Buggy iDrive and useless Siri Eyes Free

Hey guys,

I'm curious if any other owners are noticing the following issues-

(1) Song/Title/Album are not updating on iDrive screen. This happens when I use Podcast app (iPhone), iTunes radio, Pandora (only via BT, not the case w/ ConnectedDrive).

(2) Scroll wheel on steering wheel does not consistently allow me to change tracks. Either that, or there is a considerable lag. I end up using the button on the stereo itself.

(3) Nav screen reboots while driving. Not sure if it is related to my BT streaming or what. I've done a search on this, and see that other people have similar issues. In those cases, the entire unit had to be replaced. This is something I am hoping to avoid. Nav reboot only happened once for me. I'll keep an eye out on that.

(4) Siri's ability to do things is limited when you activate it on the steering wheel (Siri Eyes Free). I cannot open apps or check my last received text msg using Siri Eyes Free. If I were to activate Siri via the home button on the phone, I have no issues with those tasks. I haven't tried other features like sending txt or making calls. Anyone have any luck trying the scope of its functionality?
