G20 - Over-the-Air (OTA) Update Expectations?
So with the latest generation having the benefit of over-the-air (OTA) updates, what types of things can we expect updates for from BMW? Will they keep it fresh, and introduce things like gauge-cluster modifications? Maybe a reconsideration of the map being the only item you can have central in the display? Added features within iDrive 7.0? Additional Turn signal options (maybe a 5-blink option)? Not sure an OTA engine remap is possible outside of the electrified car-world, but hey - a guy could dream.
It's unclear to me, as an owner, what we should expect, any thoughts from anyone on this? Or just share your hopes for what you would most-love to see out of an OTA Update? |

I do expect at some point they'll offer some paid window dressing through the Connected Drive store. Maybe dash themes, for instance. Enjoy what you've got, especially your car. IDrive is hopefully a very small reason why you drive a BMW.

My guess something like that would be via OTA updates

This version of iDrive was designed with upgrades in mind so do expect new things to be available later on such as the drive recorder options, new apps, etc.

There is a big thread in the Electronics forum w/ quite a few new M340 owners talking about problems connecting and/or staying connected. We are taking delivery of ours next month and i'm worried about the issues not being resolved.

Give it time with the CarPlay. 😝
Connection issues are common. I went a week and thought it was a miracle. Today it broke the streak. I will say that I installed iOS 13 beta 2 a week ago and it has been BETTER since. Don't know if that is correlated with it (I'm on a iPhone XS.) |
