FIXED!
Confirmed that the fix is complete. I have all the apps back and some new ones. Spotify was not on my car prior to this.
Trade off is there are lots of settings that got lost. Once I logged back into the car, some came back. But all the button programming was gone. I had to re-pair my phone. Overall, very simple. Dealer (BMW Cape Cod) was excellent. Got me right in, offered a loaner and was done in one day. There is no way to do this update OTA. I am trying to find out what release the new software is, but I haven't found where that is listed. Glad it's over! GW |

That's good to know - out of interest, did you get any other 'new' features (like being able to control the cameras / save video)?
I'm not so much bothered about losing settings, only takes 2 minutes to put everything back together. Quote:

Did you have anything that had been coded before the update was installed? If so, were the coded items still there (I would doubt that they were)? Also, have you tried communicating with the car through the ConnectedDrive phone app?

Version is 3/2020.58
Does respond to BMW Connected. Had to turn on Remote 3D again. I had no other mods prior to this. That is the next step. But back to loving the car. AND! - I turned off Remote Software updates!!! Until I have a problem, that is where it will stay! GW |

Interesting you have version 3/2020.
They must have made a number of changes to this from .30 to .58 as that was the version redhot had with so many issues. I was going to plumb for version 11/2019 but if this new version of 3/2020 is as stable as you say then I may ask for that instead. Thanks for the heads up. |

What will be interesting is the upcoming Android Auto release. Hopefully, it is OTA as I do not want to change my iDrive release unless I absolutely have to. BMW has proved one thing to me, i.e., they are clueless in the software world. So it will take an act of God to get me to agree to change from my 11/2019.55 release and open up the proverbial shit show of BMW's absolutely incompetence. |

Thankfully that is a 2019 vs 2020 recall so my 11/2019.55 rides on until BMW can convince me otherwise. Bottom line is I'm not open to an iDrive shit show of an experience due to their absolutely incompetence in the software world. If they tell me I need a full iDrive update for Android Auto I'll pass as I've lived without it for many years as my prior Lexus did not support it as well. My priority is a flawlessly functional ConnectedDrive and seamless interoperability with the SSD in the console for my music source which I have with the 11/2019.55 release.

My version was done in Jan at the dealership and it has been solid as well.

So, rather than taking the risk, I’ll just sit on this flawed software until I summon the courage to bring the car in for its next “service” in 2021. (I note that, according to RGW, BMW still hasn’t figured out a way to save our settings and restore them after a software “upgrade.”)

Got to the dealer to pick the car up after the software update. Now there's no ConnectedMusic menu at all. Software updated to 03/2020.40 - only apps on there are BMW Assistance and Personal Assistant (which is new I think).
Driving cluster is prettier and there are some new menu options in iDrive, looks to be more configurable for a lot of stuff. Got home, did an iDrive reset (held down the power button until it did a full reboot). Didn't do anything. Did a factory reset on the car (thus losing all my settings). This then looked to start updating the apps / services as it prompted for the data use agreements to be agreed to. Deleted the car from my connecteddrive account. Re-added it. More services started to slowly appear. Can't log into the driver profiles bit (guessing it's either still updating or it's upset that I deleted my car from my account and added it too quickly). Will give it until morning and see if I can log in or see the ConnectedMusic bit. BTW: brought this up in the dealer before I left, no one there the first clue what I was talking about. "What apps?" "To play Spotify you use bluetooth" etc. |

Dealers appear to be woefully uneducated on lots of these matters, I dont blame them as much as BMWUSA for failing to educate them in the first place...

Glad to hear it all went well and with no collateral damage (always a fear when going for service).

Leaving it overnight has sorted it. Signs in ok now, Spotify working, happy it's sorted but pissed at how much effort it took and the total lack of understanding by BMW staff that the car actually has updatable software in it.
Spotify music quality is worse than Deezer though. So might go back to that, rendering the whole saga completely pointless. |

11/2019.55 works like a champ and BMW will have to pry it away from my cold dead body during a service call.
