Hi, I'm keen to know where can this be done and what's the cost?

Anyone know whether this will void the warranty?

Hi mambo, you are not alone. I also encounter a lot of feedback noise when using Bluetooth on my Garmin Nuvi 710. Still can't figure out why. :(
 
Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system

Hi there,

Same here, my FL E90 has the same lousy quality voice coming
from the speakers, I can't even answer the phone with the buttons
on the steering wheel, of adjust the volume. Are we missing some
instructions or proper connections here.
 
Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system

Looks like its not really a good product ? I has been thinking seriously to get it done. But PML said that it is not tested on a 1-series yet, so not sure if it can integrate fully into the car system.
 
Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system

The buttons on the steering wheel is not for the BMW navigation system.

You have to get this option:
BMW Bluetooth interface

Actually the Garmin mic is at the device itself, and the sound is link through our car stereo system through FM signal.

But I am unable to get a clear FM station to pair with the stereo system.

Looks like I have to go down to PML to enquire on this faulty device they are selling.

I will bring all my phones down to see what excuses they will give.
 
Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system

Thanks for the heads-up.
No wonder the the navsat
sound is poor. However the
phone sound quality is better,
strange...
 
Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system

Hi Mambo,

I have the same problem here on my new E90..

There is always an interference noise before the direction is announced when using GPS. Do you have this problem?

ALso, a back ground noise is heard when paired with my handphone.

PML asked me to send down my car. But, still dont have the time.

Anyone has solved this problem??
 
Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system

Next Wednesday.

Book Appointment at Alexandra

went to Bukit Timah they tai chi me to Alexandra told me they are better knowlegde to solve me problem.

told me is not FM transmission but was told it was a connection problem.

Bad connection or not insulated connection causing a feedback to system

Well next week I we be wiser.
 
Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system

Dear Mambo,

I hope they can solve this problem. They are taking their own sweet time.
 
Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system

Not yet

I demand they let me used their courtesy car as they said this type of faults takes 2 days to solve.

Apparently they are going to replace another head unit for me and they said that the reprogramming part takes 2 days.

I have lots of outstanding problem beside this problem that i need to settle with PML and i only had my car for less than a month.

I suggest you make an appointment with them and demand a courtesy car so you will not be handicapped.
 
Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system

Thanks Mambo for your advice. Not sure why programming take so long???

I also discovered one problem which my friend just told me. The left skirting is not flushed with the door. The right is okay. Do you have this problem??

What is the GPS map version. I was given a 3.0 version. BUt, the latest is 4.0
 
Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system

Not sure about the map but i did upgrade the GPS from the Garmin website
 
Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system

Hi Mambo,

I called PML about this problem and they wanted 2 days to solve this problem. I requested for courtesy car, but they have yet to give me an answer when I can send my car in. Do you know when you can send your car in?

They are taking their own sweet time.
 
Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system

So far the iDrive and Navigation system seems to work well for my car. Only problem is the map have very limited addresses. For example, I cannot get my home address. But can still work around it by storing the car's location as an address.
