Glad it's all working for you. Mine had been extremely stable at 03/2019.60 so will see what my new update brings.

Are there any other notable changes, enhancements in your version
I haven't noticed any major differences since upgrading from 07/2019.xx apart from ability to purchase the subscription for the drive recorder and that my connected drive app functions now working consistently.

Drive recorder is what I want seeing as though we won't get the assisted drive view on our models

I told the car that "im bored" so it responded with its thing about sport mode. That's fine.

Then I said "I'm tired" and it said "this function is not available".

Why??
Anyone else have this problem

A quick question.
I was watching a Malaysian youtube video with a guy reviewing connected drive.

On his connected drive app on his phone he had a function/icon where he could remotely activate the horn/hooter.

I checked on ours , it does not exist .

Does anybody have this icon? it would be quite useful to find your car in the parking lot for people losing their memory like me

I don't... and I'm fairly sure that it would be illegal to sound a horn in that situation, in most states of Australia anyway.

I just went outside and tested mine:

It told me I needed auto climate to be on. SoI turned that on, tried again, and it switched on the vitalise program for me.

However, it didn't like "I'm sleepy" command. Instead it brought some local businesses in the nav screen.

Also, it doesn't seem to control the moon-roof. That would be neat to have.

Hello
yup "Boot Lady" is back ..
27 days and I'm only 50% fixed but at least driveable
That's good to know firetitanx - do you happen to have ambient lighting and the caring car app? I don't have those so maybe why it doesn't respond appropriately.
If I persist, the virtual assistant insists she's "hard of hearing"

Wonder what clever addresses it suggested? Maybe nearby hotels? 40winks? Beds R Us?.

Have asked the genius several times before about the voice control of the roof - doesn't sound like it's program-capable of it (yet)

I didn’t take notice! That would have been very smart. I would have to take back everything I’ve muttered under my breath about ‘Hey BMW’ so far.

Available and works with the Android App on my M340i in New Zealand. Australia and NZ cars have the same specs, so maybe it's just deleted from the App code in Australia. There are plenty of ways to allow your phone to select Android and Apple App stores in other countries.. just search on YouTube.

It's technically illegal to randomly blast your horn here, but i've never known it to be policed.
I've tested it out sitting in a cafe while watching random folks walk near the car. Rather hilarious...

Boot Lady, please don't try doing what your nickname is in Perth.

There's a habit of putting bodies in the boot here and they are not all good!!

Actually, the remote horn has nothing to do with local laws... back when I had my F30 and I got the connected drive app (it's still the same app), there was a bulletin that BMW Australia issued saying that they are going to disable the function just in our market due to obnoxious customers trying it out and scaring/infuriating bystanders.

Was a weird choice but I guess they never reversed their decision.
