Easy how to tell if you have Combox
Quote:
Further confirmation will be that your Album Cover Art displays, and you can Voice Command a Title, Artist, Album, etc. If I remember correctly, this will work on all "Fifth Generation" and up I-Pods, etc. I have to read that july Bulletin again. |

My new F10 is now on it's way to the dealer. Can anyone advice if i have any right of rejecting the car without the 6VC Combox? will i lose the deposit? or is there a possibility of getting a hardware and software update of the idrive with the features that 6VC Combox includes in the near future?

If your F10 is on its way to the dealer, my guess would be pre week 37 build? In which case 6VC is very unlikely. Other members have done serious research on 6VC dates so i'm sure they will help. As far as the legal stuff is concerned, you can reject if anything is breach of written agreement. If 6VC includes new hardware, I would be very surprised if the dealer can do this easily and at relatively low cost, if at all. |

As far as a retrofit, the news bulletin for the system specifically stated that the new system will not be retrofit-table to pre September builds.

There is NO basis for saying that a pre-37 week build is "unlikely" to have the 6VC/ComBox. Everyone is concerned about it, but BMW memos suggest that all September builds will be fine. Nobody has had a dealer say in absolute terms that a pre-37 week won't have it. Nobody knows for sure. SDRX, what is you basis for saying that it is "unlikely"?

The fact that annoys me most is that i ordered my F10 on 18 May 2010
The salesman said its worth waiting for September delivery as the car would be worth more if registered from September 2010 , so i did. Now the car is due to be delivered this week which is 4 months wait. I wonder why didn't the salesmen notify me in advance for the September changes like 6VC Combox?! Is this letdown a good reason for me to complain to BMW? Im tempted to make a big fuss out of it. Thank you guys for all your advice. |

Hmm... Tough call. You ordered the car without these items so in BMW's eyes, you are getting what you ordered. In reality, the upgrade was announced back in July so you should have been able to push your build back to get the upgrade. Will your dealer not let you reject this car and order another? Sounds like F10 build slots are tough to come by so re-ordering could mean another extended wait.

Hey ExAudi and bdardashti, how are you confirming this? Anybody I get on the phone at BMWNA seems clueless and tells me to talk to my CA. My CA seems unable to give me any confirmation. Please tell me how you are confirming the combox is in your week 36 cars? My car went 153 "Assemblmbly Started" this morning...

If you do a search on these Forums, you should be able to locate a link to the infamous July 9th bulletin that describes the changes to the September production vehicles. In addition to this, there are some U-Tube videos of the Combox that explain this in more detail as well. (Do a search on BMW Combox and see what you get.) That being said, there might be some features you have in the U.K. that we do not get in the States, although am not sure. |

I`m sure Euro vehicles versus NA change slightly to meet demands and tastes. I think the most common thing we all have, is lack of information from BMW at time. Thanks for the update on the "combox".I`ll check it out. |

Call BMWNA and keep pushing for an answer. Chances are since ex audi guy and I both have the combox and our cars are done production, yours will have it as well. But for your peace of mind, call them and speak to reception. If they don't give you answer, ask for after sales customer service, or perhaps product planning. Good luck, and keep us posted.
