Does that mean you're getting the engine updates Andy? But not Doris etc?

wheelb,

I put my music on a usb memory card, it works pretty well . Also, I stream from Slacker radio or Pandora through my iphone.

 

[dennis]

Mine is in for a few minor fixes right now. I was told the update was delayed about 30 days waiting for some parts.

 

[chrisca]

parts? I thought it was just software?

I was told they are adding at least an additional antenna to help with reception. I don't know about any other HW.

They are also changing out the passenger seat weight sensor that causes faulty airbag indications.

There is a fix coming for the rear quarter light assembly, the horn, the heater sensors, the gearbox response, the expresso machine water capacity and oh, Doris.

20th Oct 2012

 

[wheelb]

okay my dealer just called Nov 5th anyone else get a call or confirm hope there is no more delay . now crappy part ill be in Vegas with the car for sema so i cant do it till car gets back nov 10-11 lol fail !

 

[Jerry]

I've been told 5th Nov but will believe it when it actually happens.

 

[andy c]

Nov 5th it is Guys,but remember thats the start date!! I would think they will start on their own showroom cars to get the knack,then call in customers in vin order,if they can do 2 a day that would be great,but probably lodgistically immposible,so even though mine will be one of the first (vin 79) im not excpecting to get the call till at least mid november,obviously many on here will be quicker as some worldwide dealerships havent delivered too many cars,so the bottleneck will be in the UK.
So im expecting you lot to tell me how good it is,and what im in for !!

I have been told by my dealer that it takes 2 days *per car* and that they cannot do two cars simultanously because they only have one bespoke McL techstation to do the reprogramming.

Because of the volume of cars Manchester had the forethought to buy another techstation,just my type of customer service

 

[roundincircles]

sounds like the Sat Nav is still a work in progress........recalculate, recalculate
