But now some days it will work, others it will mute and after a few seconds the sound will resume by itself

Not sure what the cause is, I've tested it with hand gesture and also pushing the volume knob in (usually when coming to a drive through I mute so they can hear me) it's super annoying now because even when I push in the volume knob.. it turns back on at the original volume with me doing nothing else.

I'm usually alone in the car or if i'm with passengers, i'll have the volume set pretty low anyway. I've yet to experience any problems with the mute, I have only ever had it muted for 30 seconds or a couple of minutes.

Maybe you should try listening to music with iDrive instead of Carplay and then see if the mute/unmute issue gets any better

Funny how a day changes things... now all today it was working 100% as expected with zero issues.

I could mute, it stayed muted, and resume when I wanted.

I did try futzing with the iDrive for playing music and such, but it's just not as good imho as carplay integration using spotify.

If it happens again I'll have to try iDrive and see if that at least works, I have a feeling it's a phone thing mixed with a car thing, almost like the signal to 'mute/pause' coming from the car doesn't reach the phone (playing spotify) ... because the car mutes but I can still see the track timer running up and after a few seconds it unmutes itself again

I had also driven it for about 15 miles so then engine and all the fluids and presumably the battery and all that were fully charged.
Mine took forever, similar to yours. Then after a week or so it just said it was ready. It may be a battery level thing: this pandemic has me using the car only for short trips.
Still waiting and like you car hardly being used at present....

I think I've also noticed that if you kick-to-close the trunk, you can walk away with the key fob in your pocket before the tailgate closes all the way. previously it wouldn't lock via proximity if you walked off while it was like 80% closed.

But I just went to get something out of the tailgate, kicked to close and started walking away immediately, since I dont really care if the car locks itself while its in the garage anyway, and it still beeped.

I really hope so this comes soon.. my G05 is stuck up with 07/2019.xx version, and it says no software updates available when i try to check through the idrive.
last week I left the car for servicing and mentioned to the dealer to update it to the latest version is I often face airplay connection issues and he said they left it overnight and updated it, the next day i pick the car and check it and still the same version.

I really hope to get lucky to get the update... until then

I don't think it is a matter of luck.

If your dealer said he updated your car but clearly didn't because you have the same version he is obviously lying to you. Or he should have said sorry I don't have an update, it wasn't updated. Maybe others forum members from the Middle East can share their software versions for you to compare.

The OTA updates can be delayed. Lots of forum members are still waiting.

No update available stands for no update available for you but it is for others with the same idrive version. They seem to release it gradually.

I see you are located in the UAE. Do you have normal connected drive functionality? I wonder if you can get OTA update. Did you check this?

did everyone else also lose the tach display thing showing up on the HUD in sport/sport+ mode since the OTA update?

I checked the iDrive menu settings and the checkbox has a tick in it for it to be enabled but I cant get it to show up on the windshield

I felt too the dealer was clearly lying, unless maybe if it is possible for the dealers to update only a part of the software because i had mainly complained about the maps and CarPlay.

i checked again my software version and i am on 11/2019.55 (correction from my previous post).

My connected drive seems to work fine, but only when logged on from the browser because there is no connected drive app on the UAE apple store , not sure about android though.

Maybe you can make a US or UK account and download like that? I have done that with Apple movies but not with apps.

The software update is for everything except maps. So only addressing CarPlay is not possible.

You can also check your map version in the car. You should be able to download the latest maps with the connected drive web page on a computer.

Not all dealers have the latest SW version. But 1 year old is very old.

Latest as reported on the forum as factory or dealer-installed is at least S18A-21-03-525. There may be later available, need to check latest psdzdata. OTA is still on 20-11, of course.

Yes, many folks have gotten the 2020 updates. You are the first I remember seeing that is still on 2019 and is looking to update. Hopefully your dealer updates you.

Hi all. Just trying to get a feel for how many people are still at 07/20.54. I'm in the UK and still on 07/20.54 and showing no update available. Is there anything that can be done to 'encourage' an update? Heard chat about battery charge and driver profile issues???

Hi my UK X5 is 5 months old and also on 07/20, with no update available. Looks like it's just a waiting game.

Mine is on that same firmware update...the database contains a long list of each module that's in the vehicle...unlike say a Windows update where it tends to work with lots of unique versions...it appears that an update for a BMW requires a bit more customization to the specific vehicle's contents, and depending on whether there's a safety issue or just a convenience update MIGHT prioritize which vehicles and when they get an update.

The policy might vary by region, but in the USA, BMW won't just update software in a vehicle in for service unless a problem was discovered and the problem code triggers BMW to reprogram the vehicle. Eventually, we're all likely to get more updates.
