OTA update to 11/2019.70

I was just pushed my first OTA update. The update process was simple and I had no issues.

My car was upgraded to 11/2019.70 from 11/2019.40.

Does anyone know where I can find a detailed set of release notes to see what has been fixed or added?

Everything was really stable beforehand and still is. I'm curious about what has been updated.

No. I am in Australia. I have heard other USA owners get the same OTA version though. I think they push these out in batches so as not to overload BMW systems.

I had a similar problem, and in my case it was the battery not being fully charged.

This makes sense as I also believe that could be the reason my Stop start has also stopped working

Asterix I expected that to happen on any update anyway (that's why I made a list of all settings changed)
Have you tried coding everything back? Any issues?

@G20.rjm,

Returning to your original question, here's the way BMW sets up software updates as best I understand it.

They release major updates in March, July & November; additionally, minor updates are made & are shown by the numbers after decimal. Minor updates are kind of "tweaks & bug fixes", while major add or fix functions -- if you go to BMW portal, there's release notes for major updates (at least in North America). So my car has software version 07/2019.70 -- major update of July 2019 with minor update 70. Unfortunately, since I'm in US, it was done by dealer & not OTA

BTW, as I anxiously read the press release (I have Android phone), BMW will FINALLY provide Android Auto this July -- so I am awaiting version 07/2020.

Hope that helps!

I haven't noticed much difference from 11/2019. Mine seemed pretty stable. Maybe I'll have to drive more to notice more.

The only change or improvement I have noticed is that the "Hey BMW" commands seem to be a lot quicker to respond, and you can speak a little more naturally now. It wasn't bad before but the pauses have been reduced.
