NFC Keycard option for G30?
Never seen it mentioned, but does anyone know if you can get the NFC key card for the G30 with ID6? it looks like a credit card you can keep in your wallet for locking/unlocking car without your regular key. I know the new X5 with ID7 has the option and I'm pretty sure you can also get it on the new 3 series.

Nor do you get Reverse Assistant despite having the Parking Assistant Plus. It’s the same with Driving Assistance, Profession isn’t available on the G30 but it’s an option on other models. This seems really strange as the G30 with options has the same cameras etc as the models that offers those options.

If it makes you feel any better, key card is not in 2020 G12 750 with ID7 either.

Does anyone know of the G12 has remote software upgrades or is it's ID7 implementation neutered like the G30?

My G12 has reverse assistant and remote software upgrade. It is a full ID7 -- but no key card.

Yes, I was asking because I perused the web brochure and didn't see reverse assist listed nor did I see remote software update. It only mentioned OTA maps.
Good to hear G12 has a full implementation of iDrive 7. Wonder why BMW chose to skip the NFC card?

Cars with remote software update have some different modules. And from reading BMW tech bulletins, it appears remote software upgrade communicates with modules that have TLS certificates installed to help protect from "evilware" being pushed. Seems the G30 does not have all the modules in the certificate chain. That should change with LCI.

It is possible that this will come in an update for the MY2020 cars since it is in the manual Last edited by LogicalApex; 11-08-2019 at 10:09 AM.. |

2019+ G20 3 series has remote software upgrading in iDrive7. G30 2020 doesn't have the full suite of updated modules that the new 3 series, X5, etc has. Those should come with LCI. Looks like BMW threw in iDrive7 (lite) to the 2020 G30 as a marketing ploy. Maybe to combat people who likes Audi's revised MMI.

It is odd as it is in the MY2020 G30 manual as being included (as shared earlier), but it isn't included when you access iDrive 7 in the car. It is possible that this will be added via a dealer installed update ahead of the LCI. As the manual pages were added for a reason. The manual doesn't discuss other features not on the G30 with iDrive 7, such as reverse assistance. |

I am back at the dealers tomorrow - remote 3D view isn’t accessible despite the car having the right options. Also, Connected Drive was all over the place today, losing driver profiles, wrong previous destinations, etc etc. Minor gremlins - I think the car is far better than the 18 month old Merc E350e I px’d against the 530e. Continental TS860S winter tyres going on tomorrow so be interesting to see the difference between RFT’s and normal / softer winter tyres. Adaptive seems to make the M Sport as comfortable as the airmatic on the Merc. |

I have never seen Remote 3D view in my Connected app even though I have the Surround View cameras w/ automatic parking and that should be all I need. I also don't see the eDrive stuff that should show in the app for eDrive cars that is geared toward efficiency information. But I am still thinking the problem is in someway related to the iDrive 7 for the G30 not being fully ready yet, but production deadlines being what they are they had to ship. We'll get more functionality overtime. A minor detail though as this car is an absolute joy to drive! |

There are a couple of things that Merc seem to do better but overall the Beemer is far superior. |

Not surprised at all that you see options in Connected Drive you cannot access. My 2019 540i with iDrive 6 has the remote software upgrade option showing in the Connected Drive website. Lol
