Did I just get scammed by "upgrading" to software version 7/2021?

-Vanguard- · 12-06-2021, 12:50 AM

Before the software update, my car no matter what, had the ASS button on disable.

Now after the update, I can have ASS disabled, go into M1 or M2 mode, have my fun, go back to comfort mode and ASS is now enabled.

W T F...

Anyone else seeing this with 7/2021?

Did my install get botched or is this a new "feature" BMW put in this software. If so, im going back to my dealer to downgrade.

I had same issue. Try disabling ASS in comfort, turn car off, and turn back.on. ASS should remain disabled like before

I believe ASS function memory default is inactive but you can code it active and it will remember the state when you go back to comfort mode

By default for this update or every update?

I never once coded my car and my ASS always remembered before this update.

The M cars have always had ASS memory as opposed to M50 and 40i.

I believe the X5 M50 also has the ability to adjust/recall the ASS setting. The 40i, since I believe the 2021 MY is not able to be deactivated from factory.

So I normally run my setup with ASS on, but in any case, I'll be glad to test this out as I'm about to run the upgrade later tonight/early tomorrow.

What baseline settings should I code pre-upgrade? Turn off ASS, presumably?

Yes, turn ASS off and see if it remembers the setting after a few restarts.

I have 7/21 update and my ASS is always disabled.

It's remaining off - power cycled it twice as well and it persisted.

Edit - I take this back. Behavior has now changed. After I toggle off my M1/2 preset, it is always now deactivating ASS.

Mine randomly started to save today...out of no where.

Now it stays off with any behavior, M1 toggle, M2 toggle, fresh start, etc...

So, so strange.

Boy, maybe I should be glad my car hasn't received the 07/2021 update.
I've read where people who do have it also haven't really noticed any improvements in ID7.

DG-X5 · 12-07-2021, 02:32 PM

Here's something new (or at least I'm only just noticing it). M2, and only M2, now has an option for a double press to confirm and switch into 4WDS mode.

This new?

Edit: nvm - realized the update just changed my M defaults. Wtf - who changes the DSC default to MDM… definitely was DSC on pre-update.

Yeah, it changed the defaults and I forgot what my old presets were lol

In my case, as in all previous updates, all options I had coded reverted to factory defaults.

Re-coded all with Bimmercode, no hassle.
