COMAND software update problems
The COMAND software was updated on my last visit to my dealer. After the update, I can no longer reject an incoming telephone call by pushing either the “end call” button on the steering wheel or the “END” button on the dash. I can answer an incoming call using the steering wheel control or the “OK” button on the dash, and I can terminate a call with the steering wheel control or the “END” button. I can terminate an incoming call by using the actual telephone. Everything else works fine after the update. I have a BT puck. The technician informed me that I would have to wait until the next update to fix the telephone controls. The update added the ETA (distance & time) displayed and the telephone signal strength in status line during active route guidance, but now I can no longer access the GPS position display (that shows coordinates, elevation and number of satellites). Finally, after the update, I can no longer enter a destination while my car is moving. Does anyone else have these issues, and is there a fix for any of this? Thanks in advance.

I don't know about the rest but this possibility to enter the address while driving seems to be a random outcome after the update. If you are from a region where the this is allowed (I assume so as it was possible previous), it should be possible to version code this to be allowed again.
Isn't it possible to find the GPS coordinates from any other menu, like ETA was previously? Or would you have an option to program either ETA or coordinates or (none) to be seen at the basic display.
