Remote Software Update

Post by davidmaz » Thu Jun 22, 2023 7:48 pm

I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on a problem I am having with the remote software update, which isn't updating!

I have downloaded the update on my phone and transferred it to my car but that's as far as it goes. I get a message in Idrive stating preparations for the update have been completed and that I will be notified when the upgrade can be installed. I've had this message for over a week now and feel a bit puzzled that it still hasn't updated. Is this normal? can anyone shed any light on this?

Abstinence is fine, in moderation.

I suspect long drive is needed for the battery charge.

What if the car insists there are no
updates available but there obviously are?! Mine is 11/2021.40 software, which is what came with the car. They are up to 07/2023 software now!
