Or hear what a BMW Genius actually tells you (know they are not all as they claim to be).
My take is the update file was downloaded prior to you modifying the mentioned data privacy setting thus deactivating the remote upgrade option. I would not exclude it as possibly being a temporary server problem and I would keep checking as you should see the same option as we do and as shown in the pictures. You could also TEST it by re-activating (set the flag in data privacy) and then check back if you still see that error message. If you enable the option back on (by flagging it) and that error message still persists, then it’s likely a server (connection) issue and the former cannot be established. You could call and ask BMW if they are experiencing any issues on that side.
No when it’s all said and done and the remote OTA upgrades are NOT active, nothing should get pushed through. Else that would be a data breach if have not given consent. Whether an already downloaded upgrade file can be removed, suppressed – deleted in any ways I do not know. I would just leave the option as inactive regardless because ultimately the update should not occur if you do not wish for it.
As for map updates these get automatically downloaded. BMW pushes the navigation map updates automatically as well.

I would not worry about this one though since it has no impact on other things other than your navigation.
I have not used the APP extensively but it should not matter. When you make changes “inside” the car, what you see on the APP and on the PC should automatically get updated when you refresh and navigate through that. Though I think it is good practice for a full refresh to log out completely and back in again so nothing wrong with that if you did it already. As a possibly more “drastic” measure you may want to remove and RE-add the vehicle all together as some have done to solve other annoyances (was mentioned in another thread too). Deleting the app and reinstalling it also often helps if there are issues.
As for the banner and privacy settings perhaps remotely BMW refreshed/updated something so when you log-in there after a long time and something even ever so slight changed, you might see that message. I logged in the data privacy settings twice in the last month and did not see that message.
As for your connected drive access data invalid message try this which was suggested by a forum member in another forum section (believe it was also G05):
Delete the profile from the car and then add it back
Select all checkboxes in Car Settings for Data Privacy
Delete the app from the iphone,
Reinstall the app
Log back into the app using My Connected Drive ID / PW
Add the vehicle to the app using the VIN,
Confirm by entering the code sent to the car from BMW
Re-check the data privacy options in the IDrive as you desire
No guarantee all error messages/issues will go away but worth a try. I read it has worked in many cases. |
Thanks for the info.!
For the connected drive error, what exact profile do you/BMW want deleted/where is it located, I'm assuming not my driver profile?
All apps are working fine, but this is exactly what I get when I choose the connected app in idrive, essentially suggesting what you/others say (see 1st pic). Connected app on my phone is also working perfectly, therefore do I need to even utilize it in Idrive? Error message goes away once I move the selector.
You were 100% correct, today the software upgrade now shows deactivated (2nd pic), but I now don't see the version I'm on, I'm guessing I cant because its deactivated? Last check before deactivating (late last night) was 07/2019.55
. The sounds this car makes even in comfort is sublime and I would rate it up there with my XKR with fact perf exhaust.
Sorry for all the basic questions but too many vehicles with too many settings etc. and now just use only the basics when I get a new one, but would now like the M850's fully functional since I went this far preserving the exhaust.
