Mine updated last night around 2am on my way back from Florida. I didn’t see it start, just saw the notice that the update was completed.

I was really asking if everyone here got an update for their chosen region. That would mean that I could then update all the regions I will be driving through in May.

In the meantime, I have not been able to drive the G05 due to a trip to Chile and now landing in DC.

Never got update notification.

What is the latest Map version you guys have? I picked up my car in two weeks ago here in Canada and my map version is "Road Map NORTH AMERICA LIVE 2018-4 111031826.3.02".

Is there any way to manually update it?

I got one this morning, the version is 2019-2 (should be at the end of the map description) but Canada could be different. When you are on the map, go to Settings and Update is an option. Clicking on that should give you the version.

1) Does the map update over the car connected via LTE or WiFi?
2) Is there even an option to connect the car to WiFi?
3) And if it's not via WiFi, does your X5 need some sort of data subscription?

It uses the vehicle's cell connection. The Map Update is a subscription service of ConnectedDrive. Four years come with the vehicle.

Some press outlets have written that the X54 can be connected to your home's WiFi for updates but I have heard that it can actually be done.

That is to download the yet-to-be-available OTA software updates, not map updates.

But the car doesn't connect to the wifi, you download the app on your phone using your home's wifi, then you upload the update from the app to the car.

I know we can use USB to upload the map to the car.

But how to download the map on phone? Do you guys have the download link?

Yes, those were the updates I was referring to. I know how the OTA's should work as laid out in the manual but some press outlets made it sounds like the X5 would connect to your home's WiFi. Probably just editing or misunderstandings at the press event. For example:

"To keep all that software fresh, a new-to-BMW Remote Software Upgrade functionality allows over-the-air updates, either by connecting to your home Wi-Fi network or through the X5's built-in internet connection."

Finally found a secret link for Canadian ConnectedDrive portal who missed Map Update option.

Got a map update notification in Canada this morning. 2019-2. And miracles will never cease: the voice now speaks at least one of the major streets here by name, not the RR number! Can I have a hallelujah?!

Update: hold your rejoicings and hallelujahs, spoke too soon. ONE spot on ONE street was fixed, others are still numbers. If the fix for this issue is going to require a manual update of all the Canadian streets in the map data, that will NEVER get done. Another BMW idiocy continues.

Connected Drive portal, but I don't believe NA customers have access. For iDrive6 NA customers were stuck waiting for OTA. Or get the full map (not just your region) from a 3rd party.

Mine just notified me that it updated. No action on my part - no download, no update request, no menu selection. Just a popup announcement that the update was complete.

Yes, I have the same prompt. I'm guessing somehow the updates are not taking effect. I've had login problems with Connected Drive, I wonder if this is why.

For me, it's probably an easy fix, I'm going to confirm my login with th my SA and go from there. I've just been too lazy to do so.

I, again, need OTA map updates for travel through 6-7 states, but the latest version is my home region only.
I went to the BMW CD and selected one of my primary driving regions (for Sept) a few weeks ago, but no new download has come through as shown in the image below.

Are others still getting OTA map updates for their home region? See image below where I currently checked AL, GA, FL and it does not even show up inside the car.

No need to do anything to update the maps for other regions. Just like last time they will automatically download once you are on the region for x hours.

I was in MO last week for 5 days and that map did not update. Was that an exception?
