OTA remote update via app?
Anyone else get a notice when shutting down that there is a remote software update to install via the myBMW app?
I've downloaded the info in the app, but am hesitant to install it. Any insight on the "additional features and functionality" mentioned?

Once connected it says it will download while driving.
It's been over a week and it has not downloaded?

Been getting same message. As an add-on, anyone else not able to log-in on an android phone? I can log-in on the website and log-in on my iPad. The iPad downloaded the update. Android gives me a 404 invalid client.
Edit: Genius got MyBMW to work on phone. Downloaded update. It's uploading to car now. Not exactly quick. Last edited by snowbimmer; 11-15-2021 at 05:53 PM.. |

I did an OTA update a few months ago on my '21 LCI. It went fine, but I don't recall seeing much of a change. There was a change log, but as I recall, it was mostly bug fixes and I don't recall running into any of the fixed bugs.

The i-Drive screen gives details of what is included in the update. I downloaded it on my cell phone and then went to the car. I did have to move the car outside my garage for the phone to connect. It then took five minutes for the installation to complete.

Download update to phone. Then have Bluetooth and wifi connected. Went to idrive and found software update. Drove around during download. Then it said to shut car off and let it cool down for 1/2 hour. Came back and it installed......without turning the car back on.

Although, it seems much faster and the brake squeal is gone. I'll do some more investigating. |

On a related note, I just noticed that the app on my iPhone updated in the last few days. In addition to all the previous functionality, the app now tells me the measured tire pressure for each tire as well as the suggested pressure.
I do like these app updates, although it seems like the UI keeps changing so with each new update it is a bit of a treasure hunt to find all the settings, data readouts and options. |

I've gotten this update notice as well. The last update was OTA from the car. This one via the app on the phone, so are all future updates going to be on the app via the phone then to the car? I have an older iPhone X so not sure if that's going to be an issue.

Anyone know how to get the car out of this step? Uploaded the update via the app yesterday morning. Started/stopped the car several times since then, including a few 30+ min drives.
Still stuck on this screen when I go to the update via iDrive. Car is going back in for service (ongoing radio issue) in a few weeks. If it doesn't update by then, I will add it to the list.

I left the car running and pressed the iDrive button at this stage this morning.
It then asked if I wanted to do it now or later, as it takes 20 minutes of sitting parked. I locked the car and walked away. Haven't checked it again since.

Now that I am back it says I need to wait 30 minutes for the engine to cool. Will try shortly.

Just an FYI for anyone who is contemplating the update and has done any coding to their car, e.g. headlights, NGHB, disclaimer removal, door chimes, interior lights...
After the update, ALL the coding I had done, (just two weeks ago), was reset to factory f$*king defaults. And the M1 and M2 buttons were reset to factory. Haven't found anything else yet. Radio, EQ, seats, BT, carplay, etc. seem to be intact.

I was able to download the software to my Android phone with the new App installed. I'm connected to Bluetooth and the car's wifi, but I don't know how to connect the APPS. (That icon is greyed) out.
How do I connect the apps so I can download the new software? |
