Thank you for the suggestion! I'm hoping this "workaround" continues to work!

Now if I could just get the BMW Care and Experience modes to show up.

A couple of responses to this.

1. I have problems with CarPlay even when mine is the only phone in the vicinity.

2. Can someone point me to the Care and Experience modes? What are they, where would I find them in iDrive, and why would I want them?

I don't have any CarPlay issues. I have 03/2019.45 and Caring Car and Experience Modes are missing. They are aware of the issue and we should be receiving an OTA shortly that will add these features.

You should see experience mode and caring car under car menu. Climate control rules underA/C menu. I see connected command in the app but don't know why it's show blue sedan for driving guidance.

Excellent. Thanks for the pics! I have the same software version but none of those options in iDrive.

Also, I never knew those options existed in ConnectedDrive App. I'm wondering if that is a US thing versus a Canadian thing.

Really appreciate the info. This was the first time I'm seeing these feature pics posted. Thanks!

Lol. I didn't see who posted it. Damn! I don't have it.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the App and I don't get any of those features. O also get this every time I go into selecting the X5. Yet my account does have ConnectedDrive +.

I've just seen now the message to update came when stopping the car. It says it'll take about 20 minutes to be installed. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to do it now but will do it later on this evening.

You'll be notified when this is ready for installation". Is this an automated process while the car is in park mode or will I have to go to a dealer for the job? Thanks

Just out of curiosity do ou have the Experience Modes?

Is there any info anywhere on what experience mode is?

Well, it went OK. Funny noises while updating but it came back to life after about 30 minutes. Can't seem to get it to work for the connected drive app in the car thus lost the weather widget or the ability to add it to the home screen. The rest seem to be OK. Night vision did not work from the start but I drove for a few km and it came back as well. No extra features from what I could see.
