I have the weather widget installed and although it worked previously that was not the case yesterday. That app is notorious for going MIA.

Think it's just another glitch that'll have to be worked out.

Software doesn't seem much better after the update. Still have the Apple Pay issue, CarPlay is buggy AF, and my ConnectedDrive apps are missing. Tried the reboot 3 times. Software update option is now missing.

I have had my car in service for the entire week looking to update from .23 to the .45 firmware.... Seems to be some trouble, as they keep telling me "We have the request into BMW for the software update, but as of yet there is no reply"

Odd thing is... I asked for my car back since we will be traveling for the Holidays and they do not want to give it back to me. Ugh.

I have it on good authority that there is another update coming on or about January 7 that should fix a lot of these issues. They are known to BMW HQ. Hoping this yields improvement.

Mine updated today. Like others, my apps are gone. No traffic/weather. It was fine before hand.

Do you think the new software fix will fix the wrinkles in the back seat? Asking for a friend.

The software I got the other day didn't fix anything, made CarPlay worse, and all apps are gone except BMW Assist and Service Request. I've tried all the known methods and nothing brings them back. Annoyed.

My car doesn't have any network connection. So nothing BMW Assist related works... not even the SOS button.

Any one have a contact at BMW Canada that I could escalate this issue to? My dealership has been useless at resolving. They did less than I did (30 second reset).

took delivery today. software version is .43

New truck has the Apple Pay bug which makes the charge pad 100% useless. Phone's screen is lit up/full bright expecting a payment decision and it does not dim or shut off. This causes the phone to heat up, etc.

Super fucked up that BMW could miss this and launch with that issue. You own an iPhone with Apple Pay enabled (great feature), you can't put the phone on the charge pad. It's useless.

Yes, It will be fixed - yes, the new X5 is amazing... loving it.

Thought I was the only one. Also took delivery on Tuesday and have version 45. It's very annoying.

I picked up the car today. I am finally able to use CarPlay. I have the connected app on my iPhone. Loaded it. Put in my vin. It found it. The last step appears to be to get the message it sends to the car but I don’t babe any messages. I also have no apps at all. Any ideas ?

It appears that BMW has hired the former Adobe Flash programming team. It is amazing that they are struggling with iDrive so much after production started. Then again, iDrive 6 is still buggy and they have given up on that.

I, too, get ApplePay when placing my iPX 12.1.2 in the charging cradle.

However, I can clear ApplePay while in the cradle and get Waze to come up without going to CarPlay. My memory is not reliable on this point, but I think clearing ApplePay did eventually put the iPX asleep if I did not have an active page that then showed up.

I prefer putting my iPX in the cradle - first to charge without extra cables - rather than using a mount since I can get my Apple Music Playlists (without CarPlay).

I have found the iPX does get warm but not hot and wonder what role my Vaja case plays in this scenario.

Was able to update apps this morning and all is well again. Weather, news and traffic are back. It feels as if Sport Plus mode has a more aggressive throttle response.....not sure if it has something to do w the programming update or bc I was driving a 530i loaner

Not sure exactly what the BMW Technology Team in Chicago is doing, however...

The apps?
You have to have "Installed apps" highlighted to see the update option.
