Idrive service History update
Hello,
Does anyone know how can you update the IDrive service history and if it's possible? I would like to do some service on my car and to update it in the service history. Thanks! |

For the people who say: "go to dealership" or "pay someone to do it" - this aint really a DIY. It can be done by yourself just like activating digital speed for which some charge insane amounts imo. |

Is your end goal just to see a pretty list of all the service you've done? Anything you put in there is not going to get synched back in any fashion to BMW or your service records. There's a utility you can search out called HU Service Manager but it was mainly for older vehicles. I think it might still work on ID7 but not sure. The dealer doesn't even update the IDrive service history when they do maintenance because it's all in AOS (the BMW backend) so there's no need to update it in the car too.

I know its not synced with BMW. The purpose is so I can track the work I have done and what needs to be done in the future. Service intervals are a bit high (e.g. 30k km for oil change) and I change the oil every ~10k. It is easier for me to go into Idrive Service History and check when I did what than to log all the details in a notebook like the old fashion way. |

All the previous replies are correct.
There is a program called HU Service Manager which lets you enter all your own service records, but: - The free version can't read your current records so you have to enter those as well. - The records you enter will only be saved in the car, not on the BMW server, so they will be lost on every update. You can save an export when you enter them so it should be fairly easy to re-enter them. I started doing it this way but find it easier to just keep a local log of services I do rather than trying to keep this thing updated. I can also recommend BimmerLink to reset your service records. It is a lot easier than having to fire up ISTA every time. It also keeps track of your resets. And it will save you a ton of time if you ever want to do your rear brake pads, or replace the battery, etc.. I should also mention that I did get a message regarding "unauthorised access", or similar, the last time I used HUSM, but I am not sure if it was related to that or because I had installed the CarPlay FSC.

First I typed all the maintenance history in a text file as it's mentioned in help file because of lite version. Second I pressed the button START to delete and write the new service history but all the history in a car was lost. Seems I need another software to write all the history in a car. |

Watched this video, and it makes some sense. Need to try this personally soon if it actually works.
