Remote Software Update

I got a message on my ConnectedDrive drive app today saying it was ready, so I figured I'd do it since I was home.

It was straight forward, took about 30 minutes. The lights around my idrive controller were flashing during some parts which was weird. My apps all came back but I was hoping caring car and climate would be there but they're not.

I did have to unpair my iPhone and re-pair it to make CarPlay work again and oddly reset my home screen and valet mode to not come up on exit. Pretty easy though.

Been on 03/2019.48 for almost a month now. No remote software upgrade has become available for our car...and still no options for Experience Modes, Caring Car, and Climate Control Rules.

Maybe they are testing it out with a handful of cars to see the experience and if any glitches come up before they release it to everyone and have their servers crash or even worst car systems crash and then have everyone run to the dealership and then have their genius hotline blow up, etc. etc.

I wish I had this option though. i am on .48 for the last 3 weeks now.

Mine came through on my ConnectedDrive app. Last week I was playing around in there and clicked check for upgrades which turned up none. Today when I opened the app it immediately gave me a pop up telling me it was ready and to do the rest through the car. The car walked me through everything on that end including s checklist that made me set the parking brake.

I was on an early version (my nov build had to be updated in early Jan with a camera issue) and I know it changed and will check next time I'm in it. Maybe mine got upgraded because my software was so old. :

Am surprised BMW released 03/2019.60 now when the next major release (07/2019.XX) is due in about two weeks from now. What's new in .60 over .48?

Funny you mentioned this. When I got the update notice it had a message that this was "available until July 16". I wondered if i would lose the update because I'm too slow or if there was another newer one coming.

I am in Macau and do not have direct or remote access to my car. However, when I logged onto the BMW Connected Web, OTA upgrades seemed to be listed as something for which I must pay.

Am I reading these images correctly?

Remote Upgrades is a subscription service but four years are included with the vehicle. Look at your home page, you will see that you are subscribed to Remote Software Upgrades.

Interesting update:
Drove my car this morning, checked for updates, none found (in car or on the app).

HOWEVER, I now have the experience mode, caring car and climate control rules available in both the settings, and widget/apps. These are new to my car. Picked up 6/7. IDrive version .44

So somehow, those were added to iDrive. You might want to check your car for them in the coming days.

I'm pretty sure the apps are updated by choosing Update Apps and Services which pulls from the Connected Drive store. This probably also updates automatically in the background.

I suspect the caring car apps etc, have a dependency on any minor point version of 19-03 firmware, as evidenced in the 19-03 release notes.

There are three major software cycles each year - March, July and November - as per BMW practice. G05 started with 11/2018.XX as it's a new model.
