Re: Turbo Noise

Hi MindOne.

Just like you, I thought there must be an issue  but having had the car (2006 E53 3.0D Sport) 4 years now with the whistle it must be the norm as I've not had any issues. Unless someone with a lot more knowledge than me now says I've been lucky and everything about to go fubar.

Re: Sonos or Bose

Sonos all the way. House is full of them, sometimes much to the dislike of the neighbours.

Can you put a pic up of the new screen?
Thinking of trying this to get my Bluetooth back up on the menu. Don't want to brick the system though.

Re: Telephone/BMW Assist Disappeared

So you reckon it might not be broken and just needs recoding?
Strange that it just disappeared like that tho.
Any way if checking if it's working or not myself?
I don't have nav coder only a BMW scanner 1.4 and that just says it doesn't find it when scanned.
