Personal Wake Word

First World Problems, I know, but when i go into the 'Wake Word' menu, the only option listed is to turn the standard wake word ON or OFF - there is no option to create a new personal wake word. Am I missing something??

What model year do you have?

I had no issues setting up a personal wake word on my MY2020 530e w/ iDrive 7.

My bad - I didn't realize I needed to set up a whole driver's profile before I could set that up.

No problem. Glad you set one up. They are super useful.

Hi Logical Apex,
I desperately need your help. I'm planing to buy a 530e M Sport (Model year 2020) with the 12kWh battery and iDrive 7.

I think you have the same version thus I have a few questions to be clarified.

1.Does the iDrive 7 have support for extended voice commands such as opening the windows through voice commands and changing the temperature of the climate control,etc.... (Like the LCI)

2. How is the iDrive updated ? Is it through OTA or dealership.

3. Is there any other miscellaneous features that are missing from this iDrive.

I hope to get a reply as soon as possible and thank you very much.

The iDrive in the MY2020 530e is unceremoniously dubbed by the community as "iDrive Lite" as it is not as full featured as the LCI.

To answer your direct questions:

1. No, it doesn't support voice control for windows or climate control. It does support voice commands to do stuff like change driving mode, enabling seat massage, or the like.

2. The iDrive is updated at the dealer as OTA updates are not supported on MY2020.

3. For the most part the only things missing are OTA updates, Drive Recorder, Reverse Assistance, Traffic Jam Assist Pro, and some extended voice commands like we discussed earlier.
