Lots of different issues pop up during testing of final customer builds. And those issues are almost never caught by basic factory tests. But some of them could be caused by malfunctioned HW. Don't ask me how I know Last edited by vt100; 05-09-2022 at 06:02 PM.. |

Saw a Q5 yesterday at dealer with a "Semiconductor Shortage Package" listed on the window sticker. Removed blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise and rear traffic warning. Calling this a "package" was laughable.

I dont think this is a big deal. Actually, I feel like BMW is doing their best smart move that does not impact the customer greatly. We all know the chip shortage is an issue. So, BMW has found another source. Instead of removing a chip, they are sourcing a new one. Here they have promised to deliver vehicles without missing hardware and update it later. So, you live a couple of weeks without these two features while they get the software programmed.
On a personal note, if I have wireless bluetooth, I dont need Apple Carplay or Andriod. I think ID7 is much better. I just hook up with that and dont have to see that child interface of Carplay. |

As expected due to 6P1 code.

With some insight into semiconductor supply chains, I don't envy the car manufacturers. Some semiconductors have lead times of 14-16 months. So if you order the parts now, you will get them in Jul-Sep 2023. The auto industry's long product cycles don't help as most semiconductors used in cars are of an older type and most of the new semiconductor manufacturing capacity is added on newer types only. Car companies that are able to do a disruptive design change and stop having 30+ (think I've heard over 100 in some cases) small computers and go for one bigger and then keep up with new chipsets at least once a year will have an easier times than those that are unable or unwilling to do so. I.e. it will be easier for Tesla than for BMW, VW (incl Audi), Daimler/Merc, etc... It's all about design strategy and software development capability. Unfortunately, the German car manufacturers are not that good at the software part... |

It's smart of them and helpful as a consumer. You see exactly what's missing, no second guessing, and will show on the window sticker for easier use for the next buyer down the road. Who cares that they call it a package...it is a package, a package of deleted items.

As for your other question - there's no reason the replacement controller (chip) would be inferior to the original. They are both likely equally spec'ed Cortex-based processors, perhaps from different manufacturers - which would need a code re-compile and retargeting for the differences in perpipherals from vendor to vendor. |
