I have a few question regarding the SWI-PAC steering wheel control. What did the workshop actually do to fix the problem? I too have this problem where the source will change when i use my horn.
2nd, do u have any problem seeing the screen when the sun light hits the screen. I cant see sh!t every time when the sun hits the screen. I ended up sliding a thin cardboard paper between the bezel and air con outlet to use a sun shade  Looks very funny if u ask me.
3rd, do u have any problems with noise when using bluetooth? My wife said she cant really hear me half the time when im on the bluetooth with her. Maybe the alpine mic is not as good as ur mic.

Aside from LDiggs patronizing me w/ his .25" comment (which I still don't understand, nor did he clarify), this is a big problem for me as well...especially based on how I sit in the car. I just drove to Seattle a few days ago and I can see a brightness change in the screen when I sit upright vs how I normally sit. I'm still looking to sell my bezel and buy the mybimmer.net bezel that tilts the screen down further just for this reason.
I had someone sit in the X and randomly keep talking to me as they moved the mic around till I found an area that didn't sound boomy or hollow. I ended up mounting it in one of the black, blank removeable panels next to the domelight, sunroof switch, etc. I drilled a small hole in it, them lightly Dremeled the hole till the mic slide in and made a tight fit. Just as long as I'm looking forward or to the right, it sounds great.
On a side note, my AVIC F90BT has a USB and iPod connector that I ran to the glovebox. I don't have an iPod, so I use the USB to power a 1TB external harddrive (formatted in NTFS) in a portable metal case that fits in the palm of my hand, so now I can take all my music and movies w/ me.
