BMW should at least post a newsletter, email or something telling owners why their vehicles are not receiving updates. Unless they think most owners: a) don't care b) don't know there is an update unless they spoke to someone else with an update or looked on here... |

My wife has a Tesla, and I completely agree with Paul, AS LONG AS you're not saying something like, "I wish the car would do this or that".

It was just a video showing where the software update is In the settings menu in the car. Didn’t provide anything new

I would think owners are concerned when they have CarPlay connectivity issues that no other manufacturer has. Or when the key card doesn't work the way BMW claimed it should. Mine no longer unlocks the door.

A key that doesn't unlock. Sounds problematic 😅

I have a 2020 M340Xi and it has software version 03/2019.60; I have tried using the iDrive and the Connected drive app several time to update and all I get is my system is up to date. Think my car has a date of manufacture of 6/26/19 (not certain as I took ED on Jul 12) What gives on version 07.2019.39? Is there something I am doing incorrectly? Thanks

Does anyone on this thread have fact-based knowledge on BMW version numbering?
It's entirely possible that all models/all specs aren't *supposed* to have the same SW version. If you car says it's up to date, why question it? What does BMW gain by somehow refusing to update customer software? I think all the conspiracy talk and BMW bashing is out of line, unless someone has facts about how their versioning works. |

2. Software updates are common, in fact I don't think I've ever seen any software which doesn't have updates. There is always enhancements. 3. The reason why they wouldn't waste time updating is if you don't have a legitimate reason for needing it. Been answered on why possibly they wouldn't update without necessity. 4. Last time dealership updated for me... it solved many of my problems.. you still don't believe software updates are necessary and I should stick with the one my car came with?? 5. I believe it says it's up to date on the vehicle because OTA updates aren't available yet, so if it doesn't pick up that theres updates out there, then it's just going to say it's on the most recent version. |

Regardless of your assertions which are false because even the heavily spec'ed cars which mine is not have the same march software version as me. My car does not have Professional Driving Assistance package or the 3D camera etc. Yet all the cars manufactured prior to July had the same software version.
The march update in my car is ancient and requires an update. Dealer has advised me to drop car off next week and they will address it along with the recall for the camera.

Also I didn't say "BMW has been doing OTA updates for years, hard to imagine they aren't working all of a sudden in 2019' — why is that even included as a part of my post on your reply??? Anyways I'm going to assume you wrote it in the wrong field and if YOU are saying that it's hard to imagine OTA isn't working all of a sudden, you clearly aren't aware of what's going on.... might want to read up a bit on this forum and also BMW is aware OTA isn't working currently and it's slated to be released soon. |

Has anybody gotten the recall for the reverse camera done yet? My car is at the dealer getting this done now, and I asked if it was an update to the latest iDrive, I said because I was having CarPlay issues and wanted the latest version and he said yes that the recall simply updates you to the latest iDrive software.

Tomorrow I will be dropping off mine as well for camera update and software update. I was told I need to leave it for about 2 days.

Unfortunately I was taking it in because my windshield cracked due to a rock (or maybe a brick haha) hitting it - this wasn't just a little rock chip, I had a crack that went halfway across the windshield and the crack went all the way through to the inside. But I should get my car back tomorrow night - so I'll see what version I end up with - and also check to see if maybe the Lane Change Assistant starts working!
