iDrive updates don't do any of that. It's just you.

I was due for an update today but BMW didn't have enough techs; Looking forward to AA this Monday.

UPDATE: The SA called this afternoon and said there was no need for an update. I kept pushing by stating the issues that were occurring and was assured the tech would look further tomorrow. They're also changing out the steering wheel trim due to poor fitment/noise.

How did you go about asking for it? Or did they just inform you they would be updating you to 07.2020?

While my car was in getting connected drive sorted, I explained that the screen turned off on me once while driving. Picked up the car this afternoon with 07/20 installed, Android auto etc. Win!

Remote 3D view now 'works' but shows the car at the factory in Germany I believe.. Long way from New Zealand.

Does anybody know why it is taking so long for BMW to roll out the OTA update? It is really disappointing that they talk about OTA updates, release 2020.07 in July and we are still waiting in October for it to arrive. It wouldn't be so bad if you could download it onto a USB and update. but they insist on (non-existent) OTA UPDATES.

they're probably holding off until they know it's stable enough to push out to the masses. The current method of slow release allows for bugs to be worked out.

Tell the SA that the screen turned off while you were driving. That seems to be the go-to line that works (I did the same).

So for me the Android Auto update wasn't coming in thorough OTA.
But I was (Really) having some glitches with my iDrive.
So I went to the dealer and complained about my iDrive glitches, also mentioned that Android Auto was very important to me. Boom, when I got the car back there it was. Now I can keep my phone in the armrest. very happy.
