Just wondering what software version the Belgians with a 45e are on ?

Mine is still on 11/2019.70 , and I haven't received any updates in months...

Is this the same for others or am I missing something ?

[lexieke]

I picked up the car on December 22, got 11/2020. Can't check it on my mobile app but 99% sure

Mine is also still on 11/2019.70, I do an update check every time I drive (5 days/week)

UK here.

Had the car since July. Still on 11.2019.
Spoke to BMW who said theres no updates for my vehicle yet.

11.2020 here, installed by the dealership to solve the famous issues with charge speed and sunroof.
did by the way not solve the charge speed issue, and something very strange with the sunroof: It did not solve the issue, had it for weeks after the update. But now since almost 2 months, no more issue, I test it every day.

[Flippy_00]

also still on 11/2019.70
i check at least once a week for an OTA

dealer promised to install the upcoming 03/2021 asap (at the dealership, not OTA) because of sunroof-issue

Something strange with all those versions around. According to the garage I should be on 07/2020. According to my connecteddrive account on internet, I should be on 07/2020. I even get the release notes ! But the car is still on 11/2019 and I have no messages from the apps or the car that upgrades are available.

Why is it car manufacturers are always 15 years behind on IT 😉

7/2020 delivered in January 2021

[bhe]

When I received my car January 2020 installed version was 11/2019.34
End May I received 11/2019.70 OTA and I'm still on that version now.

[Rosso77]

car received in September 2020 with version 03/2020.69
got an update at the dealership to 11/2020.31 because I needed Android Auto + fix for dropping charging current (6A instead of 16A)

[X5 45e]

Got the car 12/2019 with 07/2020.

Updated by the dealer tot 03/2020 in March and 11/2020 in December, never had an OTA of the idrive.

Usually they are one software version behind on delivery. I don't think the difference between 07 and 11 is significant. With the newest version of the car you will could some new features like traffic light assistant and Apple car key.

I did get location based window openging and edrive zones OTA

Probably a stupid question but I presume you did activate OTA in the Idrive options.

[PeterPuitG]

I was upgraded at dealership several times to solve the sunroof issue. Right now I am at 11.2020 i think and they also told me that as soon as the next update is out they will get the car back in to update it.

OTA updates are for smaller updates and the more fundamental ones will be at the dealership. At least, that is what my dealer said. Smaller things are navigation maps, autopilot functionality, ... stuff like that. (his words)

Not sure which part is true which is just him not knowing and saying stuff to keep me from googling it :-)

Yes, I had a first update about 1 month after receiving the car (somewhere in June/July 2020). Since then, nothing...

[jonjo001]

Another resurrection, but just got my 45e back from the dealer and the software has been updated to 03/2021-30. I looked just before going in and there was nothing available OTA, so just wondering if anybody else has this, or knows where there might be release notes?

[Pateeke81]

Mine was also on 2019/09.70 version.
Contacted ConnectedDrive support, they did some stuff remotely from Germany, didn't solve anything.
Went to the dealer to change to summer wheels, they updated me to 2020/11.64 and they did it free of charge as a ticket was opened.

If you are on a 2019 version a dealer visit will be required I'm afraid.

The OTA is one version behind and no one really knows what the schedule is to get an OTA.

So it is very well possible the dealer has an update while you didn't get a notice.

I was update to 03/2020 and 11/2020 by the dealer without having any notice from Idrive either.

[Eu001939]

I tihnk the OTA is just dead.

I remember years ago having the RTTI suddenly not showing information for part of Belgium, and nobody from BMW knew why. Took 2 months until it worked again, and another 2 months later somebody contacted me to say my problem was related to the servers of BMW and should be fixed...yep, it was ....2 months ago !!! And I raised the problem 4 months ago !.

Same here, nobody knows what is happening. Not the dealer, not BMW Belgium and certainly not the Connectdrive support ("Please re-install the app" , "is your app connected to the internet?", suprised they didn't ask me if I was sure I was driving a BMW)

I think they are having a s%&@load of problems with OTA's, and just switched it off and are afraid to tell anyone...

Just raise the question on LinkedIn to BMWGroup and BMW Belux.
They have been posting quite some "look how good we are doing with OTA updates"

The more people that see it the faster they will react... 🤔🤷🏼*♂️

[W0ut]

07/2020 received this via the OTA.

Current release is 20-11....

[bhe]

I contacted "BMW connected" 2 weeks ago, after doing some tests they forwarded my case to Germany where the answer was :
No update available for your car.
Updates depend on brand / type and options.
Update should be available soon.

I'm now on 2019.11 like most Belgium owners that have their 45e some months. And I received that version OTA. I believe it was on 2019.07 from the factory
