You can repair issues with an application, operating system, or software suite that aren’t working properly by performing software updates. When upgrading their BMW iDrive 8 vehicles, drivers will be able to keep their vehicles up to date with the most recent software, just like they were in 2018 and later. Drivers of vehicles that are compatible with the new operating system will be notified via their vehicle’s or BMW’s app. To download and install a software update, the BMW Combox or compatible iDrive must be installed. If you are not having any problems with the current version of the software, then there is no need to update it.īMW claims that this is the largest over-the-air update the company has ever rolled out. However, it is important to note that you should only update the software on your car if you are having problems with the current version that is installed on your car. The answer to this question is yes, you can update the software on your BMW car. After that, an ENET cable is required if you don't already have one.There are many people who own BMW cars who are curious about whether or not they can update the software on their car. Looks like you have software version M based on "NBTevo_M17365I"Ĭan't say that I noticed anything major that changed but the system does seem to be smoother and more reliable.Īny firmware version of iDrive 6 up to, but not including 'P' only requires a USB drive to unlock CarPlay if you so desire. It's a full hardware upgrade worth couple $$$thousand. Would appreciate it if anyone could give me insight into how to determine which version I have - can I enter my VIN online somewhere to determine whether it's iDrive 6 or 7? And whether I should update / what I'd experience by updating? And if I can update with a USB drive or it has to be done by the dealer? Also, I'm planning to buy the full screen CarPlay patch and if I need to update the iDrive software version then I should probably do that before I install the FS CarPlay patch. Are there any significant updates since then that I should update my iDrive for? I'm taking a big 3,000 mile roadtrip next month so thinking it would be a good idea to have all the latest functionality.
How do I determine whether I have iDrive 6 or the most current iDrive 7? Mine is a March 2018 build and is showing me "TB-006.006.006" and "MB-006.006.006" as the current version and "NBTevo_M17365I" and "111172.3.211" as the current nav software version.
Posting in here as I'm assuming it's the exact same iDrive system as the non-M X6 and there's more people in this forum.
