Remote Software Upgrade today

Not sure of the version number, but got a popup when I parked at home to accept the upgrade

I will have to go back in and set auto start to disable

My connected App started working, first time in two months

Was easy and painless . . . so far

Weird nuance of Bimmer code. I can read the ECUs and change the settings and code most of them with the car running, I have to shut the engine off to code the autostart

I looked through all the in car displays. The SW upgrade use to tell you the version you are on. Now it just lists the changes with the recent upgrade. I'll keep digging

I can find the software version under
Settings, General Settings, scroll down to the Other section to Remote Software Upgrade - it will display the installed version on the right (no clicking/pressing the iDrive controller necessary)

Software update versions?

I just received the 11/2019 software OTA. Apparently there is a 07/2020 out there also. Anyone in the US seen this version?

I have 03/2020 on my Z4 that I just took delivery on a week ago. Glad to see it's going to OTA updates. I just wish they were a little more timely.

The dealer tried to charge me for the update

It seems to me that "dealers" in general either don't understand OTA updates, or don't want to mess with them. I asked for current software on my purchase..$300 was their answer, unless there is a malfunction. Also, "OTA updates are only for Nav data" they told me...no I'm not kidding.

As far I understand, only "minor" updates are possible OTA. "Major" updates have to be done at dealer. You can't update OTA a 2019 to a 2020 version

By what method?

Couple of days ago I checked and got the "your software is up to date" message. 2019 version.

If this thread is only concerning updates over the air, I apologize. The update to my software to 07/2020.30 was done by my dealer in Denver.

As the thread starter, I am good with over the air or dealer updates. It is good to know there are updates available

I see I now have Spotify and my phone connect app has been working perfectly since the upgrade

Just ran the cars search engine for an OTA update & its said am current with 11/19.

Looks in my case the 7/20 is a dealer install.
