VO update and My BMW app car avatar
Hi guys, does anyone know if the My BMW app is reading off the car's VO directly or from BMW factory? Just want to know if I updated my VO to reflect the retrofit I made (20" wheels, carbon exterior pack) would it shows up on the car avatar on the My BMW app?
And when updating the VO, you have to determine which option the new one replaces? Let's say I should uncheck 7M9 "extended shadowline" when I check 71C "carbon exterior"? |

Just give it a try.
I know that the car is sending some data back to the BMW servers but i can´t tell you if the VO is sent back and updated.

There´s only a limited number of graphics for the IC and HU stored in the HU. And there are only two known values that change the look of the car, one for the color and one for the trim.

Well, after almost 1.5 years, the pictures finally updated according to the VO a few days ago... The only thing that might triggered it is I just changed phone and reinstalled the app on the new phone. My theory is, the image is being cached in the phone and only downloaded the new images from the server with updated VO when I reinstalled it?

I have a 330i 2022 and M4 xDrive 2023.
I did an upgrades to the breaks (M performance red calipers) in my 330i from the dealer. But nothing showed up in the app avatar yet. I reinstalled the app and tried again but didn't work. I'm thinking of asking the dealer if they updated the VO after the change. On a different note, I've also done some OEM upgrades to the M4 xDrive myself. Now I'm wondering if buying BimmerUtility is worth it, as I might do more OEM modifications (mostly carbon stuff) later on. Last edited by cybrother; 12-13-2024 at 11:28 AM.. |

Hello, I have a BMW 118i F20 LCI Sport Line that I am installing in the BMW OEM M pack with rims... On Ista I coded the M Aeordynamics package but unfortunately on the My BMW application the car still does not have the M pack. Do you have a solution?
Thank you for your help😁 |

Yes, just wait :-)
Remove the app, clear the cache and install the app again.
