iDrive / HD Radio Malfunction

I have a 2009 335 x-Drive sedan w/ Navi, and starting a couple of weeks ago, whenever a radio station goes into the HD mode (the little HD icon appears in the radio section of the navi screen), all of a sudden the radio starts to sound like a bad phone connection with every other 1/10th of a second cutting out. At first i thought it was a specific station, but soon realized that every station does this. Anyone else having this issue?

I took the car in for warranty service, and was told that it's a software issue that can't be fixed immediately, and i would need to wait several weeks for the fix.

Secondly, anyone else having issues with the Navi being somewhat imprecise in the NYC area?

Any feedback much appreciated.

I had a similar situation with the HD radio driving up Rt 46 in NJ just past the I-95 interchange. Eventually stopped after getting off of Rt 46. I passed it off as being the HD radio equivalent of what happens on conventional radio when you drive by high tension wires.

thanks.

Since the problem began i've taken the car to a dealer and apparently this is a known issue with HD radio. (When it isn't in the HD mode, it works great btw). The software fix is supposedly coming out in a few weeks and presumably all dealers should have them available.

The dealer said there is a software fix coming soon? I hope it fixes all the other idrive bugs not just the hd radio one. My dealer said it would take the entire day to reinstall the idrive software.
