As of Model Year 2008 Equipped with COMAND Head Unit (Code 512, 527) Blue Tooth Hands-free Telephone conversation Choppy, Echo/Distortion detected especially by the land-line caller.

If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of the Blue-tooth telephone hands-free conversation audio quality being choppy, produces echo on both sides but especially detected by the landline, this may be due to a software error in the COMAND head unit and/or in the COMAND controller (A40/3). update the COMAND head unit software to version 46/07 using DAS 07/08 (or later) and SD Telematics Disc part number 204 827 53 59 (or newer) and update the software in the COMAND controller using DAS 07/08.

This COMAND update will add audio fade option in NAV mode, new icons and different looks when memory card is played.

Too bad that site you link doesn't go into more detail as to what the issues are.

I posted detailed information about the bluetooth problem two months ago...hopefully some of you found it useful then:

When backing up and turning the steering wheel front strut bushings popping as per "P-B-33.15/20B". The torque arm bushings were replaced, and the noise is gone.

Curious if you have to pay for labor on service bulletins?

No, mine was fix for IPOD amp and COMAND update free of charge. I'm going to bring in again for rear brake dust and steering noise before 12K miles.

How can I tell if I have this unit:

Squeaking/Grinding Noise from Rear Axle Area When Driving Without Brake Application
If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of a metal-to-metal squeaking/grinding noise from the area of rear axle when driving without brake application, perform the following.
Note: The cause may be the result of the stator clip that is fitted to stator support of the parking brake shoes. This clip prevents the brake shoes from contacting the aluminum wheel carrier. If the clip is installed incorrectly, it can move from the stator towards the brake disc and make contact. Witness marks can generally be seen on the stator clip when contact is present.
Replace the clip and slide it on only far enough so that the side tabs ( are flush with the stator towards the brake disc

Hello,

Yes, my car has same problem during reverse with steering turning to end, it makes knocking sound. It should cover under warrenty free of charge.

Thanks. I will call the service and make an appointment.

Turning the heat on, no air flows through the vents at all for about 10-15 mins.
