I know it works and runs fine.
I know plenty of people with 2018 cars running the 07.2020 software. It's just that on my car, for some reason, the dealership have decided I can't have it! Can I be bothered to keep going back to the dealership? No, honestly I can't. So, I'll have to get a private coder to do it. M |

As for a 3rd party coder I'm not sure they will have access to a full iDrive release. Yes, they can code against what is installed to enable features not included in the region (e.g., anti-dazzle here in the US) or modify configuration settings. However, in the case of 07/2020 they cannot magically enable Android Auto or the IoS digital key as it is non-existent in the earlier releases. |

Hi Blooze,
thanks for your informative posts. Do you think the 2019 headunits have different hardware then meaning no software updates can enable or bring Android Auto? My wife's X4 was produced on 26.09.2019 and through a complete software update @BMW (they flashed all ECUs in early August) the car now has Android Auto. Perhaps it is a 2020 as I do not know when 2020 SOP for the G02 models. I'd be disappointed if I cannot get Android Auto enabled on my M850i though I would still live with it as all the other stuff functioning properly is utmost priority. After all if I buy a 2019 build chances are the 2020 and later models will logically have some features that mine does not have. |

Just got my car back. Upgraded to 07/2020.45 now. I have Android Auto and the car made it home without any software glitches.
No iPhone digital key, but maybe BMW Connect hasn't realized the car has been updated. Or maybe my car is just too 'old'. It is a 12/18 build, so others with a 2018 build should be able to get the update. |

The ECU to be coded is DKOMBI4 and the following items must be set to "aktiv": CB_FZG_UMGBUNG_FAS - aktiv CB_PRESELECT_NAVI_ANSICHT_FZG_UMGBUNG - aktiv PIA_FZG_UMGEBUNG_FAS - aktiv SICHT_ABSICHT_ENABLE - aktiv If you do not have a professional tool (esys / esyX etc.), you can do via Bimmercode in expert mode. It's late here now but tomorrow I want to test it and see it actually at work with the system engaged. |

I personally love the feature and have used it numerous times in my 2020 M850i on various longer road trips in full auto mode. In fact the software/hardware inner geek in me appreciates the extra detail BMW put into it as larger vehicles show up as trucks vs cars. Semi-trucks are always displayed this way but there is an algorithm in play to the point that larger targets, e.g., a 1 ton cargo van will display as a truck vs car as well. |

Next I am going for the Lane Change Assist enablement (if the related parameters are available) so that cluster gets a bit more "animation" still. |

I have coded the Lane Assist just before the rainstorm came.... as my Ethernet cable hangs down from the balcony and is fully exposed! So I have enabled it and when I have the opportunity I will test it too.
These are the ECUs and parameters I had to code: BDC_Body3 > CAFD_7083 > SPURWECHSEL_ASSISTENT - aktiv HU_MGU > CAFD_3E52 > SPURWECHSELASSISTENT - gen_1 For other BMW models there is an additional parameter in SAS2.I could not find this ECU so I suppose it does not apply to and thus isn't necessary for G15 cars. Anyone else who have coded Lane Assist please advise if you also miss this ECU? |

If you have the Driving Assistance Professional Package on your 2019 here in the US you should already have Lane Change assistant enabled. However, what you will not have is the feature in which the digital cockpit replaces the center map with basically what the car "sees", i.e., lanes, cars surrounding you, etc. Attached is a quick shot I took during one of my drives with it enabled.

As for the dealer updating your iDrive software, apparently they will not do so unless there is a service bulletin, e.g., the rear camera issue as otherwise the labor warranty for the upgrade is not covered by BMW. The other way to get it updated is to claim an issue similar to what I had back in December in which my Connected App would no longer "connect" to the car. Thus, you should be good to go but it makes sense to tell them your happy with the iDrive setup just in case. Last edited by bloozemanAZ; 09-20-2020 at 09:31 PM.. |
