Software update not going to plan...
My X5 is in for a software update today (currently 03/2019.48). I had experienced the following behaviour over the past couple of weeks:
I also asked them to investigate why the emergency brake assist does not work when parking. It will be nice when OTA is enabled and these issues can be addressed on the driveway. This is my second trip to the dealer for software-related issues in 6 months. I had not heard anything since I dropped the vehicle at 8am. It's nearly 4pm now so I text the dealer for an update. Apparently they're struggling with a "point-to-point" diagnostic with BMW Canada. Sounds like I may be walking home later! Last edited by russelldav; 09-20-2019 at 05:38 PM.. |

Most dealers have only a couple ISTA/P programming systems. And for each vehicle it takes 1-2.5 hours, assuming there's no issues. You might be in line behind other cars.

Agreed they might also be waiting for BMW to authorise the update. Mine ran over to the following day when it went in for an update. They were investigating an engine fan failure warning BMW asked them to remove fan and bench test then update software. I followed movement using remote view....car went in and out of workshop at one point sitting outside for 4 hours fealer said waiting for response from BMW. They finally got a slot to get it onto a programming system on the following morning

So I did get it back eventually with 07/2019.53.
The service report is interesting - it shows how many resets I had made of the iDrive, and all the failure messages stored. Apparently the diagnosis is a new head unit however BMW remotely programmed the car and have asked me to monitor it before they go ahead with a head unit swap. The dealer gave me a load of BS saying I had received an "experimental" software version from the engineers. I highly doubt that. I suspect he had just never seen 07/2019.53 before. I can see caring car and the experience modes now, I also noticed the map is always present in the instrument cluster and is larger / more colourful. No sign of the driving assist screens others have shown even when I used the autonomous mode on the highway. Any clue how you trigger that? Also no sign of the pre-ventilation temp settings for the seats or steering wheel in the climate mode. Maybe they will slowly appear as caring car etc. Was not there when I picked it up from the dealer but was when I went out about 3 hours later. |

On a separate note, I did complain about the Cross Traffic Warning and he said he'd look at it. I'm not sure if this software version did anything to correct that. Also, the BT connection is great. So far no issues with the screen either. |

Shame about the Driver Assist only working on 2020s. That must be codeable. |

I'm happy with the software update. No issues. If anything my iPhone connects much faster, the iDrive has been flawless and I now have Experience Modes, Caring Car and Climate Rules. I question if some of the safety features are operational like the Assisted Braking. The only thing that bugs me is I lost the coding and now I can only code using the BimmerCode the Auto Start / Stop. Hoping the developer will update this soon.

sounds like my car, except that was without an update. I hope it gets addressed properly
