Anyone else just get back to back updates on their g20? Yesterday I got 7/20 and today 11/20.

havenyoung · 03-25-2021, 11:58 AM

Looks like finally there's widespread rollout of 11/2020.50.
It's just downloaded on my phone.

Yep.... got it into the car. Wouldn’t start install. Charged battery and went for a run still won’t install.....

Only thing I can see (from the manual) that would stop it is that ambient temp has to be above -10C.

Hi,

While on a trip yesterday, got notified of new update; of course, couldn't do it while driving. Today, I installed version 11/2020.50 and noticed:
* Still had climate rules/habit (for both driver seat & steering wheel)
* Nothing on front passenger seat rule
* Did not have M Laptimer App on iDrive
* Automatic camera feature is working fine (not sure whether they fixed it or @ifr fix still stuck)

Haven't seen anything on Alex, but have had Alexa linked to Connected drive for some time -- doesn't do much of anything, anyways. It's still early and haven't driven car anywhere YET

Of course, now have the custom coding to do -- no big deal

More to follow

UPDATE: Just got back from a short run for a couple of errands. Car now has an M Laptimer app, but still no passenger seat climate rule/habit

FURTHER UPDATE: The HUD Tach bug is STILL there; that is to say, after the OTA update, Tach in HUD ONLY works in ALL MODES and not in SPORT ONLY. Additionally, M Laptimer is only for iPhone

NSimoes · 03-28-2021, 09:08 AM

Hi,
Did upgrade to 03/2021.30 on dealership. everything normal and no errors so far. It says that for Portugal and 2 other countries the upgrade had auto Lane Change Assistant but my car is from 06/2019 so i have never had even the Upgraded driver view so none of them on my car still.

Regards

helmet91 · 03-28-2021, 10:09 AM

Is the tach working in the HUD for sport mode?

Did you get the M mode or whatever they're calling that function?

M lap timer app added working for iphone only

NSimoes · 03-28-2021, 12:37 PM

Alright so:
Yes i have the tach in all Modes, sport,conf, eco and in the photo you can see that i can select to see on HUD all the time or only in Sport.
That time lap is the new app added. i don´t care cause im not going to a race track with a 320D plus i have Android.

Considering to buy the Bimmercode to have the assistant driver view knowing that its not possible to get the auto lane change cause Bimmercode does not read the all ECU, lacking the SAS2 module.
Maybe in the future like the Bimmercode boss said.
Very unfair for who bought the car early. BMW classic

Hi guys.

My G21 330i just got updated to the latest 11/2020.50.

However, I was not able to change the default driving mode using bimmercode. It does not show up in the list.

Anyone with the same problem? As expected it erased all my previous coding but this one I was not able to change again.

Thanks.

I've changed the default driving mode using bimmercode couple of weeks ago. Same software version. No problems here.

I will try it again. The option for changing the default driving mode was not even there...

ixxo · 04-04-2021, 09:44 AM

So does it mean they have not managed to fix the HUD bug in 03/2021?? Well then my question would be if they are even aware of this bug... Which was the update which brought us this issue? 03/2020?

Which 2 other countries as mine doesn't have the Lane Change Assistant option?

ixxo · 04-04-2021, 01:27 PM

Portugal, France and Spain do have the Lane change assistant after upgrade (due some legal reasons). But If I'm not mistaken, you would need some newer version of radar components availble in builds after 05/2020 or so.

Does anybody know if the DME (motor and gearbox software) gets also updated with all the new I steps over the air?

It will update any ecu that has changed. Sometimes that will include the DME, sometimes it won't.

Charged again yesterday. Went for a run this morning..... no install. Popped into town this afternoon and when I got home it said it was good to go. Now updated and all good.

It is a bit of a pain that it appears to be really dependant on battery charge status.

RLL RACER · 04-13-2021, 10:49 AM

Hi Heart1432. Here in Madison as well. Small world!! Got a remote software update last week. Also went into the dealer on a recall. Now a new software update has shown up. I assume its to do with Amazon Alexa and the new mobile app. What updates do you have??

RLL RACER · 04-13-2021, 10:56 AM

Got the new my BMW app as a request to download in the play store.. Its Filled with tech bugs.. way worse than the connected drive app thus far. Cannot even login. BMW should have never released this app until they got it straight and ready for U.S.A. customers. Its been in Europe for a year now. Thought that would be plenty of time to get it right.. I guess not!

RoroBoost · 04-28-2021, 10:43 PM

Is anyone aware if the Update flashes the DME to were it doesn't allow to be tuned? I'm looking into a DME flash but I'm concern The update will patch whatever is used to tune the DME
