Whoooahh! That IS the major feature! Can we have a second+ confirmation from anyone else in US or Canada, please.

We need details. Did it work on previous version and what was that version? What version are you on now that it's working? Are you sure you mean the specific problem we're discussing, where in US, Canada and a few other countries the camera does not automatically switch to front camera and remains on rear camera when you specifically move transmission from R to D?
I was on 07/2020.24 and upgraded to .54 OTA. Yes it works as you described.

I coded the auto camera previously, and noticed it's still working after the OTA update. Other than anti dazzle all other coding was wiped as usual.
No clue why this happened if it's not a fix in the update, which seems unlikely since it's not working for all on the update.

And actually, I think the ASS coding stayed in place also.

Sounds like ACSM ECU was not upgraded with this i-step. Would explain why that specific coding persisted.

Might also partly explain why RayoVac coding started working with this update. It wasn't that the camera coding changed with the upgrade, but the existing user custom coding started working, due to some voodoo.

My CarPlay stopped working the other day. I can access Siri (e.g. ask her to play music, etc) but if I click on the CarPlay logo on the screen or click my phone or music from the BMW Home Screen, it doesn’t flip to the CarPlay screen.

I’ve disconnected my phone & reconnected it, and its still having the problem. Anyone encounter the same thing? I’ve tried googling but can’t seem to find the fix.

Have you tried rebooting iDrive? I have not heard of the problem you are describing but hopefully it fixes it.

I keep checking for a new update using the Remote Software Upgrade screen in the X5 but after about 1 minute of searching, I get the message that no update is available. I use the Weather and News apps to make sure there is a connection to the internet but no luck on the software update.

I check the phone app as well. The phone app doesn't really seem to be checking anything.

Perhaps one needs to be on a 07/xxxx.xx version in order to get the OTA upgrade.
I'm on this exact version, I haven't heard of anyone with this version getting an update yet. I'll be curious if you do eventually. Mine is a 2019 G20 tho.

I'm on 11/2019.70 and haven't received anything.
I don't think it has anything to do with versions, country, etc. It looks more like they offer the update to a certain number of random vin's every day, so it's just a waiting game.

I just dropped off my car at the dealership to upgrade iDrive to the latest version whatever that may be. I really don't think anyone in the USA with iDrive before v.07 will be able to get the OTA update, but please post if I am wrong about that. It is probably different in other regions. OTA updates are a relatively new thing in the USA butI believe they have been happening in Europe going back to the 2019 model year. I don't know why BMW was unable to roll it out sooner in the USA.

OTAs were only introduced with iDrive 7 no matter where you were located. As far as specific versions of iDrive 7 are concerned, they are all able to get the OTAs and we have had folks running anything from 03/2019.xx to 07/2020.xx receive them.

I live in New Hampshire, USA...I got an OTA update to mine last week. SO, yes, at least some vehicles in the USA are getting updates.

Thanks. What version were you on when you received the OTA update? If it was before 07/ then there is hope that the OTA method will be an option for my 03/ version.

OTAs are definitely available for your version. When they will get sent to your vehicle is another question.

It was a July build, but an earlier one (I think it was .32).

My update was downloaded to the vehicle (not via app) and has been waiting to be installed for almost a fortnight, is there anything I can do to start the installation? It says it will start automatically.

Once the full software is in the vehicle, the menu on mine said to ensure the vehicle is parked outside where it is accessible, and do not exit and lock the vehicle until the start timer has expired. If I remember, there was a selection to tell it to start now. The actual update process from that point takes some time, and the vehicle is not driveable. The suggestion to have it outside is if there's an issue, to likely have a cellular connection, and easy access, should there be a glitch and someone needs to look at the vehicle rather than being trapped inside a garage where you might not even be able to put it into neutral to tow it out.

I have downloaded on the Connected app but the car seems to want to do OTA anyway. Taking forever. Got to 40% but restarted and now at 19%.

Is there anyway to download via USB to get it done faster?

Nope, just drive around like normal and it will be transferred to the vehicle over time. Once it is done you will get notified that it is ready to install.
