changes Ive noticed since the update 3 days ago...

1. Map in center of main display has better detail
2. Drive assist no longer disconnects after 5 seconds when stopped. It resumed driving forward after being stopped for over 1 minute.
3. coloured icons for the apps screen.

Why dont BMW supply release notes nstead of leaving us to figure it out?

Only "con" for me so far is that it nukes all the stored seat positions!

It did NOT enable assisted driving view on my car, so I'll have to code it...

Cons - need to code the things again as the update removes all previous coding.

Yes, Same here with no welcome light when you approach the car. So is this a problem or have they changed the design?

Isn't the welcome light something you set up in settings?

With .53 I’m supposed to be able to set the heated seats and ventilated seats to come on at a pre set temp which is a great feature... if it worked for me and it doesn’t. Also with .53 and iPhones newest update iOS 13 I’m still getting the credit card pop up window when I put my iPhone on the charging tray which is a little annoying at this point. I called the service dept and the SA Nick wants me to see the genius I refused to do that.

That feature was added with the version I have, .43 but it's only for the driver sadly. My X3 had it for both driver/passenger, does yours?

The heated seats coming on at a pre set temp is in the Experience Modes under Wellbeing Mode. I got it with .47. You can set the temp you want it to trigger the seat heating and also the degree of heating 1,2 or 3

Another new feature for me coming from 11/2018.57 is the automatic emergency reversing brake. Only problem is it won't let me reverse out of my garage as it thinks I'm about to hit something and slams on the breaks....otherwise a great idea

Beyond what others have said...

- With BimmerCode I only have access to three ECUs now 😢
- I see my speed setpoint on the HUD now (was that always there? Don't remember it)
- I lost CaringCar before the update, but it hasn't come back following the update and I'm showing as subscribed for all services

That's it for now.

I don't know... I hope it's a bug, because the welcome light is a great feature !

Technically, it's been upgraded, therefore they had had to do a hard reboot...

Edit: Since it's dark now, I've approached the car in .53 and the welcoming lights showed up as normal...

Is the forum signature on all posts updated when you update it (ie dynamic), like the avatar? If so, this is bad idea as it will get out of sync with reality quickly. If the signature is static per post, then this is a great idea, but I have my doubts.
