X5 Advice

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have just purchased an 18 month old X5 and would like to know if anyone can help with the following:

Firstly, does anyone know if you can get any kind of 'chip or upgrade' for the TV so that you can watch it whilst driving?, and

secondaly, does anyone know if there is a modification that can be made to the gearbox software that will stop it from downchanging whilst braking down hills. I have experienced this feature on my father's X5 and think it is horrible, if in fact not dangerous. I have found myself braking downhill in normal driving conditions with the gearbox changing down to 2nd gear and 3500 revs, making for a very jerky ride.

Any help would be appreciated.
