X5 now successfully updated but what a bloody faff it was. Surely BMW could come up with an easier way.
I ended up connecting my phone because whatever device I tried to connect to the iDrive it just wouldn't connect to WiFi. Is it supposed to connect to the iDrive WiFi or your home WiFi?
In the end I had to connect using my 5G mobile data ( UK members will know what I mean ) it took a 24 mile round trip to fully transfer the update from my phone to the car. After that it was a doddle to install it, I got a notification after around 15 minutes to say the latest version had been successfully installed.
The only changes I've noticed up to now are, although I've not driven the car yet, are...
The heater/fans were unsynced and I had to reset and save the steering wheel position.
