Yeah I did stumble across it the other day, I wasn't expecting it to work for me just yet .

It is by far the best I've seen though. JLR was horrendous. You had to log into one site for journeys, one for maps and a third to send destinations to your vehicle. Needless to say although that aspect worked, I never used it.

Seems to be getting worse. Cruise control deactivated on me this morning along with parking sensors and all driving aids. Had to stop and start twice before it recovered. BC function also drops out from time to time.

Getting beyond a joke and have tried contacting BMW Australia but unable to get even an acknowledgement from them.

Would be happy to have my trade back and I regret updating. BMW is usually so good at this stuff but they have dropped the ball badly with the G20s

Any luck with your dealer? I'm hoping a lot of these software related problems will be rectified in due time with software updates. It is always a bit risky getting a new car in its first year. From reading elsewhere on this forum, it sounds like there's going to be some major updates pending, with new features such as dashcam recording and res light recognition (probably at a subscription). Fingers crossed that all the major bugs will be sorted out within a year.

Dealer has been good - not their issue and I think they are as frustrated as owners. Realised it was a risk to buy early but didn't think it would be this bad. I'm sure software update will fix but the problems are worldwide so this is very un-German to release a product is such an ordinary state.

Usually first models have these issues but you're right; I'd have thought that they'd have it sorted by the time they released the G20 considering the G05 has the same idrive platform and it works flawlessly.

I flew back in to Perth today and saw a G20 on rental already at Europcar. Considering mines still in the workshop I hired it and took it home mainly to see if the on board network worked, can safely say nope, dead as door nail like mine.

Idrive 7 on the X5 has the same problems when reading on their forum - granted they are mostly US cars. I'm not sure if Australian G05 X5 models have the same issues we are facing.

Updates on my experience... the car seems to have network connection when it is driven (news and weather work) and also updates app with fuel level and range at the end of the drive. However, I cannot get the car to unlock/lock/flash light with the connected drive app. No big issue for me at this stage but I would like all the features to work as advertised.

Crazy songs

Hey has anyone noticed funny things happening to their media playlists?
All of a sudden, there are duplicates on the hard drive, some songs have disappeared, and graphics don't match the song. So I have a muppets picture stuck to a Pink song and Korean script attached to Adele.
Hmmmm????? What is bmw doing

Patching

So I've been assisting with BMW to push updates to my vehicle remotely over the past week to patch version .60 to test and report back the fixes to Germany. I am happy to report that one by one my issues have been resolved.

This is great news in a step towards pushing it out to everyone else.

Will keep you updated

Interesting, mine has just been with dealer for a week, now have .60, but no email, no traffic, no news, no weather, but Caring Car has loaded. As we all know, text messages just do not work, this is an Apple thing, particularly with iOS12.

So, start using ACP for traffic, text etc. First phone call, the system crashes, phone won't reconnect. Had to turn ACP off, select iDrive, then re-select ACP.

End result is:
when resolved, will get 2 years additional warranty
ACP free for life

If they get it working.

I believe it's not available in Australia , I could be wrong but I just yesterday had my software updated to 11/2019.55 and it didn't introduce the native Spotify app. Would of been a nice touch

That's unfortunate - yes would be an excellent feature given the introduction of these mobile phone cameras...
