Why not OTA?

Does anybody know where BMW posts the consolidated release notes? In my CD account I only see the notes specific to my car, 03/2019.35. Kinda messy that they would want to manage the releases by car.

I believe all major versions are denoted by the month they are put out, in this case 03, 07 and 11. All updates for that version will just change the minor version number. ie. 07/2019.xx

Yes, but unless you know your service reps well, you'll need an excuse. ie, my Apple car play doesn't connect or iDrive glitches/freezes while driving. Also, you could mention you want the cornering lights.
Once you say that, they should have no problem updating the car for you. Takes 1.5-3 hours depending on certain circumstances

Well, I took mine to the dealer with some of those excuses...they gave me a loaner for a day then upon pick up they said they found no issues. When I checked the version, there was no change.

Did you not have these or like issues?

Those who frequent this board, often run to their cars and keep a running account of new issues to put on their list.

The issues I mentioned them were intermittent (Carplay connect/disconnect randomly, BC Button sometimes not function)....the report says that they tried to replicate the issue but were not successful every time they did.

I forgot to mention the cornering light issue but probably go again some other time.

I think the OTA feature which BMW advertises must come into play soon. It's them getting billed from the dealers for the software updates they do for us.

If the OTA infrastructure was not ready for implementation, why did they advertise it in the first place? I just wonder if the users in Germany get any OTA updates.

Anyone know if 07.2019.xx versions will come to UK G05s? I’ve still got the March version and a recent key check says this is the latest version.

Sounds like your service people just didn't want to do anything. There have been a few service bulletins issued for the X5 and they will show when they run a key check on your X5. One was for enabling the cornering lights and a few dealing with the battery/power.

Thanks , will try.
Got a firmware upgrade due to recall, but they are not willing to do software update which may cause more trouble per dealer

Oh that's timely, mine is in the shop today to sort the usual list of minor niggles, I'm hoping it doesn't come back with the "we couldn't replicate those faults" story and they have updated to 07/2019.53

Will update you later....

07/2019.53!! Interesting. Could you also please check if .53 is giving you any Assisted Driving View function in the Settings once your car is updated? Thanks.

Just collected. Car updated to 07/2019.47 Synter checked with BMW UK and .53 is not ready for release here yet. The experience and car care apps are present and Spotify is now integrated into Media sources.

I don't have Driving Assistant pro so cannot comment on the display for that.

Spotify integration sounds interesting. Would you please post a couple of pics of where and how that looks.

Well Spotify seems flakey! I went back out to the car to take some photos and the Spotify icon has disappeared. I can get it to show for a few seconds by rebooting the idrive but it quickly goes again.

When it was working it was a similar set up to 0365. Click on the Spotify icon in media menu, click next and a QR code is displayed. Capture that with QR reader and it logs you into your Spotify account allowing you to search albums, tracks, artists etc from the idrive.

Anyone else having problems with Spotify on Android phone not Car Play.?
