I got an update from dealer yesterday & received v07/2020.45
First off, I was quite impressed how integrated in various iDrive Android Auto is -- Nav, Coms & Media. Google map directions appear in both HUD & instrument cluster. Two things I am very disappointed with: • Still Lack of Email. on my '14 F30 & the '19b5 series loaner I just had, Email showed up in iDrive & can be read aloud • Text messages only in iDrive & not Android Auto Also, Google's voice sometimes sounds a little robotic Am I missing something?

In Taiwan I guess we'll never have OTA ready so I gave up and requested service to upgrade physically . Now AA works good but don't know why there's one time head unit reboot during navigation. HUD still works correctly but just head unit crash and reboot. Fortunately my Samsung S9+'s digital key remain works, a friend's S10 as well. GPS will come from the vehicle antenna so signal is very good, originally was worried about this since my phone got very poor GPS signal inside the car. So far so good. Hope the system can be more stable. Hope the crash issue can be resolved from phone side since upgrade the iDrive is a huge task here and OTA still don't work here.

I booked the car in and reported few issues.
One real one : -BMW Connected app not updating. iDrive hard reset helps for couple of days or so Other two suggested in different thread on this forum : -internal movement detector and the tilt alarm sensor system cannot be deactivated by pressing the lock button on the key twice - when revers gear is selected, sporadically no image is displayed As a result, the car was updated from 07/2019.30 to 07/2020.48 I was expecting them to mention the fact, that I was messing with the software by coding via BimmerCode. They absolutely ignored that. I don't know if they can see it in the system or not. No one said anything about it. Some pics below : |

Not only the volume is low but also losing all music details which sounds blurred. By the way, they don't usually check if you coding anything when doing upgrade. |

Yeah Huawei's don't support wireless android auto unfortunately. I've managed to find a way round it by using an app called speedify but it's just become really buggy now. Only solution is to switch to a Samsung :

BMW only supports AA wirelessly (fairly positive on that anyway)... so you have to wait for the Android 11 update, or get a phone that supports wireless AA on Android 10.

If you have been getting OTA updates, then I would side with them, and you'd have to wait until the 7/2020 updates start rolling out remotely (should start in November), or pay to play.

My 330e got update last weekend by dealer.
Most of AA functions work fine but while driving near the easy pass gate on the highway, the navigator will disappear and restart |

Well, now that my car got software v07/2020.45, I have finally gotten use of Android Auto.
I do like having access to Google Maps since its traffic display seems much more up to date. I still haven't figured out how to use Email however. Has anyone figured that out yet? On my old F30 and on the '19 540 loaner I had while my car was in service, it was straight forward

You can see there are sometimes iDrive crashed but still speedometer and others works fine. This is the regulation they need to separate them. They simply didn't want to take the effort to upgrade your system. This is common in every countries. |

OBD2
Hi friends, do you know if its possible using an OBD2, update the idrive version (from 03/2020 to 07/2020) by myself?
Here in Brazil the dealer doesn't have the update on their systems yet, i saw it myself while the guy opened BMW service software and there was no update available. |

Finally got Android Auto in Sweden as well. Sadly it was done by the dealer and not by OTA.
First thing I notice is that the 330e anticipatory drive does not work with Google Maps nor Waze. Which kind of defeats the purpose of using AA if going on a long drive. |

fkyang ,
I have found having Android Auto very convenient, if for no other reason than easy access to Google Maps -- though as I said earlier, sure wish there was a way to tie in EMail (like I had in '14 F30) I noticed in the pictures you posted that the horizontal tach showed up in your HUD. My HUD tachometer doesn't work in Sport only, but does for All the time. Is that what you had it in?

Tach in sport only works for me on 3/2020.69 however there are multiple reports that it's a bug in 7/2020 where the tach only shows on the HUD if you have it set to show in all modes.
