Are there any other improvements in the software update?
How did you convince the dealer to update for you?
I had some known issues with the previous software such as Control Display and iDrive freezes every now and then and the BC button stops working. Once, mentioned, the dealer advised that these would be resolved with S/W Update.

My X5 40i was dropped off at BMW on Tuesday this week to have a trim replaced and there was apparently a recall to have some electronics fixed up.

The dealership tried to update my software or do some software coding but it since keeps crashing. They've tried multiple times to reinstall the software to no luck. Got a call today saying they're closer to getting the software sorted, but now the indicator lights wont switch off, so they need to keep it for a few more days to resolve.

I've got a 3 series loan car. Makes me miss the size of my X5.

The customer service at the dealership has been great and communication has been good, so i don't mind waiting it out.

After updating tp 07/2019.53 my cruise stays connected while stopped, at least a minute. So the car moves off by itself again with the traffic. Not sure if this is the full traffic jam assistant functionality though. Ill keep testing.

Drive Recorder now available in Australia.
X5 upgraded to 11/2019-34 on a Jan19 built car delivered the new app.
AUD$300 for perpetual license
software update also now supports auto roll-forward in drive assist when stopped in traffic jam.
All great news.
Main disappointment is dealer has no information about features, or bug fixes in any software release. Absolutely terrible customer handling by BMW.

Did you get the Drive Recorder through ConnectedDrive Store or through the dealer?

I tried to purchase it through the store but it says not available for my car (03/19 build and 07/2019 firmware)

It is an app that appears in ConnectedDrive Store and the iDrive when your car is upgraded to the latest software release.
