More info: www.bmw.com/update"

Anyone else experience this, very frustrated at this point.

Current s/w versions:
TN-001.020.022

Scott,

We will get this to work.

Make sure the update file is on the root directory in the USB device.

Next, double check the file name. It should end in .bin

Also, there are newer firmware out there. So, go back and renter the last seven of your vin.

If it still fails, reset idrive by holding round radio volume control in for 30 seconds while engine on and in park.

Finally, if it still fails let me know the exact filename. Confirm that you did not use FTP to grab the file. If you did use FTP, then I will give you a command to use.
