On friday my dealer called me back to let me know the prices for the updates of 2 BL3500 and 2 BV6-22.
He asked 90€ for the PCB update of a BL3500 and 103€ for IC update (software and PUC) of a BV6-22, which is a total of 386€ for four units.
These are the costs for the needed parts only, as I wanted to change them myself. He told me that this are the prices he has to pay ordering directly from B&O in Munich.
Are these prices realistic or is the dealer cheating me ?
I have in mind that Keith wrote somewhere that the PCB update of a BL3500 is about 32 GBP which is around 38€ ! And not 90€.

Very realistic - if it's a quite new BLB 3500 and you have to exchange just the µP and the IC for SW level 2.1.In the worst case, if it's an early 3500 version you want to update to recent SW 3.3 specs (including ML-GW compatibility)you'll have to exchange almost the complete electronics - approx EUR 500 + would be the bill for all parts needed then.

Thanks Vienna,
one BL3500 is SW 1.2 and the other is 2.0.
I ordered two PCBs SW 2.1 to update the speakers myself as it should be an easy job refering to Keith's FAQ.
I thought about the update more than twice because it is quite expensive for just having new source names on the display, but I want to have it perfect.
