My dealer said they could do the update for $140 even though i mentioned that it includes bugfixes and should be included with warranty work - they stated if nothing is technically wrong its not covered

They are just bring dciks about it. As has been said before you should have mentioned that you were having a software related issue that in itself is no guarantee that they'd install the update but would have made it more likely.

one thing that doesn't really work well is the compass view. It always has the checker flag on the North, regardless of app and destination (in here I was using Waze over Wi-Fi). It just doesn't change.

I leased and requested they update to 7/20 before I picked up. Dont let them tell you otherwise. Say you want to make sure it is most up to date.....and they might be clueless about aa....mine was and said that wouldn't give it to me...but of course it did

I got my car serviced recently and they updated me to Android Auto. Maybe it's my phone but it wasn't the most intuitive to set up but got it done. So when I shut off the car when running Google Play Music through Android Auto, Android Auto will shut off but my cell phone continues to play music right where my car left off. It's pretty annoying. Not sure if it's a setting I activated but I've gone through settings several times. I searched online for fixes but can't see anything definitive. Seems like a known issue.
Otherwise, the map and music apps are a much more seamless integration with the car vs the BMW system. It saves 'favorite' trips/locations I've saved on Google Maps. It'll come in handy for our upcoming road trip. I guess the above is a minor nuisance. |

I called BMW North America and though they knew of the update they couldnt provide any "real" information. They recommended that I call the dealer. The dealer was pretty clueless but to their credit they became educated really quickly. I am sitting there now waiting for them to finish flashing the update. Free of charge.
Terry at Rick Hendrick BMW (Charleston) is a rock star. |

My dealer said my software was up to date. Pure laziness on their part.

OT but if bmw got rid of the silver trim surrounding the gauges, I'd pick that cockpit over live cockpit any day.
