Question Remote Software Update & ConnectedDrive

Hi Guys,

So, two small Qs;

- I'm on 7.2019.25 or something similar and when I hit remote update to check for updates I'm getting no software available - I'm in the UK, is there a later software available for an LCI G12?

- My car will not talk to the app on my phone or the website, or when it does, its like once a day, you can't send any commands to it either, I've rebooted the system and updated the apps and still nothing. Any ideas?

Also if anyone has any settings that make the Harman Kardon system sound better I'd love to have them! Sounds a little bit muffled to my ears.

Thanks!

You'll have to take the car into the dealer and have them update the software on the car. In the US, there was a technical bulletin regarding the ConnectedDrive and a car software fix, maybe the same in the UK. But a software update fixed the issue with the ConnectedDrive but for the remote 3D view due to some issues with iOS 14

Oh ok cool, yeah it went in today and on a G12 LCI I'm now running 7.2020.55 or something similar to that and all the Connected features are now working, they had to flash the TCU unit as well.

Apparently has some new BMW mapping feature - has Android Auto built in which is cool I guess, I use Apple Car Play anyway.
