Yes only through the dealer and only if you come up with some warranty-related complaints. I had mine updated to 7/2019.55 recently citing that connected drive functions were not working, Bluetooth/Carplay drop off etc.

In my experience, the software is more stable now after the update. This also coincided with Apple iOS 13 - so everything seems to be working much better.

Rumours are that OTA will be available towards the end of the year but you'll need the 7/2019.xx version already onboard to take advantage of it.

Thanks for your help, I'll contact my BMW dealer today.

I hope this resolves my Spotify issue dropping in and out.

Thanks again

Do you have "native" Spotify on your iDrive? Or are you playing through your phone via bluetooth or Apple CarPlay?

The reason I asked is people overseas (Europe) have access to connected music which uses the car's onboard sim to stream music. In my experience with other car makers, it generally has better music quality than playing through bluetooth etc.

The dealership is loading 11/2019.40 at the moment. The OTA version on your screenshot seems to be an older 07/2019.75. But let us know how you go.

Yeah from what I was told by my SA the versions the dealers installed are sort of like beta in regards to OTA updates. 07/2019 is a stable public release that has been pushed OTA, once 11/2019 has proven itself in the wild so to speak that will be pushed OTA as well.
Makes sense, no point pushing new software release to the masses until it's been tested.

We will have to compare notes tonight

There's already a 11/2019.75 that's how quickly they are patching

Yeah all sweet here, the phone download hung itself when it was transferring to my vehicle.
So I downloaded it directly in the vehicle and it worked a treat.
Are you in Aus as well?
