March 2020 Software Update
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com But here is the question. Has anyone noted any new features the updates provide? I was expecting the update from last November but the car says it was new last month. The only thing I've noticed so far is I can set the steering wheel to heat automatically at whatever temperature I set it at. Previously it only turned on the heated seats but not the steering wheel. So if anyone has had the November or March update and knows of any new features... I'd appreciate knowing. Thanks! |

All of this testing and hassle for a product that folks' lives depend on. Thank god I'm not in charge of that, but if I were, I'd do it the BMW way, not the Tesla way. |

It's pretty sad and quite frustrating, The connecteddrive and iDrive in general has been nothing but a mess, full of glitches and inconsistencies, you can't rely on it what's so ever.. yet they also can't get OTA updates working... makes me so mad

I have an iPhone 11 Pro and apparently there were issues with that phone connecting to the app.
When you mentioned the March 2020 update and took it to the dealer and had an open ticket with BMW Corporate and they were able to finally fix the issues. So now it's all up and running. |

Just got my March 2020 software loaded this week. Just got the car back. I was playing around with some things and have not noticed any changes. So if I see anything I will let the group know. I plan on going through it more tonight. Def have to do the steering wheel however it no longer winter. Oh well maybe next year.

Looks like someone works in software development or product management.

I'm on version 7/2019.55 and my car was delivered early November.
So far I haven't had any major issues so I really don't want to rock the boat with convincing the dealer to do an update and cause potential issues. Only thing I'm missing is Spotify which I really would like. I already coded auto heated steering wheel and my car came from the factory with the assisted driving view. The app so far has been pretty decent. I use it to start the car all the time and I've only had it not work a handful of times. The only other problem with the app is that on my previous Samsung S10+ I was able to use it as a digital key, however with my newer S20 Ultra the digital key is not supported apparently. I'm holding out for the 7/2020 version where hopefully we will get Android Auto.

BMW has confirmed that cars with iDrive 7.0 and apple carplay active (I think it's called connected services now) will get the OTA update

If it's the one involving updating the apps and resetting, I tried a bunch and I think the consensus was you needed at least 11/2019 for that to work.

Hi,
I have just had my G20 320D updated with software 03 / 2020.40, and now I see that my cornering lights are always on when headlights low beam are on. I have the headlights with extended features (not laser and not the standard LED). Anyone noticed same issue? |
