I also got the notification that I can download and install 07/2020.54.
The strange thing is I asked the dealer to update my car on arrival (which it seems he did) for AA and that is also a feature that I got. So I had the idea I already had that update. But I just checked and I have 07/2020.32: Is it even worth upgrading than or does somebody know what the differences can be ? |

I upgraded yesterday and my previous coding got wiped - no big deal as I can recode but a bit annoying and I don't know if there's a way to make the features sticky for next time.
Things like traffic light assist are maybe 1 step closer, but what I don;t know is how much of the car is upgraded this way. For instance I presume other modules may need to be upgraded at the dealer (I don't want to flash any of the modules myself) as features may also be based on the istep rather than just this update. Am I right in thinking that? |

All the FDL coding will get wiped to factory for the particular istep. The new istep might require a few more code adjustments to get full feature. I think anti dazzle comes to mind. If you saved each cafd file after coding you can easily load those up and recode, but then add any extra tweaks that are necessary. Some things are istep dependent. |

With a main branch update, whether OTA or at the dealer, then the majority of ECU are programmed and recoded, so OTA is all you need. Technically the car isn't coded back to factory - it's coded against your FA (Vehicle Order), which includes your model, country, options, build date, etc. The resultant coding will never resemble the factory configuration. 'Code default' is closer to a factory restore - never do that. Don't use old cafd to restore coding after a major i-step upgrade - the cafd can be entirely different e.g. VIP changed entirely after i-step update 11/2019, and SAS2 changes to SAS3 with i-step 07/2020. There are other incremental changes with i-step updates for other ECUs too. I do recommend restoring ncd in other scenarios though, where an upgrade hasn't been performed. Saves loads of time. Traffic Light Assist won't be enabled on your car by default, unless BMW completely changes the coding (unlikely). Currently, TLA will only be activated on cars with a build date of 11/2020 and newer. |

SAS2 should have been listed with 11/2019 if you have DAP. Try it in diagnostic mode (3 quick press of the start button) before you read ECU. If you don't have DAP/5AU then you probably/almost certainly won't have SAS (some exceptions). |

Cool, so Canada is getting OTA updates to 07/2020.xx simultaneously with most of the rest of the world, unlike the prior one. Mine still wants me to update from current 11/2019.40 to 11/2019.70 for just the last couple of weeks, which I won't do.

Bit of a novice question..... Are these updates incremental? i.e. You need to do 11/2019.70 before you can then do 07/2020.54? Or can you jump from 11/2019.40 straight to 07/2020.54? Just wondered.

I suppose we're about to find out, if only everyone were to carefully always post: - how they got their update: OTA, dealer, self - updated-from version - updated-to version - car build geography - current location geography

I think it only works with navigation set to a destination. Not 100 % sure. But maybe that is the problem? |

Got just the update to 07/2020.54 from Switzerland. However, after download the files to my phone and transfer 1.5 Go to the car, I'm stuck even it's seems to be ready to be installed. I haven't access to the page to validate the install, even with the car parked.
Any ideas ? Thanks |

What I’m also missing and I don’t know if I should get it is the Tesla like view in the instrument cluster (where you can see your car and other cars in lanes) - wasn’t that feature already available in 3/2020? What am I missing? I have fully equipped X5 with all radars, cameras etc. At least I believe I do. |

I have it and it works. I don't know if it was from factory? It had 07/2019 or after the update to 03/2020. I didn't realize that in Europe drive assist functions could be different. I hope they will make it available for you. |
