required was not available on their system. The service manager is now looking into this and hopefully will update me tomorrow. For reference the PUMA ticket number for this issue is 34335928-01.

Hi All,
Dad was told the update was available however the garage won't be in a position to apply the update until their systems are updated in March?
Did anyone get a similar story?
Has any one managed to get this update applied yet?
Thanks

Dad's car has just been booked in for the end of the month.
Apparently the service department gets the required software update on their side tomorrow.
Will let you know how it looks once its upgraded
If you are waiting for this update maybe give your service department a call / email
thanks

Yep mine fixed now too! not driven it yet so not noticed any other software improvements such as reported steering fixes. One thing I have noticed is it says ConnectedDrive on the main menu - seem to think that is different somehow?

Got to see the car today

DAB works great, but spotted a new display with the surround view cameras
It now shows a little picture of the car and indicates where the cameras are. I guess to help put things into perspective.

No noticeable difference in the steering. (Just at low speed so far)
Apparently the service department said the latest update brought in 27 functional updates, trying to get details.

Can you ask your father if this software update has now introduced the Bluetooth call answering bug that other are talking about in one of the other recent posts on here. Essentially saying with latest software when first call comes in the steering wheel phone button cannot be used to accept the call you have to use idrive. Apparently after that subsequent calls can be accepted using button for rest of that journey.

hmmm so at the moment sounds like a trade off....either DAB Info working and bug with the first incoming call not being acceptable by the button or i wait for the next s/w update.....nice regression bug BMW....kick up the ass for the QA team i think!!!!

one question....can you accept the first call if you press the turn wheel selector in? when a call comes in, in the black panel display it will show "Accept" "Hang Up" as well. You then have three options to accept the call:

1. select via i-drive
2. select by pressing button marked as A (which is basically accepting via the black panel menu)
3. select by pressing button marked as B

so is it only option 3 that doesn't work? have you tried option 2?
