Arrow New Features for NOV'12 builds!

While going thru the latest 991 manual that includes 4/4S, I noticed a couple of neat features available from Nov...

1. Jukebox (up to 10K MP3s saved to PCM HDD)
2. Internet content via smartphone (i.e., iPhone as standard/ Android optional)



I will confirm with the sales guys to ensure these are included in my 4S which is now confirmed the be a Nov build!

excerpt attached...

that's a cool feature. Today, though, you can get the equivalent jukebox feature by plugging in a USB memory device, or by recording songs onto DVDs. The ability to use the SAP is actually more exciting.

With the upgraded PCM starting 11/12 builds, you'll be able to see the album art in the display too.

Thanks for the info. I am just working on a build now and will have to make sure this option is included with my car.

Fingers crossed for a software upgrade. I only really care about the album art work; I love it on my BMW

Does anyone know more about the TMC ? ie Traffic info. Is that only for Europe? Or US also? Will it override XM Navtraffic , work either / or , XM navtraffic only when optioned with XM? Personally I dont care for XM radio but like to have traffic and FM traffic info works fairly well for me. I would like to order the Burmeister system that bundles in the XM so I am wondering if the TMC function will still be available..
