Was also included with Nav in UK - didn't see it as an option when I got my (Canadian) 2010 35d. Shame - found it very useful in UK before I came to Canada.

Assist has stopped working on my 2010 35d as well. Dealer now tells me it was a one year subscription but I thought it was free for 4.

It's definitely worse when the engine is coldest, but to be honest I've not done many journeys more than 40 mins or so whilst it's been really cold. It's not a thing that goes away after 5 or 10...

My experience with a 2010 35d is that the performance of the car and its economy degrade below about -5 or maybe -10 Celcius. Some of the difference to the warmer weather may be due to winter fuel...

Many thanks for the reply. I agreed to drive the car for a week or so to see how it goes and get back to them if I'm still not happy with it.

Just a normal stereo mini-jack plug. The audio works fine - the only disadvantage is that you have to use the iPod controls rather than the steering wheel controls and the iDrive. That's what the...
