Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system
The service adviser and technican that took care of my car are local leh. But they are a bit funny. Right rear light (cracked cover) need to pay has ready stock and can be installed right away. Rear left light (malfunction) under warranty need to wait 2 weeks and have to return another day for repair.

Not that foreign talent no good... that the foreign talent can't understand english well? hahahaha

Wow! Then this is indeed true : " Money talks!"
It is quite common within the car industry.. as often the servicing people, are asked to indent for parts via warranty code.
As they will try not to mess up their "sales" inventory .. imagine, they have to do some paper work to change it to a warranty part... and sometimes.. if they just let go... the factory may deem it not a warranty part so PML got to "chia kar kee" - eat in on themselves...
So all these hassle, of paperwork, lah.... etc... therefore, servicing people have their warranty indent system.. I think so, lah! I am no expert.. just my .2 cents worth...

Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system
Overall, I am quite lucky!
My bluetooth connection is good and clear! As good as my previous dedicated nokia car bluetooth module. So no complaints, here.
For navigation, I avoided using the outdated Garmin maps but used those from Malsingmaps.com and or Malfreemaps.com. And in addition, the voice modules are "updated".
Here, you can still hear the noise ratio, in-between annoucements, can't be help, but overall, reasonably clear annoucements.
No regrets. Can live with it - 4 me...

Hi Mambo,
YOu are considered lucky, next week you can get the problem fixed.
They supposed to call me, but have yet to call me. If I call them and they will say " I was about to call you".
Tried of PML. Should have chosen a C instead.

Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system
Just got back my car.
Navigation system pretty loud and CLEAR.
Bluetooth with Mobilephone now works almost perfect.
They change the AUDIO CONTROL the old version is faulty.
New E90 do not have this problem as they are install with the new model audio control.
So if you are getting bad feedback hiss sound, u must have got the old model, takes 2 days to fix.
I must say mine Sales and Service Adviser do a pretty good job as best as they can , only PML is a bit frustrating at times.

Aiyoh! two days to re-program audio system!
Even MS Vista takes shorter period to re-install! Low level format of the audio system, followed by audio test, test for crc errors etc...
That means no need to remove anything lah? just reload something lah? CHim.....

Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system
Actually it takes them about 1 days work but you know PML do not want to be rush.
I hand them my car at 930am and next day around 4 pm plus they told me i could pick up my ride.
Also mention they have to remove the system to installed the audio control and the programming and testing etc.....
Anyway it is worth it as things are supposed to be like this, for all those bro who are about to collect their FL E90 do the test first and and not take collection until they fix the problem.
