“I have a 2019 750Li (G12). Can someone tell me how I know what iDrive version I have. I believe I have the iDrive 6 but do not know how to confirm. Also, I am wondering, if I do indeed have the iDrive 6, can it be changed to iDrive 7 and if so what features I might gain. I am specifically interested in the Comfort Access features (auto lock when walking away) and remote start. My car is really highly optioned but does not have those features.”
Unfortunately it is seems to be impossible to upgrade from ID6 to 7. Apparently a lot of the infrastructure (sensors, wiring, hardware, etc.) to support id7 is different than what a car with id6 has. Particularly the instrument cluster which is very different between cars with ID6. While it may be possible by swapping all those components, I venture it would be an astronomical undertaking and not worth it. Some of the id7 features can be coded in but not things like remote start or proximity sensor locking
