Then it required me to turn the motor off, but leave the iDrive on, before going into the remote upgrade menu and beginning the upgrade. I needed: 1. A charged battery 2. Engine Off 3. iDrive On 4. Go to Upgrade menu and start upgrade. The update installed in my garage with me out of the car and turned off the iDrive by itself when it was through. |

However, this time, the system doesn't suggest the installation and only say "I downloaded the update and will tell you when I'm ready to install". How can I check the battery status? According to the manual, there is a check window on the battery but I didn't find it (I found this type of battery https://shop.bmw.be/files/bsk_products_00198_img.jpg). I think that I'll drive for a long time to charge the battery. However, no message about low battery :/ |

I'd say it's 99% certain your battery is too low. |

I swear my MY20 sounds and responds much better. Pops and burbles, but no random fart pops, which is great. I feel like Sport Plus is ok to drive in again at lows speeds...all without looking dumb when the car sharts.

Is it stuck on a black screen with the status bar @ 57%?

Are you parked on an incline/decline now? It's much better to update from the app, and it will transfer while you drive significantly faster than while static. |

Used the battery self charge to get update sorted
Not sure if anyone is still having a problem here, but I think i found a solution. I just found out (almost a year later) that my car hadn't been receiving OTA updates, but also hadn't been telling me (annoying!). I managed to get the 07/2020 download sorted through the app etc, but the car kept showing 'we'll tell you when it's ready to be installed' with nothing else, and no guide on what was happening.
Spoke to Connected Drive team multiple times, one of whom told me to take a long drive, another told to me to update apps and services and another told me to just to wait. I did my research, including a lot of what's been said on here and identified that it was probably a low battery - I like others am a relatively short journey driver, so it's very possible it had worn down. I took a long drive, as I had been suggested to do, but it didn't solve the problem and I couldn't work out why. Then I noticed a post about the regenerative braking system, which prompted me to realise that driving alone wasn't charging the battery and it needed special action. Further research helped me to realise that you can charge the battery by braking, but also by driving at speed, and releasing your foot from the accelerator. Took the car for the same long journey I'd done from the initial C-D call and consciously put the car in charge as I was on the road (it shows you it's charging both in cockpit on mpg setting, and also in the idrive in power flow) as much as I could. The minute I stopped the car and parked, the update kicked in! initially, it still wouldn't install so I guessed I hadn't charged it quite enough so did the same again, and the next time the update went straight through and fully installed. Why C-D team couldn't just highlight that it's probably a battery level issue and you can self charge is beyond me, but anyway, it's worked. |

I have successfully downloaded the latest update but IMO we went backwards than fw.
Heated steering wheel pre heating is now GONE Car won't remember Auto higbeams (it just turns it off every start up) Still no fix drivers side heated seat via remote start (only the passenger side comes on) And whatever they actually updated is no use to me. Android Auto completely sucks on this car to a level where I actually disabled it. Getting tired of re-coding the car after every upgrade which I am sure is BMWs goal. I think I am going to just turn off the OTA updates if I possibly can. Peace.
