8er after 07/2020 navigation problems
Hello,
Do you also have issue with your nav? In cars after 07/2020. In my 5er I have more options and in 072020 8er are not so many options + you must write locations stupidly long time. [IMG][/IMG] |

That's how it's supposed to look with the update (8er photo)

Personally I find the iDrive controller for entering data a cumbersome process. In the rare occasion I have to (e.g., entering my Connected Drive password) I put it into the touch keyboard mode and enter the data that way vs the controller. |

FYI, some of the new features in the 07/2020 release is enhanced BMW Assistant capabilities. So with any luck they have improved the navigation commands beyond what I have with 11/2019.70. |

I can see that scenario as a terrible failure and hence the dilemma. From the data I can find supposedly the assistant supports 22 languages but obviously Czech is not one of them. Hopefully, it is added in the future as the Assistant race is a market space that is key to any companies future given voice input is the future along with gestures. Amazon leads, Siri is a close second, Google a distant third and MS Cortana an abysmal failure to the point they killed it again for non-Windows 10 devices.

Good day everyone, I am looking to purchase an M850i but before that I am trying to learn as much as possible in general about this model and gather information about things to be aware of! Regarding the navigation/tech part, I wanted to know if the 8er cars produced from 07.20 onwards come with a new / upgraded headunit (HW) or whether a 2019 model can be "brought up-to-date" with a software update and thus still enjoy some of the newer stuff?

I strongly hoped that as the X4 of my wife produced in 09-2019 came without Android Auto but we asked the dealer to full flash car recently and now amongst other it is Android Auto-able. Thus I wanted to rest assured that the same can be done for the 8er models. |

The irony is my first desire for a M850i was in Sunset Orange. However, I could never see one in person and once I fell in love with the Fiona Red/Black interior had to scrap it completely. That said Sunset Orange with either Tartufo/Black or Cognac should be a complete winner for a build. A black interior will work as well but within the small cabin of the M850i you definitely want a lighter interior. |

I can speak eng and little bit ger but the problem is to tell car/phone some instructions. In car to dictate streets, in iOS to dictate messages and emails its only for simple commands like whats weather etc. Back to Nav - its one of the reasons they should have still simple solutions how to add by hand, especially in car its really needed to avoid some accident |
