remote software upgrade Jan2021
Happy new year fam!
I have an issue, received notification of a remote software upgrade and to download via the app, however, I have had this screen below for the past 2 hours. During this time I have restarted the phone. Any ideas on how long I should be seeing this screen? |

seems downloads only occur when the cars battery is fully charged.
try a long drive then download or go thru the threads on this site and search for those posts that talk about battery chargers. |

Android? The bmw connected app, at least the USA version, isn't robust. I had issues with my Galaxy S20 to transfer the software data from phone to car, so I ended up allowing the car to download OTA. Took days though.
In the bmw app go to settings > remote software upgrade and check your wifi/data setting.

I’m not seeing a Jan 2021 OTA upgrade alert either on the Connected App or on the car.

More than likely the July 2020 upgrade just hit his VIN.

Correct.
I was hoping I could get my hands on the new version to fix the faults that have emerged from the previous OTA upgrade (Nov 2020, a couple of months ago). Several functions are not working now, including Rev Counter in Sports mode, RTTI, over sensitive PDC issues, various Connected issues, etc, etc. The current version I have is worse than the version I had in the original build in Jan 2020 (which seemed to work very well indeed).

I have the 7/2020.80 in my 2021 7 series and haven't noticed any glaring issues. And after being a bmw owner for 20+ years I also recognize software "upgrades" are sometimes not upgrades at all. Some issues never get fixed.

The latest version I have seen mentioned for the G20 in this country is 2020.60. I have been led to believe that this could be accessed via the dealership if you whinge enough, but now some people have seen an OTA 2020.60 version being offered through BMW Connected. This version, I have not seen up to now. I have not seen an update being offered on the BMW Connected App or on the car itself. Your version of 2020.80 sounds like it’s much more up-to-date for your 7 series than we are seeing for the G20 in Oz. Perhaps new versions are being rolled out in the US earlier than in Oz.

The phone should indicate the version number it wants to upgrade to. At least my android did for my 7 series. What is production date of your vehicle? That's what determines the factory installed software version.

You can try to uninstall the bmw connected app and reinstall it. See if that helps with your issue. Or check for software upgrade in the iDrive 7 menu. If your car says it's up to date but your phone continued to insist on an upgrade but gets stuck (like the image you posted above) then I suggest calling bmw for help.
