I'm still on 03/2021.50
I had an OTA update 7 months ago (according to the app) but I'm wondering whether this actually installed. Wouldn't 03/2021 be from March, and the 07/2021 from 7 months ago (rounding things up)? Or does it all take months to get out to vehicles?

As for as the remote upgrades go, they are usually delayed a cycle, so as dealers & factory are getting 21/07, they release 21/03 as a RSU, as there's been enough time and enough cars made with the software to have a good level on confidence in them. You should however by now at least received 21/07, and tbh 21/11. Do you know the % charge of your battery ? |

How do I find the % charge?

No, only got an OBD11 for VAG.
I'm not overly worried about it though, save for I know an update is out there, so will get it done at a dealer (which is a bit of a pain).

Historically I have always received the update 3 months (ish) after the date the software is named. 07.21 however is now nearly 6months after release and I am still showing 03.21. I assume its probably not going to push itself through now and a visit to the dealers is my only option? |

I don't understand the obsession with OTA updates - I can't even tell any difference from 03.21 to 07.21 so why waste all that time and effort? The only thing that was good going to 03.21 was the adjustments to the lane departure stuff but it's not often there's anything significant.

I just called them up and told them that my idrive keeps rebooting and also having trouble changing tracks when streaming music from an Android 11 phone ( which I didn't have with me when I dropped the car off as it was my wife's phone..yeah right). Car was updated and the dreaded lane change software can be switched off and it stays off .... thank goodness.

Indeed the senior tech at my local dealership was only concerned about latest software updates if they flagged up whilst my car was with them for service or warranty work. My philosophy these days is if my car’s running perfectly fine and nothing appears untoward then it’s best to leave the bastard thing alone than run the risk of introducing potential further problems! |

Think you’re on a bit of a wild goose chase. The battery charge doesn’t determine if there is an update, it just determines if there is sufficient charge to allow the update to apply.
So if you have a pending update and it won’t apply due to low battery. Then finding your charge % is worth it. |

Since the dealer updated mine when it was in for service to 11/2021.40 after it had never done one since new, was on and early 2020 version I noticed last night that a message was in notifications about updating apps ... never seen this before so maybe it has fixed my issue of not updating..

They also suggested tuning the radio to a national carrier, which supposedly narrows the waveband that the car is tuned to for listening out for update notifications too. They did acknowledge it sounds like something wacky but apparently it was there in the case notes. HTH |

I'm in the US, but by national carrier do you mean an FM station? |
