Assist Window Music Info

Hi All,

New to the idrive, havent heard great things about it haha

One quick question, is there a way (dealership programming thing) to get the assist window on the right to display music info!? I kno wI can do music on the main screen and NAV on the assist, but im wondering if it can be set the other way around, if that makes any sense

That would make me too happy, so im not optimistic

To be fair, i think this is actually a bit more complicated that it first might seem. The problem is that depending on the music source, the detailed info is a bit different in each case. HD radio, RDS FM info, ipod, usb, CD (with mp3 tag info), Sirius, DAB (europe) etc.

Also you're restricted by the number of characters thats probably available in the assist window, so I'm not so sure how useful it would be to have music info displayed.

This could be one of the reasons why BMW haven't chosen to implement it.
