Also confused and curious by the different software versions on this thread. My BMW app tells me I’m on 03/2023.20 and it’s upto date. Guess that’s because the car is only a few weeks old. But why are there updates mentioned in this thread that are behind the version I have? Surely the app would update to the most recent version? Or have I completely misunderstood what is going on (wouldn’t surprise me!). Thanks

Go into the iDrive apps section where you find climate control, drive recorder, lap timer, etc. and it's there as well. Just need to open it and add the location and the always on GPS in the car will roll down the driver's side window at that spot.

Yes, you're on the latest and greatest. Unfortunately, OTAs are always behind. For example late this year they may push 03/2023 but that's a crap shoot. Also, there is no rhyme or reason to the logic but they push serially across the series models that support. So an X on iD7 can get it before an 8 or vice versa. |

I am avoiding updates as I don’t want to lose the coding done on my car (very inconvenient for me to have it done again). Which was fine by me, until I noticed a bunch of apps are no longer available on my car. Is this because updated apps are required after some car software updates?
Or is there a way to reload apps? |

Some apps are only available via an ID7 release, e.g., M Lap Timer. But if you're on 07/2021 or better you should have that as well. Others are Connected Drive subscriptions, e.g., the Red Light camera. To force a full app install first go to the apps section in iD7 and leave the prompt on installed apps. Then hit the iD7 options button (lower right behind the iD wheel). Select the top option which will wipe and re-install all apps. |

Over 2 weeks and still waiting for the last bit of magic for 11/2022.60 to happen. Meanwhile I have to see the New Software Upgrade message every time I open the App.
If I recall, for the last update, I just waited and waited, and one day...joy! |

I just did the install today and it went smoothly. It downloaded to app a few day ago and finally remember to install it after getting home from work today. Are you going in the iDrive screen and hitting install? It requires the car off, cool and parking brake to do the install (check list on the screen)

Also same for me on the install. It would only trigger after I got back into the car after it was cooled down. Never while driving and never right when I turned it off. Odd.

In fact, my last upgrade started as soon as I drove into the garage and shut the car off. So maybe cool does not mean cold. Anyway, it’s weird. One thing that I did last time but have not checked this time, is switching off remote start. That’s a requirement…I’ll try this tomorrow. |

So still waiting for previous update to install to the car after being uploaded a previously (several times now going back to November last year!) another update available (03.2023.50). Have downloaded it on the app and uploaded to the car and back to waiting for it to decide to install. I use my car regularly etc etc. Have contacted connected drive online to get help, reloaded aps etc and battery connected to Ctek with no joy!
Too much hassle for me to bother taking it to the dealer outside of its service so will wait until it next goes in so they can update the software. BMW OTA delivery updates are rubbish!
