Latest iDrive Media / Phone Software Update to V. 002_255_062 /060
__________________________________________________ __________
UPDATE: as it has been asked in many threads, here it is, Opasha confirms (post 13 below, and post 1218 here: http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...033991&page=56)that this upgrade does not affect coding work, including HU_NBT. ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ After spending a week at the BMW spa, the car came back with a fresh firmware update. However, some Bluetooth functions were not working properly. Just checked at www.BMW.com/update and the phone and media software in the car were several versions stale. Step 1: You can download the update to a USB drive from the site and follow the directions there. Step 2: There is no step 2 for most people. Bu for some they have to un-pair and re-pair devices from both iDrive and the device/phone. Go to settings, and check for software updates. Your should at minimum be on version: (media) MN-002_255_060 and (phone) TN-002_255_062, which you can download from the update link. The extracted file was created 15 DEC 2014. Before and after photos below. Bluetooth functions restored, after update, and after removing and re-pairing two phones and two other media devices. Symptoms: - only one phone would connect at a time (car has EBT option) - bluetooth would repeat one particular song after every start (first song, alpha sort), not where you left off - album art missing occasionally or instead showing a black screen with some tiny red letters/digits in the bottom that were not legible. Before After Update content: "Software update with BMW ConnectedDrive. Besides updating via a USB, I extracted the files on a computer and glanced at the XML files. Software update is titled: "Software Update 12/2014" in the phone update section. Phones mentioned: Apple iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5C, 5S (iOS 7); Motorola Razr i; BlackBerry Q10, 9800, 9900 (OS 7.1); Samsung Galaxy S4; All Bluetooth Devices. My iOS8 phone runs fine now. some text language updates seem to be included, specifically for JP, KR, CHS (simplified Chinese), and language code "YY" (?) The XML file made no mention of my VIN, but: Some VIN related information as follows: "Software Update 12/2014</description><creationdate>2014-11-05</creationdate><expirationdate>2024-01-01</expirationdate><releasestatus>released</releasestatus><targetECU>99</targetECU><vinallow><vin>*</vin></vinallow><ctrlcommand/><spindex><SWUP HashValue="9c93ZQgTHbHnLsTfo2c0kMcCKJCRkyPKg1LK3PX C03Y=" Gets a lot of info from www.w3.org which is a connected car organization.

edit....just realized the dates you mention. if you have an E70, I'd be cautions. I would follow the screen instructions as stated by BMW. It may ask you to do one more upgrade from 5021 to 5026. One clue is where my starting firmware was: 49.003. Don't know what yours shows now.

I've got a Jan/FEB 2014 build and had taken my car in to the dealer last month for the first service, I know I had upgraded the software last summer to the 5021 but after the car was in at the dealer which a SW upgrade was supposedly done, my iDrive was back to 49.003. So I decided to upgrade right to the 5062 even though it says March 2014 or later.
It worked fine in fact as I wrote on another thread, BT Album Art streaming from my iPhone 6 Plus to the car now finally works. Had no luck in the past to get BT streaming with Album Art, only when connected via USB. |

MattBianco I'm with you on this one, got to be on the latest software, if there is an update it's got to be an improvement, right?
Updated mine, dead easy, took about 1 minute, now lets see what changes. |

Matt.....Does doing the update ( I assume I should use a memory stick via USB) wipe out any coding that was done?

I cannot guarantee it won't affect coding. The only codes at risk would be: - enabled EBT when the car came without one - enabled video in motion You can download and glance at the XML file as I have. Seems to be an update for compatible phones, OS, and album cover capability, plus better bluetooth management. |

My coder just assured me that any update loaded via USB will not harm the coding in any way. He is very knowledgeable so I will do the update and confirm.

Hey guys, just curious, other than "not doing any harm", what good would it do to update if we don't now what the update is and what it actually updates? I downloaded the update on a usb and was going to install it but I just thought I would ask to see if anybody knew what it actually updates. If it's only for the iphone and I don't have one, then it wouldn't do me any good to update, at least that is my thought.

I am in a different camp - I will not update unless something is broken. Many times updates cause unintended changes and need to be further patched or rolled back. I usually wait several months after an update comes out and only update if it fixes a problem I am having. Just my free opinion

Ihave EBT coded. Bluetooth now working smoothly. Streaming album art for songs which used to only work correctly when connected via USB. Also text messages in "office" showing up via Bluetooth....still no email.
