Is there already a V6.2 for A/B/C/CLK COMAND-APS Map Disk?

Came across this on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4643556004

P/N's shown are:
A 169 827 36 59
B6 782 36 74

which would seem to indicate slightly later DVD than V6.1 (B6 782 3641).

Anyone know the difference between V6.1 & V6.2?

Asked my UK dealer about it this morning.

The Axxx part number is listed, on back order in Germany, with no UK pricing in the system yet
The B part number is not.

They've put in a request for UK pricing, and the service guys are going to find out why its come out (if it is indeed released yet) so close to 6.1 and whether there is an upgrade program (like 4.0 was replaced by 4.1 free because of issues with 4.0)

It may be that that is an early test version that has escaped and it wont be available for a good few months.

BTW, today my 6.1 one was showing the traffic jams on the correct sides of the carriage way .. maybee the traffic jams just matched the displayed side by luck/fluke of course

It's very strange - there's a picture of the case on eBay with the p/n and version number clearly visible.
Yet I can't recall seeing any mention of V6.2 previously. It would surely be a heck of an issue if is an early test version that has been liberated?
The .2 suggests it's a bug fix, so my main concern would be to know what's wrong with V6.1.

I'm reasonably sure that UK TMC was added at 6.1 (and not 6.0) so the .1 release may be major as-well.

I'll check with my dealer again in a week or so ..

I havent noticed anything wrong with my 6.1 - seems to do a superb job , and having TMC on A roads aswell as motorways is great ..
