Paulinelinker Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Greetings, gentlemen. I acquired a 2017 330e. I am like it so far, however I am enquiring about the procedure for updating iDrive. Each Google search directs me to the BMW website for file downloads; however, I cannot locate any option to verify whether an update is necessary or where to get the files. I have a linked drive in the system, but it indicates that it is no longer operational, and I cannot locate any option in the vehicle for an over-the-air upgrade. The maps are from 2017, and I have encountered information indicating that the software I am using is outdated and that fresh upgrades are available. Can somebody provide clarification on this matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard_silver Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I am uncertain about the iDrive version you own; nonetheless, for satellite navigation updates, please attempt the complimentary downloads available on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex1978 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 It is uncertain, but is a subscription required to maintain updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulinelinker Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 I have purchased a map, so at least the satellite navigation is arranged. I believe the attached drive is intended to provide upgrades using over-the-air (OTA) technology; however, it has now been disabled for this model year. I will take it to BMW shortly for a recall and request an update, hoping they do not impose a price for the service. Thank you, gentlemen.

Alex1978 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I hope for a favourable outcome for you. BMW would impose an admission fee for the showroom if they believed it would be feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
