Vehicles produced up to [NEW] March 30, 2007
SITUATION
Customer may complain of the following:
[NEW] The following software errors were corrected with the release of Progman 27.00.00 (Target data Status E060-07-09-515).
1. An erroneous check control message stating the "SOS inactive" is displayed. Refer to SI B84 16 07 for more information.
2. Vehicles equipped with iPOD using the USB interface (SA 6FL), switches from iPOD mode to FM mode.
3. CCC: Radio does not resume with previously listened to station. Refer to SI B65 28 07 for more information.
4. Intermittently there is no sound from the radio in FM mode only. Vehicles equipped with CHAMP only. Normal operation is restored after sleep mode or radio switched to AM.
5. When the vehicle is started the audio treble switches to the default value. However the display continues to show the correct value set. Vehicles equipped with CHAMP only.
6. If the vehicle is switched off with the TLC (Lane Departure warning SA 5AD) active, the TLC will be reactivated immediately the next time the ignition is switched on (Terminal 15). The "Activation Threshold" display flashes briefly in the instrument cluster display.
7. E64 only: The driver's seat sporadically adjusts in the longitudinal directions on its own.
The following software errors were corrected with the release of Progman 25.01.00 (Target data Status E060-07-03-520). Only software corrections for the last 2 Progman versions are listed below.
1. CCC (Car Communication Computer) equipped vehicle, the SDARS (Satellite Radio) stored station list is intermittently empty since programming with Progman V25.00.00.
2. Poor RTTI (Real Time Traffic Information) reception. The CID (Central Information Display) is constantly displaying "Transferring Messages" since programming with Progman V25.00.00.
The following software errors were corrected with the release of Progman 25.00.00 (Target data Status E060-07-03-510).
1. Engine pinging and cold idle fluctuation complaints. A jolt may be felt under braking. Only N62TU.
2. CCC: The programmable diamond MFL button does not work when set to "Next entertainment source" when vehicle is in motion.
3. CCC: The customer occasionally has poor radio reception after the vehicle was programmed with Progman V23.x or V24.x.
4. The speedometer and tachometer needles shake when the vehicle is idling.
5. CCC: Slow response to inputs made when using controller after startup.
6. CCC: A high frequency whistling noise intermittently can been heard in radio mode
7. CCC: Navigation system pop-up arrow display missing. Refer to SI B84 61 06.
8. CCC: CD/CDC track advances after key cycled. Refer to SI B65 32 05.
The following software errors were corrected with the release of Progman 24.00.00 (Target data Status E060-06-12-510).
1. CCC (Car Communication Computer): The "dynamic route" SVS (Voice Recognition System) option is missing on vehicles with RTTI (Real Time Traffic Information).
2. Front side marker lights erroneously coded off after software update with Progman 23.x.
The following software errors were corrected with the release of Progman 23.00.00 (Target data Status E060-06-09-520).
1. CCC: Voice input system incorrectly states speed limit in "km". Refer to SI B84 24 05.
2. CCC with Top HiFi (SA 677) loses surround sound settings after a Navigation system announcement. Refer to SI B65 08 06.
3. CCC: The CD/DVD/CDC drive continues to spin even after the key is off. No audio output is heard. When the customer returns to the vehicle the audio CD is on a different track. This is most noticeable while listening to audio books on CD.
4. CCC: The customer states that sporadically, it is not possible to acknowledge the "Accept" button on the navigation system disclaimer screen using the controller. Refer to SI B84 20 06.
5. CCC: Radio failure after entering the destination in the Navigation system via the voice input system. Other audio sources are not affected.
6. CCC: Sporadically the radio continues to play after the key is turned off. This fault occurred after programming the vehicle using Progman V 19.1.
7. CCC: After changing the road map scale using the voice input system; it is not possible to change the map scale using the controller.
8. CCC: The audible warning gong sounds intermittently after the vehicle is started and cannot be turned off unless the vehicle key is cycled. No check control message is displayed while the gong is sounded.
9. CCC: The radio audio cuts out briefly in FM mode only while driving. Vehicle already has the tuner profile corrected as per SI B65 26 05 and fault code CCC-ANT "DACA" hardware reset fault is stored.
10. CCC: The radio station that is currently being listened to intermittently changes to the next station in the station list. This can happen every 2 seconds
11. CCC: Check control gongs and PDC tones have no audio. Other audio functions operate correctly
