I drive a 2019 G20 in NY area and noticed that latest OTA software updated killed HDD radio channel sound. You can still see and listen to the HD channels but after switching to an HD channel, it would show an HDD icon next to the channel name after like 2 seconds and then the sound quality would improve dramatically. Not anymore.

Has anyone else noticed that?

I'm on 03/2020 still...

Although I suspect my issue being a US-spec car in Europe is part of the problem.

I have no idea, there's no release note anywhere.
The only new things I noticed are the addition of AndroidAuto and "Window activation", but I guess those were part of 07/2020 any way.

Some info about it here: https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...postcount=1017
I don't see official release notes. I tried changing the URL on the BMWUSA site--nothing posted yet. For reference, here's the link for 2020.07. https://connecteddrive.bmwusa.com/cm...es_2007_US.pdf
You could try searching for info in German, but it doesn't seem like anything major or interesting.

Every new software release always contains the best two features. Erasing all of your coding and removing your ability to tune. Thanks BMW.

Socosurf ,

If it's any consolation, apparently BMW USA is very slowly incrementally rolling out OTA. Haven't figured out their logic (it sure doesn't seem to be geographically), but about a month ago, I just happened to check for updates & my downloaded & installed version 07/2020.54, even though it had been on on 07/2020.45

I guess eventually, we'll all get OTA

Hi - The Remote SW Upgrade disappeared from my Connected Drive app also over the last few days.

By chance, I found out that BMW is rolling out a new app called 'My BMW' . I downloaded it from the app store, and there it is -back again! Remote Software Upgrade is there.

I do think BMW's OTA and app management is a complete mess however!

Remote software update is still in BMW Connected and I do not see an app called My BMW in the App Store.

On android phones the My BMW app can be downloaded manually as an apk and installed, even if it is not officially supported on the local google playstore.

https://apkpure.com/my-bmw/de.bmw.co...d.mobile20.row

Overall looks and works better than the old Connected app

I tried this months ago but the app wouldn't recognize my VIN during registration.
