Which coding app do you use? And have you coded this feature before? I'm using BimmerCode and would like to have that feature as well.

Just checked it's just for driver sadly enough. Does yours work at all?
yes my ventilated seat always comes on when I start the car per how I set it up. it's too hot for the heated seat currently.

It’s a very nice feature to have the ventilated and heated seats automatically come on but it’s not working like it should. Anyone else experiencing this?

So far happy with the new software, will see if it resolves issues over time as most of my issues were a bit intermittent. Took them 2 tries to program, CAFD camera shows failed programming but they followed another SIB and programmed again and was successful it says.

Most notable is the better map detail in the instrument cluster and auto lane change in assisted driving mode is much better just put the signal on and it goes and doesn't over shoot anymore, before I had to hold down for 3 blinks then let go before it would go and it would go in pretty steep and then have to come back to center. Also general auto driving seems a little more natural.

Would like to test auto braking in reverse but otherwise all better so far, waiting for climate rules to show up also.

I was very early software previously, still original week 49 build, had 2018.11.43 or 47.

Got the 7/2019.53 update applied to our X5 yesterday. We were previously running a March release and my dealer had previously advised holding off on other updates because they were experiencing frequent issue.

With yesterday’s update, I was hoping that most if not all of the myriad problems we have been having with iDrive and electronics in the car since we got it in November would finally be corrected.

It is too early to tell about other issues (like functions disappearing, B.C. Button not working, etc) but I can definitively report that, at least in our car, the usability of iOS devices for music playback outside of CarPlay has gone from buggy and annoying to basically wholly non-functional.

Previously, using the second-to-latest generation iPod Touch, the scroll wheel browsing did not work “Please wait...” (forever) and the device would randomly be set to repeat by the car for a start cycle. it was necessary to either physically toggle it off on the device, or wait until the next time you were in the car when it possibly returned to normal.

We also tried using an iPod Classic with the same library. That would work properly for a bit—you could browse with the scroll wheel, etc. But, eventually it would just stop being picked up by the car entirely.

(Using a thumb drive didn’t work, either, as the car only saw some of the music despite everything being there and visible when plugged into other cars and devices)

Fast forward to yesterday’s update:

Now it usually just won’t see the device at all, for either of them. It either says “No Audio files” or just does nothing. Unplugging the device and plugging it back in eventually causes it to be picked up by the car, until it stops working again while driving or the next time you start the car. This is consistent for both the iPod Touch and iPod Classic. Scroll works on the Classic (when it is being picked up by the car). It still does not work on the Touch.

So, playing back music from iOS devices outside of CarPlay has gone from being buggy and annoying to being pretty much not possible. Great work!

Anyone else seeing this?

Why can’t BMW make something that works perfectly in my 2018 540 and in pretty much every other car I’ve owned or been in work in this car?!

Sorry you are having trouble, I've been very pleased with the update so far with the exception of having to re-enter some settings.

I had hoped for a miracle with this .53 update but for me it has caused problems with features that just don’t work consistently enough for me which is kinda ruining my experience. I was also hoping .53 would fix the credit card popping up on my iPhone when I place it on the charging tray but it hasn’t. I’m going to wait another day or 2 before I make an appointment. I do want to say tho the X5 drives amazingly it’s just these add ons in the car that are ruining it. I want to include the so called app that’s not very reliable either. It’s killing the whole experience for me.

Those are pushed out during an Apps and Services update, if the pattern holds true you will see them within the next few days.

iPod Touch with iOS 12/4 and 07/2019.53 problems

My iPod Touch connected through centre console USB C was flaky with prior s/w release (03/2019.36?) but now with 07/2019.53 its unusable. iDrive constantly keeps losing connection to iPod while driving and stops in mid song and it will reconnect in about a minute and resumes song.

I have 50K+ songs on it and only about 70% show up in the list and more often than not, list does not populate at all and just says "please wait" forever...

Why can't BMW get 10+ year old tech right? Our 2017 Chrysler Pacifica has an identical iPod touch and never has a problem.

On the other hand the other features of iDrive all seem to work very well so far.

Has BMW released sw later than .53? If I'm reading it right CPTHALL had his updated to .57. In another thread (IOS13) AshD reported update to .59.

Do the seats come on when you remotely start car? Do you have to buckle the driver seat for it come on like the X3 after you start it?

Unfortunately the seats do not come on when I remotely start the car however your tip on the driver seat being buckled does work. Thank You for sharing that even the BMW Genius couldn’t figure that out.

BMW Genius is like the Apple Genius, they have no idea about anything that isn't super easy

Have the mirrors fold up automatically has to be set in iDrive in the car settings. By default, they don't fold up automatically.

It sounds like something isn't working properly then. The mirrors fold up and the steering wheel moves out of the way in my car when I leave it. You will probably have to have a dealer check it out. There may be some error codes the dealer can readout to see what is going on.
