For the last few days I keep getting a text alert on BMW connected app.
It says you have 10 days to download a Software Update ! Click on it and I get a spinning wheel that stays like that for hours. Go back into the app and it says no upgrade available Same for the car display. Booked in tomorrow at BMW "Fast track" service for them to investigate. Will report back. Currently on 2019-11 |

My upgrade went reasonably well OTA - it failed first time (I think because my engine was still too hot) but then 2 days later it offered the upgrade, so I set it going, locked the car up and left it 30 mins. Came back and all done.
I can't say it looks much different. I did try Apple Maps for navigation to see how they looked and they worked really well but I prefer the BMW ones. Can anyone tell me what the "Cloud Maps" are ? I read it as if the traffic information etc comes from the cloud but I wasn't expecting the maps themselves to look different, and they don't ! |

Pretty much that to be honest, supposedly adds some features regarding destination, pictures, restaurants, parking etc, but the actual maps look the same from what I can see, not used it for navigation since the update, just a quick scroll through the map & settings.

I'm also stuck on the notification to install. I had this same issue back in July on the last OTA and going for a good long schlep in the car to charge the battery sorted it, however this time although I have NOT driven for as long or as continuous as then but still what I would reckon as a decent distance, is not working to force the update to start.

Jumping in late here having not read the entire thread...... so sorry if pointing out the obvious!
However, those saying it doesn’t install or won’t install, have you started your car!? This happened to me, it wouldn’t do anything, or stuck, then I realised it only worked when the engine was on, so sat on the drive and started the car and the OTA update worked. |

Please note folks - this update reset my auto start stop - turned it back on when previously it was set to remember last state ( normally off ) - Bimmercode sorted that one.........

Start stop stopped
Funny, it seemed to do the opposite to mine. Start Stop is normally active but the first (15 mile) journey after the update it did not operate at all (i.e. engine did not stop). Since then only done short drives to work where I barely stop anyway so not noticed it working but it may not have had the opportunity.

Well that was a waste of time
Upon arrival they now tell me they need the car for a full day to upgrade the software. I can't be without transport for a day and no loan vehicles available till mid December. Asked why a full day when my last OTA upgrade took about 20 minutes. Said their process is different... |

After doing a long drive yesterday, the update alert appeared on my phone. I popped out to the supermarket later in the day and when I parked, on turning off the ignition I got prompted to do the install, but it warned that the car couldn’t be driven for 20 minutes. I hit the ‘do later’ option, expecting to be able to kick it off when I got home but it didn’t give the option.
Been out again today and still no sign of the update installation. Anyone else have this? Not sure how to get the message back. iPhone app thinks the transfer is complete pending install. |

based on my estimation my battery level was at least 75% before the charge, which means your battery must be nearly full in order to start the update. Last edited by newway; 11-13-2020 at 07:18 AM.. |

Back at the Garage
Well, after the third time that the passenger side mirror stopped working, (leave if a few hours and it fixes itself) I’m on my way back to the garage today to get it sorted along with the software update.
I’ve printed off the release notes from BMW’s website for the two latest updates for my car just in case they say there’s no new updates. |

Ok, so after 5 days of waiting and 50 mile drive the other day to charge the battery with no luck, I got my hands on a charger.
It was charging for good few hours before it indicated full charge. Notification appeared this morning without starting the engine. All done in about 10 minutes. Upgraded from 07/2020.48 to 07/2020.54 |

Thanks newway & hamera .
That’s a good shout and could well explain it as I’d only done 4 miles in 24 hours since I deferred the install. I’ve just stuck it on charge so will give it 8 hours and see if it prompts me again. |

After reading all the above I finally managed to get my March 2019 330i to update to 07/2020.54 this afternoon. Finally got rid of the annoying App notification on my phone that the upgrade was not complete. It sat there for a week, and despite making two 70 mile journeys on consecutive days it did not activate. After reading the above thread I purchased a CTEK and after a few hours on charge it upgraded as soon as I disconnected the charger.
I was particularly annoyed with this upgrade as I asked my local BMW dealer in Canterbury if they could do it for me a month ago when they had the car in for it's first service and track rod recall. In a very rude manner I was told the upgrade was not necessary for my car and they would charge me for it if it was! I would eventually receive the update OTA when it 'trickled down' to me. Wasn't the fact they had not done it, just their condescending attitude. I left the dealership vowing never to return and contemplating selling the car and going back to Mercedes! Upon reflection I will wait and see what the 2021 C Class looks like as I do really like my G20. |

What is the latest dealer software version? I have the latest OTA update but my car is going in to the dealer tomorrow for the recall and to have them look at my phone dropping connection to the car. To be fair it hasn't happened since the OTA update last week.

Looks like it wiped the coding I’ve done as comfort plus has gone. Will look to add Lane Change Assist back at the weekend. |
