A new head unit (Any good?)
Is there any benefit with a new head unit? (Except HD Radio?)
My 135i is 01/08. Today I've got a new head unit because my local dealer broke it when they do recent battery cable recall service. New head unit seems exactly same as old one, except now it can catch HD Radio. Couldn't find any difference though. Old dealer installed iPod adapter also works fine with the new head unit. Is there any significant improvement I don't know yet? USB retrofit? Any input would be great! Thanks! |

HU should be the same except for HD radio signals. Did you check to see of any new features in the audio menu ?
Btw... how long did it take your dealer to do the recall? I have heard they have to remove the dashboard to get access to the fuse box area - and thats a 4.5hour job. How did your recall go? Did they also update your engine SW ?

Spent almost hour to find a difference, but I couldn't find anything new except the HD Radio signal.
4.5 hours job sounds right. The dealer called me back after 5 hours(HU replacement is different story though). Now I can see how they screwed my HU. Like you said, they must have removed dashboard for the process, or they don't have any reason to touch the HU. Don't see engine SW related service record. I believe mine already has latest engine SW. I will check engine SW version. |
