Haha yeah makes sense. Thought it'd be something like that. I've never seen it any higher than about 22 miles I think so I was baffled to see it even show that figure on the battery. Looked so weird.

But yes, don’t expect any life changing new things. Was kind of hoping they would back port the heating shortcuts from 8.5 ( I could care less about the new Home Screen) , but alas doesn’t seem to be happening. At least the stability of 8 is rock solid for Me these days, from where it was in 2022 night and day |

9 ditches the iDrive controller hence they only seem to be doing that on the front wheel drive platform cars, I guess not to annoy long term BMW owners of 3/5/7 series etc?

Just got this update too. Was hoping we would get the Anti Theft Recorder feature at some point that went into other cars recently but alas no!
Be nice to get a push notification if the car alarm goes off. |

You can request features be added to the app. In the help/about page there's a form to complete. Bit hit and miss, but at least one suggestion I made appeared in the app. (not necessarily related admittedly).
I guess if the hardware in the cars is capable, they'll consider it if enough people ask. I have already suggested push notification if alarm goes off, and if tailgate, door or window is left open for an unusual amount if time as occasionally I open the boot when key is in pocket. But maybe needs a bit more demand to be taken forward.

They are the same interface, but the underlying platform is different: 8.5 is still on intel chips, on bmw's linux distro. 9.0 uses new ARM hardware, and is based off of android automotive. but, as mentioned, doesnt support the idrive controller. the numbers are the way around they are because the android automotive is the new standard platform for all new models, including the idrive X in the neu klasse cars |

So yesterday I visited the second BMW service centre in Glasgow (both Arnold Clark) to be told again that they cannot update my software which is still sitting at 11/2019.39.
Now maybe I'm being really stupid but can somebody clarify that if you can get Apple Carplay then the software should be able to be upgraded to include Android Auto? They asked if there was anything wrong with the current software, which there isn't but just feel it's maybe missing some key improvements and for one minute I don't believe there has been no update for 4 years. So where do I go from here? |

Anyway, perhaps you might get more sense out of an independent. These guys say they can update software https://www.glasgowbmwminispecialists.co.uk/

I just told the dealer that the car was not doing as it should and it needs updating.. They did it for me, mind you had to do it twice before it did it itself, Just say at the end of the day the car is designed to remote update, it is not doing that so you want it fixed. if you pay the annual connected drive package you want what you pay for and the car to work as it should.

Mine dissapeared but I just downloaded it again and when I got the new battery it just installed without issues, (other than removing the small amount of coding I had done).

Just had my 2020 330e in for a service and asked the guys to give the battery a once-over as well, as I suspected this is why I couldn’t update the software.
They came back with the following readings, saying the battery is shot and needs replacing. I don’t have any issues with the battery (car starts up just fine etc) other than the software update. Don’t want to fork out on a new battery just yet, so was wondering if anyone would know if a trickle charger (or anything) would work? |

If you have access to a charger it won't hurt to run it through a reconditioning cycle however having recently loaned my CTEK to a friend with a shot battery it'll only get you so far before it needs replacing completely.
