My update came through recently and was asked if I wanted to update the vehicle. Unfortunately I didn’t realise the car couldn’t be driven (or even started) whilst the update was taking place! I didn’t fully read the warning notice which may or may not have mentioned that.

I had gone to pick up my children and had to wait whilst the update finished before we could get going again!

Something to remember for next time then.

Eventually got the software update installed by the dealer this week, this fixed the steering intervention. The dealer installed version 03/2021.57 anyone know the difference between this and 03/2021.50.

To be fair it does actually warn you several times!

I’m sure it does. I wasn’t really paying attention and clicked ‘yes’ to everything.

I’ve learned my lesson. I was panicking as it seemed to take ages for the first 20% and then was quite sporadic as it advanced. Thankfully we were not delayed too much.

Does it not still do the "just kidding" joke? I've been looking forward to that.

No it does not do that now since the update, but still has the hyper drive mode button, that when activated passes a 340i as if it was standing still😂😂

My 320d xDrive has just come back from the dealership after some warranty work and has had the software updated to 07/2021.20.

I have discovered 2 issues.

My iPhone (OS 14.7) is not connecting via the wired USB C port in the armrest. I thought it might be a problem with the USB C to lightning cable, so I bought a new Apple one. It made no difference. The only way I can get the USB connection to be recognised in the Media menu is either to hard restart the iDrive, or to restart the iPhone. Either works, but it's a real pain.

The second is not so much of an issue, but it's unnecessary and annoying and I can't find any way to turn it off. Now, when I receive an incoming phone call, the BMW voice assistant tells me who is calling (provided they are stored in my contacts).

Has anyone else had these problems, or have any suggestions as to how I can resolve them?

The previous version that I had was 11/2020.50 OTA. When I had problems with that, the solution was Reset to factory settings CAR>SETTINGS>GENERAL. It does mean that you have to reconnect phones and redo music and all of the other fiddly stuff, but it worked last time. I may try it over the weekend, but would be grateful for your thoughts first.

I suppose after last time I shouldn't have been surprised that resetting everything cured the USB problem. At least now you can port your profile via the app and a QR code in the vehicle.

You still have to reprogramme shortcut buttons, music/sound/EQ settings, reimport the music hard drive and a few other individual settings.

The annoying announcement of the caller from an incoming call persists, and I still can't figure out how to disable that.

Actually it does (think maybe before I didn't have a front seat passenger) but for some reason it does the countdown really fast which loses the impact. Now my passenger doesn't even have time to start screaming!

If I recall the original posts it's something like "Hey BMW, activate passenger ejector seat".

Edit - found it on YT

Dumb question: how do you check which software version the car is currently running? I've searched all throughout the iDrive menus but I can't find it. US spec if that's relevant. Thanks in advance.

Agreed. Used to do it much more measured now it just rattles through it.

In iDrive. Car, settings, general settings, remote software upgrade, installed version.

Mine was delivered this month with 07/2021.29. Both the car and the app say that no updates are currently available so I guess that's the latest.
