Anyone w/ iDrive/iOS Device options get software update?
There’s an update according to BMW NA that they hope will address “most” of the issues with iPhones and iPods discussed in other threads here.
My dealer is aware of it, too, but told me they had issues with cars they applied it to and advised me to wait. BMW NA now says that has been resolved. My dealer is silent and BMW NA is getting frustrated with them. Anyway...Have others gotten this update and if so, how are things going since? Thanks. |

Sorry, post title should be ISSUES not options.
It does not appear this one is OTA. Both my app and the car say it is up to date when I check for an update. Given the early problems, I can see why they might want these done by a dealer at this point. |

Have you received any notification, within iDrive or otherwise, that alerts to an update being available?

Excellent news..
I have not seen notifications via the app or iDrive. Just checked for updates on iDrive and nothing. Would make my life much easier if OTA. Good 45 minutes to the dealer and updates on my older cars user to take "a few hours" according to dealer. |

You will get notified via the Connected drive app, the update download to your phone and then it is transferred to your car.

There are two kinds of updates: New features/improvements (like turning DAP into DA pro). The other is bug fixes for firmware.
There is no timetable that I am aware of as to when these go live. I do know that the X5 will get free bug fixes for 10 years.

Re: your first sentence. Are you confirming that DA Plus can/will be updated to DA Pro? I took possession of my G05 last week and they couldn't confirm anything about that. Thanks!!

I take it this means no Digital Key for iOS users until this planned event?
