I used to be able to edit the name displayed in the idrive in connected services online to first name last name. It's not as simple as you are thinking it is. Just had this done Call them at 80 selected Connected Services option and ask them to change it (you'll need your vin). Likely has other different modules too like the BDC. I won't need to do the tweaking though as I am already in purgatory with iDrive 7 "Lite" on MY2020 in my 530e.

Follow the onscreen instructions to save mirror and steering wheel position to the driver profile. Then touch Driver Profile Settings > Add New Driver, type the driver’s name and touch Create Profile.
The switch isn't needed on iDrive 7 cars with the SP18 hardware (like the LCI G30), but it is needed on cars with SP15 hardware (from 2017-2020). Creating a Driver Profile To add a new driver profile, touch the driver profile icon at the top of the Controls screen.

I still need to have my BMW dealer install the valet mode switch in my car because BMW accidentally deleted the switch and wiring in the factory for the first 6 months or so of the MY2020 production. The lack of anything else is why we don't get any other iDrive 7 features and have no Remote Software Updates, valet mode, Digital Key, lane information in navigation display, etc. It is something along the lines of head unit and RAM module and nothing else. On iPad devices, the app will not run in full-screen, since this app is designed for iPhone® screens.

I won't claim to know the full extent of the hardware changes needed, but I do know that the iDrive 7 version on MY2020 5-Series and X3 cars is not the full set of hardware iDrive 7 changes. 1) What is required in order to use the new BMW Connected app Device Requirements: The new BMW Connected app is available exclusively for iOS devices running iOS 9.0 or newer.
But if you do try be sure to make a thread. That's really not how it works nor how easy it will be to "upgrade" to idrive 7 from idrive 6. I expect we'll see this stuff happening in a few years. Since the MY2020 cars are basically iDrive 6 cars with the iDrive 7 head unit in theory an iDrive 6 car can actually be upgraded aftermarket to iDrive 7, but the iDrive 7 cars are too new to serve as donor cars to harvest from. It is like they felt like they had way way too many iDrive 7 head units and just needed to desperately get rid of them right before the LCI on the 5 and X3. Yeah they really fucked us over on MY2020 for no reason I can figure out. and i cant buy it in my one model year old car.

I wish they would just sell us what is probably one module somewhere + a backup battery to give us full ID7.Įspecially insulting now that BMW is now selling remote start as a connected drive upgrade feature. I'll try to see if I can verify regional updates.Yeah - I have a 2020 G01 M40i and I feel like i was scammed by BMW too. I'm about to do an Texas to SC ( stopping in Spartanburg for a New Owner's Track Day). I didn't think to check if the several "regions" I passed through were updated. How could you tell that your "not normal" region updated? I just finished a Texas (normal region) to California trip. I think it was after about 8 hours or so in the region so as long as you aren't planning on going on fairly new roads as soon as you get into a region I would think the Nav should be fine.
Mine updated while traveling through various regions including Canada. When you get outside of some metro areas, the data rates can be quite slow, so not sure how fast that will happen, either. I'm hoping that the embedded SIM card will allow that to happen. I have a trip coming up where I may cross three regions, and am not sure how it will respond. I would prefer that the maps updated the entire area rather than just a region. Paladin1, Can you be specific about the URL you found the Region 1-13 for US maps on CONNECTED DRIVE? I can't find that anywhere using my Mac Safari browser. I do see it on the BMW UK site, just not on the site for us poor Colonials. My Connected Drive site only has options for automatic updates for regions 1-13 (and you can only select one) - no download software or other updates. I guess that in the USA the Download Manager will download the full USA mapping update.Īs far as I can tell, this is not available in the US.

The OTA update in the car would obviously struggle with 28Gb, so only does the local area/country/state. You then put the update on a USB stick on your PC, then plug the USB stick into the car. I have just checked and map Europe 2020-4 (I am in the UK) is now available and a mere 28Gb download, taking less than 2 hours. This app can be found hiding on the BMW website - I forget where. You can update all the maps in you car via the "BMW Download Manager" app on a PC (or mac?).
