Is the mp3 retrofit service bulletin available as a UK-sourced document, because I can see the bloke in service saying something like '...that's got nothing to do with us- it might work in the States, but no chance here...you can have it if you want, but it will be £150..."? Unfortunately, from my experience, BMW UK have far less knowledge about their cars than you, Fleet! Perhaps I should tell them to speak to BMW SA's customer-voted spokesman- E90Fleet? |

Just tell them you phoned BMW and they told you the dealer must load CIP 20 and then choose MP3 via "retrofit" to fix the problem you are having

I wonder if this will add functionality of turning DRLs on (through iDrive) and fan timer in climate control menu.

Has anyone in the US contacted their dealer about this to get the update?

Brought my car in this morning, picked it up in the afternoon.
I told them I also wanted the MP3 fix, they didn't had a clue what i was talking about. Then I showed them the doc E90Fleet posted earlier and they said they would look into it. And yezz! I can now play MP3 (I actually inserted a MP3 cd before i brought it in, when i got it back it was at track 8...). Car is from april 2005 btw. |

Got my update for mp3s today in the UK.
I've got a wk36 build 330iSE. Just showed the service bloke the SIB 65 30 05 document & that was it- no kicking, no screaming & no showing my manual to prove I should have it! Thanks Fleet. You've saved me £150!

Had a play about with format/media compatability following the mp3 update:
......................Files in ROOT............Files in 1st SUB-DIR ......................mp3.....wma................mp3......wma CD dash........... .......:mad:.............................:mad: DVD: CDs.................:mad:.............................:mad: DVD: DVDs...............:mad:.............................:mad: CD changer........................................... I've tried CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R & DVD-RW & they ALL have worked with mp3s. WMA files only seem to play in the CD-changer.

Just called my BMW dealer (Momentum BMW) here in Houston and spoke with him about this update and he had no idea. I sent him the bulletin via email for his review and I'm awaiting his answer. I made an appointment for next week to have them update the software anyhow. Will keep you updated.

I'm showing my technical ignorance here, so pardon. Does Itunes format in MP3? Will I be able to play these in the CD player?

iTunes saves music from your CDs as high-quality AAC files — a format that builds upon state-of-the-art audio technology from Dolby Labs. But you can choose different audio formats, too. iTunes lets you convert music to MP3s at high bit-rate at no extra charge.

Don't forget to request the mp3 functionality. I just answered another post from another guy who got the update but he still can't play mp3.

Bought my car on 6/29/2005.
330i with Navigation... 7 months & no MP3. Had new CD changer installed on 1/12/06 + CIP 20.1 update. Not sure which did the trick? but my car plays MP3 flawless now! |
