themnmd · 12-19-2019, 11:48 PM

Hey who else got a OTA map update in USA? I got mine about 2 day ago, it is the second one since I have had my car (6 months ago) . Now if they can do that for idrive

I got my second map update. Doesn't help with the numerous iDrive issues though... Please BMW push an iDrive update!

I've gotten various map updates. This has worked fine. It's the iDrive OTA updates that aren't.

themnmd · 12-20-2019, 05:29 PM

As of yet they are not pushing out any I drive updates, at least in North America.

mzdial · 12-21-2019, 09:26 PM

I got the update/notification a couple days ago as well.

RSnic · 12-22-2019, 09:44 AM

Ditto-- got a map update, albeit of just my region of US, earlier week

How do you guys know when there's an update? I haven't gotten any map updates yet.

I am still on Europe Live 2018-4, while apparently there is version 2019-2

I have a few newbie questions:
1. Since map files are so large (20+GBs), how are updates done OTA? They only send updated patches?
2. If I download the updated map files, can I just upload/update the car by plugging in a USB?
3. Since paying for Connected Services, shouldn't this update (one way or another being handled by the dealer)?

Thx

Current version is 2019-4. You can download it using BMW Download Manager and you need USB stick.

It will result with USB stick which you can insert into car. Map update will be offered at that point...
