New apps pushed via software update

07-05-2019, 04:10 PM

I believe you need 03.2019.x firmware as a pre-req to get the apps but doesn't guarantee you will get them immediately. The 03.2109 release notes call them out explicitly.

Anyone on 11.2018 have the 3 apps?

I'm week 49 with version 2019-03-45 still waiting to get apps. Would like to be to get my ventilated to come automatically like our X3.

Yes, January build, currently on 03/2019.60 and have the apps.[/QUOTE]
so I'm also a Jan build on 03/2019.60 and don't have them. I don't think there's a method to the madness. I wonder if there's a way to force the apps to download

03/2019.48 and have them. If this mirrors software development, it may be that a 03/2019 variant introduced the needed APIs to enable these three apps. Just a guess tho.

As it was discussed already iDrive updates are independent from apps and service updates however you need to have some minimum iDrive version in order to be able to download and install it (don't remember which version). What's also important that earlier builds don't have those apps no matter what iDrive software you have - somebody even posted a screenshot of email from BMW explaining it. As they say it will be eventually available with major iDrive update (which I would expect some time in August)
