Just updated MMI from 2740 to 4140. Report:
#21
One more advantage of upgrading to 4140 is that the CD playing actually "Pauses" when you turn the volume "Off".
In the last version I had (2740), the CD would still keep playing in the background with just the sound muted.
I do not see any improvement with the annoying cellphone buzz when connecting though.
Also the phonebook import function has been enabled but It says that my car memory is NOT SUFFECIENT to hold all my phonebook information from the cellphone.

I did it 2 weeks ago, and it went fine. Pulled my car from garage and went to a supermarket parking lot at 6am. Left the car in idle, and did the first disc while browsing the web on my laptop.
Took about an hour and 15 min for me. Had to run disc one 3 times before everything was updated. Once it all looked fine, I went home and connected bluetooth on my phone. Originally, my phone could only make and recieve calls. I could not see my contacts. Now I could "import" contacts to the MMI (not what I wanted) but not read the phonebook, "live".
I did disc 2 on Sunday. Went to same place. I think I had to run that one twice before all parts were done. 55 minutes.
Now, I could view the phonebook in realtime, but instead of a little icon for home, cell, work, it just said "SIM" by every entry in the display.
Finally, I upgraded the ROM on my windows mobile phone to a newer bluetooth radio version, and everything is working great (now I get the icons). And since I did not bother with the "import" I know that the contacts the car sees are always up to date.

I'm in the same position as you. Wondering if you ran the upgrade and have any tips. My dealer was clueless (at least the two techs I talked to).
Thanks to some email exchanges with Pierre, I'm going to v10 of the Nav DVD with at least 33.6, maybe 44.1.
Would love to hear how it went!
