I've just put two brand new cartridges in the car.
Don't seem to get any smell and this is the image I get when selecting a cartridge. I've checked both are seated correctly and it recognises what they are. So I am assuming they're correct. I bought them from a BMW dealer so they're genuine. This is the image I get yet the manual in the iDrive says it is supposed to show the full level. It was the same image when I removed the previous cartridges. Oddly though the Touch Command shows it as it should?? |

They aren't made to be a perfume, They really are a very light smell to them and you'll really only notice it after leaving the car and coming back in. |

Thanks. I was more referring to that I don't get the display on the iDrive like I do on the touch command. Whereas in the operating instructions/user manual it says it should have a fill level displayed. |

Do you have a link or photo of the owners manual and where it says this?

It's not a bottle of perfume it's a little bit of cloth soaked in the scent. How in the world could they even measure it. The "level" is the strength of the scent. Nothing more. |

If you look at the touch command screenshots I posted. That shows the image you should see on the iDrive. As the scent is used then the level on that display drops. Eg if the scent was half used the top half of the bottle image would be black. I know the difference between a 'strength' level and a fill level. The manual clearly states it should show a fill level. This video from BMW shows the image that should be seen on the iDrive. |

I'm waiting on the BMW Genius Tech or whatever he's called to get back to me about a software update. He seems to think from my email that they all look like that in the UK. |

This is the current info. I've got the latest map coming on USB as for some reason I can't download it. Not sure if the map update includes any software updates. |

What year is your car? I would say you should maybe check out some cars with ID6 with ambient air in your nearest dealer and see what they look like? If your car isnt ID6 then it would make sense if it didnt have it but I'm not too sure tbh.

You can see the difference here and my iDrive is the same as the bottom image. The BMW Genius tech bloke emailed this afternoon and said he's going to check some other cars and get back to me. In fairness he's being really good. |

So today, due to another issue my car software was updated by my local dealer to the version in the pics
For those who doubted the fill level of the ambient air cartridges are displayed. Have a look at the difference in the two pictures. You can clearly see cartridge 2 is full and cartridge 1 has some used. Anyway I'm happy now. And the smell actually works. Didn't see anything else new but haven't really looked through the settings. |

You can see the difference in the indicated levels of the scents in the bottle image on the right of the text. |
