I will say it would be easy to simply code to have data services trigger a hiding of the upgrade option in the iDrive UI until available. This would be smart as this just generates a ton of bad impressions. But then we don't get the 50%+ customers having that wow experience I described above. Even worse is the damaged credibility when you call into the Connected (so much irony in that name, aye?) service line and get a different reason for outage on each call (I have, between three calls I kept getting entirely different root causes.)

Well in this case I would say that my upgrade option had been quoted out since delivery.
After numerous complaints to the Dealer and communication of them with the factory, they responded that it is not an issue off loading the SW but something that has to do with CDS, hence I would say there is that option in .....less developed markets..

Doesn’t it say a lot about BMW techs that you have to find this stuff out on the internet.

Absolutely!

BMW tell you nothing. It's all a big secret

Best thing about the update... Spotify is back!! And even better than before!

Did an ota update about 3 weeks ago to version 11/2019.70 Would love to get spotify working. The icon is now in the media options but when I click on nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Restart iDrive by pressing volume button for ca 20 Seconds

Hold down the volume button for 70 secs. IDrive will restart twice.

Then try updating the apps. Press the app button (looks like the internet symbol) by the gear stick. Press option and update.

Or do a full reset - remove profile and then reconnect.

Fingers crossed that works.

Tried this, but still can't get working. Do I need to do anything with my phone to get it to connect?

No you don't need to as long as you have the app on screen.
In the meantime you could bluetooth the audio from your phone not a long term solution I.know but something that can tide you over.
