While we are all super skilled drivers akin to Lewis himself, this feature is bloody useful.)))
I’ll be checking tomorrow to make sure it’s switched on and if not it’ll be going on

Scuba, are you the only one on here having an issue with the RSU?

As discussed, that may well be how I never took my oil tank out with my complete stupidity rather my lightning fast reactions

Nope, still not showing for me at all. BMW connected have been useless, no one really seems to know how it works, some vague "they are released in batches sir." Suggestion now is to take it into local dealers. I'll wait until service is due.

I wonder if I added your VIN as another vehicle if it’d tell me an update was available or do I need to be in/near your car to do that?

Pm me over your vin
Or text/WhatsApp
[ref]Scubaregs[/ref], maybe have a try of my previously suggested update app and services method. I found many connected drive related issue is due to the car and bmw server lost sync. Two weeks ago when I bought the high beam assistant during the Black Friday sale, I need to do this for the newly subscribed service to appeared in the remote software update menu. So did many time that my app stopped updating my two cars’ status. I can’t guarantee this will solve your issue but it costs nothing to try.

I think the full car software update requires the APP and you can not do that without the app. When BMW rolls new sw out, a request will be sent to the vehicle to self-check all modules' compatibility and upon passing all checks, the car will send notice to the APP either via bmw server or when you connect your phone in the car. Once your phone has the new sw downloaded, it will then transfer the sw to the car while the phone is in and connected. All these step is just to save some data (about 2GB per car) transmitted via the onboard sim card. I guess Scubaregs' issue is certain module doesn't give correct response when performing the self-check.
About the high beam assistant, I don't think it requires a full car update. It's more like coding certain modules with FSC activation code. In this case, the data size need to be transfered is very small compared to the full car update. Therefore, it can happen without the app involved.
