Frustrating how the release notes in the CD portal don't get updated - they still refer to 03/2019 I think.

My long outdated 03/19 notes also got updated to 11/19. I'll have to show this to my dealer during my next visit.

Great find on the release notes. I never saw them before. I got this upgrade (11/2019) a few months ago and I can verify that I was able to add the Drive Recorder through the CD Store. I think I paid $99 for 3 years.

The web portal. Once you pay for it and do an App Update the Drive Recorder will appear.

Yeah. I just got the update to .31 yesterday and had the same problem.

I had to go back in to the gesture settings and assign a gesture to the mute again. Now it works fine.

Incidentally, the 03/2020.31 did not fix the missing passenger "Climate Control Rules".

Additionally, it didn't fix the issue with the puddle lights not coming on when approaching unless you have comfort access set to "Unlock When Approaching". If you have it set to "Lock When Leaving" (but not when approaching) the puddle lights won't come on unless you touch the handle or use the key fob or the app. That defeats the purpose because if you have to touch the handle for the puddle lights to come on you will have most likely already stepped in the puddle.

The car knows when the key gets close to the car because you can hear the car start waking up. That's when the puddle lights should come on as well.

I've been testing the functionality of the 3D View over the past 4 or 5 days. Previously I was lucky to get the 3D View on the Android app to work about 1 out of 50 attempts. Basically, it didn't work.

Since the update to 03/2020.31 it has now worked every time I refresh the 3D View. I've refreshed the 3D View at least twice per day and it's worked every time I've tried it. So it looks like they did fix something.

Now, if they could just get the OTA updates working.

Yes, DR can be purchased and works on Canadian X5s including MY2019.

Probably won't be able to do it for US cars. In the US BMW made you get the executive package to get the DR. So I doubt they would allow you to do it a-la cart after the fact. If they started down that path, that would really anger the people who paid for the executive pack to get certain features they wanted but also having to get other features they didn't want. Maybe BWM would allow it for MY2019 that have the executive pack, but I doubt it.

Yeah - if they ever do, it would be for that top trim. I just wouldn't hold your breath.

ElectroGeek, I'm confused a bit here...so trying to understand, but if you have the Executive Package, you should already have "Drive Recorder" (Option 6DR). It was part of that package...at least for 2020. Maybe you've got a 2019 and it was different then?

I have Exec. Package on my G06. I did have to go in and accept some Privacy stuff in the App to get the initial setup to work and I haven't really played with it, but it seems like it's there as it's in my Apps...I'm curious now, so I'll try to go back and double-check that it's working.
