OTA in the USA
When I arrived at my office this morning, I was more than surprised when I saw that an OTA was downloading. The fast download was 936 MB and will give me 11/2019/70. Maybe now I can get DR.
I was going to call my dealer’s manager and complain about no firmware updates so I guess BMW NA decided to intervene! Well, I did actually give poor reviews in the last survey since the service manager failed to address several issues as he left me on 7/2019.55 In any event, I am surely not the only one with such dated firmware so here we go ...

My installation will not be complete until my commute back home today so I will check then about DR. BTW, my weather widget is also not working but that is likely not tied to FW.

I saw several posts that only "release - 1" is pushed to OTA, which may be the right thing to do given at least 2-3 months of data in the field.

Do you know if it is likely my update came because my FW is so old?

My vehicle was finally offered a software upgrade.
Mine is a 2019 50i and had been running on 11/2018.55 since I bought it new in March of 2019. The updated software is 11/2019.70. The data recorder is now available and I enrolled for a free 30 day trial. I took it for a quick spin around the block and it recorded 40 seconds. Does anyone know if this also added the cornering lights? I was unable to tell today. |

Did you follow instructions in the BMW YouTube video to the letter? In other words, did you have to connect to the car's Internet? I think I disabled that feature for reasons not presently in my memory.

Correction (and "confirmed" anecdotally several times by those that have received an OTA update recently): it is -1, but if current is 07/2020.xx, then you'll receive the latest .yy released in the 03/2020.yy series. If current is 03/2020.yy (as it is now at the time of this post), you'll receive 11/2019.zz with latest .zz (which is .70 for G05).

After the software was downloaded it did not automatically update. Instead, I got a message stating that the software was ready and that I would be notified when it was ready to install. I took it for a drive and still no installation until a few minutes later when I turned the vehicle off it prompted me to install the update. Quick update... the cornering lights now work |

Great! My dealer shouldn't have any reason not to upgrade my car. It is technically additional money to BMW.

Others could weigh on this because I wonder if the OTA version differs in any way from the dealer file. Here is a screenshot of this version:

Continuing down this line, perhaps to get the as yet mythical 07/2020 Android Auto update over OTA we may have to wait till December unless we have a service appointment in between for dealer to update? |

But I get where you're coming from...subscribe to something in the store, which will trigger a download/sync/upgrade, which might also trigger the overall SW update. I logged into CD Store and at the moment, there's nothing additional that I could possibly subscribe to. I'll report back if I see something new/different! |
