I'll check when I go back in next Friday to have the key and car memory sorted. I will ask the tech to read the car and tell me what he sees. If you do a NavCoder device scan, SES is recognised.

What puzzles me is that the actual SETTINGS in the Bluetooth SES haven't changed, just the fact that SES is active, so I assume that they defaulted every setting in the General Module, and presumably the bit in the X3 that says the car has SES is configured there.

It's all down to BMW grabbing cash. They reckon that if the vehicle wasn't ordered with Voice Recognition when new, then you need an additional module fitted. But some dealers do know how to officially code the SES, but there isn't a retrofit coding path for it, it's some software switch in the GM coding.

I reckon if the tech had bothered to read the vehicle settings (off the GM), and saved them, then this wouldn't have happened. Now, as for TV in Motion, I don't understand that as I thought that was coded in the TV module. But it looks like that may be a GM coding too....

Wonder if Jochen can enlighten us?
