Everything else went perfectly.

The disc itself had 2 updates. The first one was about 5-10 minutes with the second one taking longer. I did have to run the disc twice.
The second disc didn't take more than 15 minutes with a bunch of little updates. I also had to run this disc about twice I believe. Overall about 90 minutes needed to get things updated. I will say that during disc 2 the car randomly turned off but the update succeeded without issue.
Don't take my word on this, but I think you can probably even perform the update while driving. I didn't actually try it while driving although I did get to the "OK to Update" screen while driving so I'm guessing you can do it. The car does a very good job of keeping voltages constant across all systems; that's why you're able to start the car without the MMI momentarily turning off compared to other cars that momentarily turn off the stereo when you start the car. I did not try turning the car on though.

After the update my climate controls and battery level were missing. Both of them were added back via the hidden menu. A restart of the MMI was needed after each change.

So what did I gain with the new update?

• My contacts now actually sync via Bluetooth. No more empty phonebook.
• No more "Accept" dialog box when you first start the car. Instead you're greeted with the MMI splash screen (which you can customize by the way) and that's it. Also when you turn MMI off (press and hold the volume button) the splash screen shows up instead of just a blank screen.
• Changing between Radio/XM stations has a fade in/fade out effect. So transitions between stations is nice and smooth. It might not sound like a big deal but it's really nice.
• Voice Command: My voice command button now actually works. I haven't been able to actually successfully get it to make a call or something but never the less, the button now does something and you can talk into it and it understands whatever commands you can give it, but I haven't been able to get it to make a call.. Yet.
• More stability? Initially after getting updated things were a little wonky but now it's all settled in and things seem to be working just fine. I think it's also a bit more responsive, but it might be a placebo effect. I never did have any issues with my MMI so this update just adds some features for me. It also do have AMI settings added in the hidden menu.

I burned my CD's at 16x (the lowest my CD burner supports) on Sony CD-R discs I bought from Target. I think it's been a worthwhile upgrade so far so good. I do have the discs burned if anyone wants them that has had bad luck burning them. I can ship them for free as long as you agree to ship them to the next person gratis to help everyone get updated assuming there's enough interest in that sort of thing.

Thanks in advance.
