I received my car just two weeks ago. The first night it did an OTA update to 07/2020.54.
Now I am waiting to see if 11/2020 comes. Can someone explain to me why it takes so long to search for software upgrades? Today I kicked off that process manually and it has been running for at least 15 minutes. I assumed the process would be like.... car computer prepares and sends a small KB size message to the server including VIN, current software version and maybe some other strings like if there any faults or some secret key. Then the server checks if there is a new version available and maybe runs the random number generator mentioned above. Then sends message back to the car with yes or no and the new version number. That should take less than a minute right? |

when i asked the dealer he said they would do it only if i have a issue with the current version, which was strange to me. i hope to get a notification for the OTA hopefully soon. |

I-STEP LEVEL for G05 takes the form of S18A-yy-mm-5vv where yy=2 digit year of major release, mm=2 digit month (only 03, 07, or 11) of major release, and vv=minor release number within the major release. I don't personally know what the "5" represents. When translated to customer readable form in the car, that looks like mm/yyyy.vv where mm and vv are per above and yyyy=4 digit year matching yy above.

Actually that version is a little ahead of the most recent reported OTA update, which I believe is still the title of this thread. The current available (to ISTA+ programmers and dealers, not OTA) is S18A-20-11-542 and it would read as 11/2020.42 if you ever find that in your iDrive Car/Settings/General Settings/Remote Software Update.

A follow up to my earlier post, my car has been stuck in this mode for weeks now, not sure how to progress the installation.... Any ideas?

A more direct way would be using ISTA+, I guess, but I haven't gotten into that in earnest as I have WAY too many hobbies as it is. Each individual ECU firmware version would not be called "I-STEP", by the way. I-STEP specifically refers to the INTEGRATION bundle.

Mine is the same way and on my last service visit I brought this up to the service advisor. He didn't know so he called a BMW Genius to take a look at it. He was also surprised because he has seen 2020 versions on most other X5s. But he looked at some stuff and said for my car on BMW systems it also shows 11/2019 is the latest one available for the build. I don't know how accurate that assessment is, but it may be that certain model years or builds get updates at different times?

*sigh*
I can't wait for the day that my car says there's a software update. Until then, I will continue thinking that the issue is that my CD account shows "remote software upgrade isn't available for this vehicle" despite saying it's subscribed up above.

I believe everyone's account is like that. It is not a great design but seems to mean it is currently not available for purchase since you are already subscribed.

I think I'm on 03/2019 or something, but I check it pretty often. Hopefully soon then.

I had the same problem and the issue was the level of charge of the battery. Try to drive for an hour in highway or use a charger during a night. It works for me !
