Why I am not getting any notification for software update on the phone app or in car? Not that I am eager to update the software...

You got your car at the end of July 2020. Your factory software version is way newer than what is currently (today) out on OTA, particularly in Canada.

I just checked. I am running 03/2020.69.
Curious, what's the latest? 11/2019.70?

OTA in Canada latest is 11/2019.70. Dealers should be getting 11/2020.xx really soon.

Is that what n-1 means? Canadian OTA (2019) is one year behind factory installed version (2020)?

N-1 refers to being one major version behind the current release. It seems that is no longer the strategy with the announcement that 07/2020.xx rolling out and some folks in Europe already have received it.

I read in this thread that after the update ppl can use the trunk button on driver side door arm rest to close trunk? I can't do that with my 03/2020.69

I was using the button the other day. Works perfectly. You might need to code it using the Bimmercode App.

I guess it's a coded option rather than firmware updated feature?

No, it is a standard feature that has been available since the G05 first came out. Perhaps you are not holding it up long enough.

The coding option that is available is to make it a short pull.
