"July Update" changes 3D Surround from a G30 to a G12 7 Series.
I got the "July update" done on my 540 and all seemed fine. I noticed the 3D surround view was showing a 7 series G12 now and not the G30 like before. All functionality seems to work, just the wrong model car shown.
I let BMW know once I noticed and they wanted to re-program. I dropped the car off yesterday and picked it up today. The 3D surround still shows the G12 and I was told that's just they way it is now... I think they suck balls for saying that. Anyone with the July update done, please take a look at the 3D view and let me know if changed for you. - I'm curious if this is a Canada only error, so any members from other countries please let me know. Thanks! Last edited by Ab3_Fr0man; 08-23-2017 at 04:29 PM.. |

I don't have surround view but one of the coolest things about it when I tried it out is that it seems like its actually your car in the image not just a placeholder.
Disappointing that BMW dropped the ball on this. Seems like they're overlooking a lot of small things like A/C cracking, A/C effectiveness, power tailgate and now this. The small things add up and have the potential to make or break the experience |

Yup, these small issues do add up.... I was disappointed with their response.

Is the G12 not a bigger car? doors are wider and the whole car is bigger. Would the distances and measurements used in the 3D view be off as well or is it just the model of the car that is wrong?
Not sure if we can find this out. This may be an actual problem if it's using the G12 measurements on the 3D view, showing the door opening distances when you park, turning radius ect.... Last edited by Ab3_Fr0man; 08-26-2017 at 08:21 AM.. |

UPDATE: Just got my car back, and I can confirm that it's now showing G30 again...Hallelujah!!!!
Apparently, when programming the software defaults to G12, and it doesn't pull the vehicle model info from the service system. So the tech went back in the system and changed the model to G30 in the service system. So now it's showing the correct image. I don't know much about programming and coding the car, so that's the best explanation I can give. Last edited by BarlasaM; 09-08-2017 at 02:22 PM.. |

Thanks for the update and details on the solution!
Hopefully my dealership can accomplish this. Let's see how that goes... |
