How do I determine whether I have iDrive 6 or the most current iDrive 7? Mine is a March 2018 build and is showing me "TB-006.006.006" and "MB-006.006.006" as the current version and "NBTevo_M17365I" and "111172.3.211" as the current nav software version. Are there any significant updates since then that I should update my iDrive for? I'm taking a big 3,000 mile roadtrip next month so thinking it would be a good idea to have all the latest functionality. Also, I'm planning to buy the full screen CarPlay patch and if I need to update the iDrive software version then I should probably do that before I install the FS CarPlay patch.
Would appreciate it if anyone could give me insight into how to determine which version I have -- can I enter my VIN online somewhere to determine whether it's iDrive 6 or 7? And whether I should update / what I'd experience by updating? And if I can update with a USB drive or it has to be done by the dealer?
Thanks in advance! |
Looks like you have software version M based on "NBTevo_M17365I"
Mine was updated early last month to Q.
Can't say that I noticed anything major that changed but the system does seem to be smoother and more reliable.
