Didn't fix this issue for me. Also I can't use the voice command and change to preset 2. All other presets work fine. I was hoping this update woiuld resolve my issues but no go.

Re-select English at the bottom and it should take you to the VIN prompt.
Doesn't go anywhere. Put my VIN in. What is supposed to happen?

I enter the last 7 digits of my VIN, the site validates it, and the Continue bar below the VIN turns blue. I click on Continue, and it brings me to the Download screen.

On the Download screen I get a Checkbox to acknowledge the User Rights Agreement, and another blue bar to click, Software update (6.6MB).

Could be a browser issue. I'm using Firefox 9.01 on Windows 7. What are you using?

Enter VIN then I get asked to login which takes me to a German page. I'm assuming that if it was important BMWUSA would make it available on their site.

You'll need a browser with javascript enabled. Also works fine with latest versions of IE and Google Chrome. No need to login after entering VIN for me

I've never seen the login screen that you refer to. We're taking two different paths after entering the VIN. I can think of two reasons. If your X3 doesn't have options 633, 644, 6FL, 6NH, 6NK or 6NL then the update doesn't apply. If you've got one or more of these options then try a different browser.

If you're happy with the way that your Bluetooth, phones and USB interface are working then there is no need to do the update. I applied it purely for the novelty of being able to apply a software update to my X3.

Applied the update yesterday. It did NOT fix the telephone button issue. Worthless waste of time.

Surprising. It fixed the phone pick up issue from my X3. I also tried to pair my phone again and I could easily pick up first call from steering button.

Re-entered my VIN exactly as before and this time it worked - no idea why...
Do I need to unpack it before I put it onto a thumb drive?

Could it be tha&t this update affects the way the idrive system accepts text entries?
I'm quite sure that the system now decides more quickly to throw me out of the part where you can select your numbers & letters and gives me the shortlist (far to long and unpractical) of all elements that match the criteria...

It's hard to pinpoint what exactly is off but this update doezs some things I don't like, I 'll revert back to the original if I can.

It may have changed something but it seems unlikely as it's labelled as a Bluetooth update

No, as Nahoa says. Just copy it to the root directory of a thumb drive, and use the center console USB port to install it. Just for giggles, double check that the file size is about 6.6MB. I had a problem with my first download, and ended up with a file that was about 2.4MB.

All done. Downloaded and burped into the system. Let's see if it makes any difference.

...same for me both with IP4 and BB Bold.

I think I will delete the BT paring profile and restart then save. Maybe the bug is due to auto paring?

Yes delete the old profiles and create new and pair the phone. Also set its bluetooth for Audio and Telephone.

It worked for me for iPhone 4.

Is anyone having a problem with iOS5.0.1 and Bluetooth streaming?

The problem started after I installed iTunes Match. I keep my iPhone in shuffle and I am a music surfer. The Bluetooth streaming works fine, until I fast forward through the songs. I can fast forward maybe 10-20 songs before It can no longer go to the next song. It just plays to the end of the song and stops. If I fast forward on the iPhone itself, It plays the next song, but the music info does not display and the iDrive FF still does not work. I also find that the fast forward on the steering wheel controls messes the whole thing up too. The only way I have found to resolve it, is to shut off bluetooth music and turn it back on. I upgraded to 1004.BIN. There was no difference between 1002.BIN and 1004.BIN. I shut off iTunes Match on my iPhone and I still get the same issue.

Please test this and tell me if you are getting the same behavior.
-iPhone ---> Songs ----> Shuffle
-Play through Bluetooth streaming
-Fast forward through the songs

Thank you.
