![]() I've only had this car for 3 weeks and its been to the dealer for repair/updates twice now. Hopefully everything gets fixed this time around. So off I went with a loaner until Monday. So I said let me take my car and I'll just drop it off Monday but he came back stating to just leave it and they'll take care all of my update request including updating the NAV map. I asked why so long and the rep said it's a hybrid and they only have certain mechanics working on it and probably wont get to it until Monday. I dropped off my car this morning at Pacific BMW in Glendale and they said it should be ready by Monday. The foundation of the new BMW iDrive is the all-new BMW Operating System 8, which handles even more tasks and functions and will be constantly enhanced and updated via Remote Software Upgrade. I'm looking forward to steaming XM and being able to enjoy it and hear it! Hopefully this takes care of 99% of the issues. My streaming Bluetooth has never worked correctly, XM app randomly pausing for 13 seconds, doesn't start, issues with my iphone. Service said it takes 4-8 hours to update idrive. Today, the car was in for service for a few things, but when they went to update connectdrive (cause I tried too many times with diff usb drives, not compatible etc.), they found idrive firmware was not up-to-date. Hopefully come next week, my 428i will be able to do what my nieces base nissan sentra does perfectly, stream music. I gotta say, Its great actually getting what I paid for.car steaming correctly and XM app!! Mind you, in a Loaner car and for just 2 days.But the first time in 4 months, I didn't want to throw my phone out the window or curse the day I ordered bmw Bluetooth lol. That was actually what made me call my service guy back after orig being told it was problem my phone lol and/or to wait til 3/2015 for the next connect drive update to be released. My confidence is high it's idrive integration level issues besides being outdated, but because the 2015 328i loaner I had, which has streaming bluetooth standard, my iphone/XM app worked flawlessly from the moment the car started, and the again when I started it later, then and again, and again.lol. ![]() In my case, I hope to find out next week, but def covered under warranty. Question is, could this problem potentially be solved with an integration-level update or is this type of Bluetooth operation managed solely by the Connected Drive software? Apparently, the dealer will only investigate this problem if they are paid $150. ![]() My car has streaming Bluetooth issues still - it cuts out during music play, though not as often as before last Connected Drive software update. ![]()
