Garage List
Map update downloaded over the air

My car prompted me to update the maps over the air and reboot the navigation today. Pretty good sign for those that were wondering if the over the air updates would ever really work. I know it isn't an iDrive update, but it's something new.

Anyone else get that today?

Nope, I've got nothing. Also, the "Update Map" link on the Connected Drive website has been down for a while now. Anyone else able to access it?

What software version are you guys on?

Is anyone else getting this message when they go to the "Update" setting in the Map on their iDrive?

I do. I've gone to ConnectedDrive but don't see any information or anything to do to initialize it.

Same - I actually managed to select my correct region for the update, despite the cryptic list on the ConnectedDrive website. The region it listed after the update was correct.

Curious, what provider do they use for these updates? AT&T, Verizon, satellite?

How did you select it? On the ConnectedDrive website or in your car's iDrive when it prompts you to update?

I still haven't gotten any notice or message about maps updating.

ConnectedDrive website - although now, it looks like they no longer even list the cryptic map regions - you just get an error message when the page loads. Bad to worse

Wait, so do you have to initiate this map update via iDrive? Or via the website?

But does it only update your chosen region or does it do all of USA? In other words, for those of us driving outside our region do we change the region online and wait for specific OTAs for each region?

When the original thread ran on this subject, I kept changing regions every day or so and there was not an update to any region that I selected.
