Climate control SYNC oddity
I have only had my '24 i7 60 less than 3 days, but I noticed that each time I get into my car...all my settings are there, all customizations there, driver profile works perfect, app is up and running, digital key is great, Climate Control is always to my preferred 70F AUTO, but.....SYNC is always deactivated
Each drive, I have to SYNC the Climate Control, and the next drive it is off. I have been using the SYNC feature in every BMW, MBZ, Range Rover, Porsche, Audi, Rolls, Bentley, etc... for years and years and I have never once had SYNC turn off after each drive. Anyone else? A quirk to my 7, or a 7 Series quirk? I will say though, the HVAC seems excellent in the i7. I am impressed with how quickly it warms and cools...and quietly! Thanks.

In a way I hope I am updated to 03/2024. But also not...since this version fixed your SYNC issue, and I am experiencing it. |

I even specifically asked my dealer to make sure I am software updated before my delivery and they said done. |

Can BMW push the software update OTA? I got my car mid-March so wondering myself... please don't tell me we have to go to the dealer to update.

I picked up my i7 on 3/30/24, and it is running 11/2023 software. BMW told me since they have found defects with 03/2024 software, this is the reason my selling dealer left my car with 11/2023. BMW told me once the 03/2024 software has been "de-bugged" they will s l o w l y begin to send it out OTA. I guess we will see. When the i4 and iX first came out, OTA did not work for while. @A-Train Do you too have the SYNC issue? BMW told me this morning they are aware of the SYNC issue affecting the 7 Series, but no fix yet. |

I haven't noticed a sync issue, really haven't paid it any attention. But I have noticed that every time I restart the vehicle, the heated seat and the heated steering wheel is on. I keep turning it off, but it comes right back on when I restart the car. Is there a setting somewhere for that?

I've noticed the SYNC issue as well, but in my car it seems that only the word SYNC is not showing, meaning the passenger's side temps adjust based on the changes to my (driver's) side adjustments. Seems SYNC is actually active, just not showing. Yet another bug.....

My Sync works fine while driving though it does not remain in Sync when I next start the car. I would have to press Sync again each startup. It seems the software should (but for me does not) keep it in whichever was the last setup after turning off the car and then turning the car back on for next trip.

BMW told me SYNC not staying between drives is only affecting the 7 Series. |

Small follow up - I have a 03/2024.47 software but SYNC button still works like before. SYNC state is not saved, and switch back to off when entering vehicle.

Same!! My 2024 760 has the same issue, on 03/2024. It's a small but constant annoyance, given that the sync feature is a basic one that has been working just fine on multi-zone systems for quite a while.

First BMW I have ever owned with Climate Control SYNC that turns off, when you turn the car off. Our sons 2024 M3 and our 2023 XM.....SYNC stays synced, unless you turn it off! |

Just a quick update:
Took to the car to the dealer today. At first they were saying that there is no problem and the system is working as designed. Then I showed them this forum thread and asked to pull in any random 2024 X5. They did, and I showed them clear difference in the way SYNC is working in X5 vs. 7-series. At that point they could no longer deny the problem. They opened a case with BMW of Germany and those guys told them to go ahead and reprogram the vehicle. I was very skeptical about it, but they were 99% positive that it will resolve the issue. 2 hours later they rolled out my car and proudly said that it has been fixed! I got in, turned on the engine, AC+SYNC, drove around the block and got out of the car. Locked it for 10 min. Came back and the SYNC was set to OFF again! Took it back to the dealership and they said that it needs to be reported back to Germany for further investigation. Got a loaner and went home. We'll see what they come back with and how soon... |
