True, unless it decides I want the nav to take me to passenger seat, Tennessee.

Getting him to use it will take more of a devious approach. Ive had a lot of practice at that. I’ll think of something.

He probably won’t want to adjust the seat settings either. The older he gets, the more stubborn.

I’m a little concerned what he will be like a month from now when we head out on our trip. Might be difficult to get him into the car at all.

If I can trick him into using it. Unfortunately my arms aren’t quite long enough to reach across the car.

That's why BMW made the voice command feature and iDrive access to these functions - they anticipated stubborn husbands sitting in the drivers seat but the one thing they did not anticipate was someone wrapping their X5 in stickers

Maybe that is why they changed from metal to plastic.

Hey mine just stopped working today .. 19 model year. Did they say what was loose ? Under seat ? Something else ?

My massaging seats seemed stronger at first (received car April 2019) and now seem weak. I did notice once on a bumpy road that the seat made a farting sound as I would drive over bumps (okay, let the smart remarks rip!) suggesting that there is an issue with the air bladder. Anyone else have this issue or notice a decline in the strength of the massage over time (maybe a software issue?)?

glad you were able to figure it out and dial it in. I have massaging seats and I have not even used it once, however I may need to start bc everyone I talk to loves the features and like you said gets addicted to using it! lol

As soon as my wife gets in she hits the button for that massage. It is a must have for her. I’m thinking of getting her, of course for my fun too, an M340 but unfortunately not offered in those.
