Created a new profile by scanning the QR code from my phone app into the car and hey ho all sorted. Just had to redo all my personal settings, and there were loads........ Thanks Santa as at least it's all sorted now.
Did that kick start the software update?

Deleting and renewing profiles on the car and the App kicked in the software update and got rid of that annoying request for data and password for me.

Cheers Nanu, looks like that's what I will need to do.

After the updates as mentioned in previous posts, I found I had to re apply my map, air on and comfort stuff which is no problem. However, has anyone else with the auto stop start facility noticed anything different?

Before the software update the stop start was the norm and each time I drove off, I had to disable it. Since the update, I have noticed the stop start is switched off and if I want to activate it I have to choose it. This as far as I am concerned is a bonus

Mine still won’t carry out the software even after redoing my profile and fully charging the battery with the CTEK. Nor will it take the latest map update.

Have you deleted and changed your profile on both the car and the BMW App?

I did this and then paired it with the car ( I think there is a QR code you use) then the next time I took the car out for a drive, it worked

Didn't delete the app, just the profile in the car then set it back up again with the QR code off the app.

You've done it right. That's exactly what cured my problems, just delete the profile in the car and reinstall using the QR code in your phone app. Yep lost my individual settings but all OK now BUT I had the softaware update installed before this.

I don't know whether it relevant but for the last 10-14 days I have had messages about an update and that if I drove it would automatically update. So I did and it did.

Well, mine finally updated yesterday. Had the car on the CTEK for a night and not sure if that prompted it, although it was a couple of journeys afterwards before it prompted to start the update. Between the update and resetting my profile I had to reset a lot of my desired settings in the car.
Then today, stop start kicked in and I've just spent 20 minutes updating Bimmercode and re-coding the car.

Re the post which says that stop/start has been playing up. Mine still won’t take the software update no matter how I try, but stop/start has been displaying exactly those symptoms mentioned. Then suddenly it went back to normal.
Could it be the weather putting extra load on the battery & alternator?
