I have an appointment this Saturday to get an update and I don't want to waste time going to the dealer if Android Auto isn't in the earlier 7/2020 releases.

Thanks in advance.
As mentioned above, there is nothing in the settings for either CarPlay (that was removed) or Android Auto. Android Auto is available in this though as shown in the other 07/2020.25 thread.

Tons of screenshots from a Chinese forum on 07/2020.25 update.
It is in Chinese and has a lot of China market exclusive features.
There are some details on Digital Key ver1.5 as well.

CarPlay navigation will be shown in the HUD - wonder if that is any CP nav or just apple maps.

Do you know if CP Nav will be shown in the HUD for existing models also or just for Aug 2020 built cars...

I think the lane keep assist is a lot better with this update.
It kept the lane assist on on the road where it would frequently deactivate. Also I had issue where lane keep assist would falsely turn the handle when joining a merging lane on freeway. I hadnt had that yet.

Another thing I noticed is the bmw assist animation and some additional feature on "left" menu of the navigation. There's new "My Destination" menu I think.

It seems there is some hope for older models to use digital carkey after software update using iPhone.

Apple car play nav shows in the HUD because of the update or because you coded it to? Both Google maps and Apple Maps? Thx!

Because of the update. I do not have any other navigation apps installed but will test when I have time. Perhaps someone else with the new version will chime in.

Oh I see, thanks. I misunderstood what you'd said in your first post I replied to.

In case you missed my post in the other thread, I tested with Google Maps and it does not show in the HUD. When using maps the iDrive map goes away from the IC and the control display and it shows a message that CarPlay is using the navigation.

The Automatic Window app seems to be working fine. I set an activation point on the side of the road right before my mailbox and when I hit that spot my window opens. When I have time I would like to do some more testing to see how accurate the spot is as well as if there is a speed limit on it for opening.

How is the camera switching working when you go from reverse into drive? Is it working again or more of the same?

Just dropped mine to the dealer for my very first oil change (<5K miles) and requested 07/2020.xx for AA support. I was told they started charging ~$200 for iDrive/SW upgrades but my SA will try to be creative to avoid it. Hopefully there will be no surprise bill when I get the car back.

From all reports they don’t plan on changing how the cameras work. Evidently that is how BMWs always have operated except for a short time with the early X5s. That said I really haven’t paid attention to it but assume it didn’t change.

I got 07/2020.25 as well but haven't explored it yet except for the CP/IOS map being available in the HUD. My SA had to make something up to get the upgrade approved and I didn't have to pay.

That’s absolutely crazy they charge to upgrade you to the latest software. It’d be less of an issue if OTA worked.

I may not be clear but I got it for free. Yes, the SA initially mentioned they're charging for the upgrade but he had it approved for free with some made up "complaints" from the customer.

It seems consistent with some reports here that customers must be having issues for the update to be made. It took them 3-4 hours to do the oil change and upgrade so I can understand the justification so they can get paid.

The remote 3D view now shows the color of my car as white instead of silver. I'm not sure if this is only in 07/2020.x release as I have skipped 03/2020.x. My last 3D view in July 11 with the same CD app was with silver color.

That theory is inaccurate. The mentioned broken camera switching method is only such for US designated cars (and a couple of other countries, Canada being taken down by the US designation as well). Almost everywhere else in the world, the camera correctly follows the gear shift as it should.

With @ifr's help, we have successfully coded the US designated cars to work properly on past ISTEPs, but there is unpredictable and unexplained lag of many days after the coding.

For the record, I will literally not allow my car to be updated unless it is known that this specific issue can still be coded to fix on the updated ISTEP. It's the issue that would flip me from answering the "buy again" poll from my current "yes" to a hard "no".
