No, what I'm saying is that your current update is
defective, your iDrive was not supposed to be programmed and coded for something that it is not included in your VIN or in the option list (VO).
The dealer cannot add the Combox to your 2009 car because they are incapable of performing this retrofit at this moment as it is not an official OEM retrofit. This only proves that the 2009 CIC can accept the 2011.5 software without issues so it could be very easy for BMW to offer a Combox retrofit
in the near future if they just want it to.
You need to take you car back to the dealer and request a reload of the correct
coding of the iDrive -the software
version is correct, but something went really wrong in the update process when the system tried to
code that version to your particular VO.
The dealer will tell you that what you are saying is impossible, that their system cannot code something that is not listed in the VO of your car. However the mere fact that your iPod iDrive screen is showing the capability of Album Art when your car VO does not have option
6VC in the VO -it does have option
6FL which does
not support Album Art
- proves that something got messed up at the dealer programming end.
Just show them that iPod screen.
