Hi Jay,
Since you work for a BMW dealer, do you know when BMW is going to update their build/configuration site to the 2020 X5? As I write this, its still showing 2019.
Thanks,
Marty

Any idea if and when it will be available for us mortals via an OTA update? Cool feature to be able to do those, but I've never had the opportunity... 😡

BMWNA typically updates during the first month of production. Could be later in August.

New function of parking brake, but I cannot confirm this item in menu, probably get some problem in this SW version. Previously, this item was not.

Awesome! Are we expecting all current X5's to receive this update over the air?

Jay I saw all those nice features too. And combined with iOS 12.4 CarPlay is much more stable.

Unfortunately the update seems to have disabled a few things on my car:
-lane change warning (seems the camera doesn’t pick up the lane anymore)
-cross traffic is disabled when it says enabled
-auto high beams are disabled...it says I have to buy it in the store.

Have a return visit scheduled later this week so we’ll see if they’re easy fixes.

Someone got hold of the official release notes before - has anyone seen them for this update?

My delivery is scheduled for tomorrow (07/31/2019). If the latest software is loaded on the vehicle, should I even accept delivery given those reported new issues, but they seem to be just software bugs? Are there any ways to test lane change warning and auto high beams without taking a drive of the vehicle? I don't think I have the package for cross traffic--I believe it's not a standard feature. Thanks

Yes please post some pics. I'm very interested to see the update. It really feels like BMW is leaving a lot on the table by not making their live cockpit more customizable (ie Merc/Audi).

We should also have the option of getting regular circular speedo/tach dials. Alas, I dream.

Hopped in my car this AM - randomly decided to check for a software update... Confronted by this message when navigating to the check for update screen:

Carplay does seem to connect consistently now. Upgraded to iOS 12.4 also.

I can confirm the same new colorful icons on the app screen and one not shown "Climate Control Rules". I would expect this enables the rules to be made to turn on seat heaters/steering wheel depending on temp, etc. However, it just eternally says "...loading" after you click/touch it.

It looks like they've ditched Parknow for ParkMobile app. Caring car and Experience are new icons as well, but I really don't understand what they do.

As far as bugs, I now think my front PDC is not working properly or at all. I got within 12 inches of my garage door and the camera did not come on nor did any alerts sound. I turned on the camera manually and It was at the yellow stage, but still no audible alerts. Be careful approaching things.

Door open message was on the dash, but I was reversing down my driveway. It turned out it was not fully closed, but previously that would've resulted in the car being thrown into park and angry alerts from the car about securing the car from rolling. I hope that is a new feature because sometimes it is easier to move the car a smidge without having to close the door.
