Warranty Expired, Remote Software Upgrade is currently not possible.
Hello All,
I have downloaded version 11/2023.50 to my G05 last week, cause I was on vacation and the car didn't run much for almost 1 month, could be the battery not fully charged and since I drove 1 week and finally been noticed the upgrade can be installed today. I did followed all the procedure put the car in parked but somehow the system telling me remote software upgrade is currently not possible, and will be given the chance to install the upgrade again shortly. Actually later today I had another chance to install but same message came up, BTW my warranty expired 6 months ago, not sure the software upgrade only within warranty period ? Thanks all |

That is normal. Many, if not most, folks with older vehicles can't their OTA to install. Once and awhile putting its on a charger will kick it off but generally not.
Not being in warranty would have no effect on it.

I have exactly the same problem on a 2019 reg X5. And the overall software navigation , Apple CarPlay etc is sluggish at start up. What is the solution? I took it to a BMW dealer they said I have to wait till the software becomes available for the car to update? Is that true?

If you haven't already, restart iDrive hold the volume button in for 30 seconds, easiest to do while driving since you will see the reboot starting), and then let go when the process starts.

I have a CPO 2020 X5 x40i, purchased in Oct 23 from a dealer across the country. It did not have updated software, so I tried the OTA update, failed. I mentioned it to my local service advisor who gave me a print out on suggestions to try and ensure the OTA worked, it didnt. My service advisor asked the shop manager and he rattled off the usual "we will have to charge you to do the update and no guarantees it wont break something" bull. My service advisor said it it didnt work OTA let her know. No surprise, it didnt work. So 2 weeks ago when I brought it in for oil change, I told her I couldnt get it to update, showed her a screen shot of the update failure from my phone which said to take it to the dealer, mentioned that the update is supposed to fix an issue with the transmission draining the battery, and I mentioned that android auto had been restarting mid drive regularly. She put it in the system and gave me a "good faith" software update that they didnt charge for. Now I have the latest software, the only thing I noticed was the icon for the rear camera in surround view moved from behind the X5 to on the rear of the X5. I am sure there is more, I just havent noticed.
