ECU tune advice needed! Locked content

Hey guys,

Hoping some of the knowledgeable folks here can give me some good advice.

I currently have a Powerchip tune in my car. No CEL mod as I have high flow cats. My flash version is from about a year ago so I have been dealer upgraded since all the DCT issues.

My car is an 09 and the NAV is terrible. The dealer is willing to upgrade my NAV to all new 2011.5 maps under warranty. However, they gave me the car back since they said the upgrade would require an entire car system flash upgrade and I instructed no software flashes. This would overwrite my tune.

Question is two fold.... Has anyone noticed substantial NAV improvement with the 2011.5 maps? Do I get sat view?

Also, do I get new iDrive enhancements with the upgrade?

If so, I could always let them and then retune (it is harder to retune once locked though and will cost a few bucks more)

What say you all?? is it worthwhile? Or leave well enough alone.... Sorry if this is the wrong section, it kind of fits in both engine and electronics....

Thanks!!
