Will keep you guys posted on the outcome of driving due to the emissions recall for Canadians as I took my vehicle in for service today and oil change.

Re-programing the ECU for emissions recall, not looking forward to it but had to be done mandated by Environment Canada and BMW.

There is also a second update/recall also related to the storage compartment, maybe the centre head-rest recall from the US as well.

So After the Safety Recall firmware update, I didn't really notice too much difference in the driving, maybe slight subdued or the placebo effect.

Second Recall was checking of the Battery dual storage system.

However, upon programing the DME unit, the idrive software was also updated:

My Old software version was somewhere in 03/2019.

Here are differences that I noticed immediately when upgrading to 7/2019.53:

-Welcoming lights stop working: when car is unlocked as you approach the vehicle the headlights, door lights and floor light illuminated. The new version is now it is coded out.

-Seat belts no longer hug

-With key FOB in pocket, When locked even when you approach the vehicle the Headlight LEDs illuminated, no more now.

-The Map in the Center control panel has a larger realestate and as you increase speed, it zooms out. As the vehicle slow down it zooms in. Different areas are different in colour to identify public parks/parkettes.

-Colourful Apps icon

-The colour of your vehicle is now represented in the parking, 3D parking, 360 degree view and in the safety menu halo.

-The 3D view of the vehicles and people in the safety halo menu are zoomed out more.

-Needed to test remote app again for climate control. Didn't seem to start

-Driver experience pop-up menu is no longer animated: your car used to drive into the screen when you press and switch between comfort, sport, eco. Now it is passive photo with just the passive vehicle with different colour background for sport/comfort/eco.

-The animation and colour for the mic when the car is waiting for you to speak after saying 'Hello BMW' or after you pres the 'microphone' button has changed.

Second Recall is for Backup Camera from the US and Canada are affected:

(Recall Campaign No. 2019-480: Programming Control Units Rear View Camera (66 82 19RC)

Third Recall found here about B48 and B46 engines for bearing issue, at this point uncertain whether models in Canada are affected:

So after the safety recall firmware update for Camera, the software update is now 11/2019.40

About the rear camera, the field of view is now way further away and the parking lines are no longer close to the vehicle, you see a more the zoomed out view of the vehicle along with the surrounding peripheral view. Maybe the main back-up camera display also stitches some of the view from the side cameras.

The animation for the Microphone when saying 'Hey BMW' is back to grey

The software update disables your personal activation word from the Personal assistance. In other words you can no longer nickname your car.

Unable to tell if camera quality degraded because it's winter here in Canada.

Thanks for the info. Did you lose any settings in iDrive or elsewhere when they did the software update?

Actually I made a mistake, when you logon as guest profile, certain items were not setup initially, therefore not all functions work.

I swapped keys for service, but when you logon with my personal profile key, yes everything and settings remain the same, including the Personal Assistant nickname.

Just the camera angle is zoomed out more and rear parking lines appear further away.
