03/2019.48 - Installed Today
Just got a call from our dealer...they said we have the most up to date X5 on the road (probably). They loaded up 03/2019.48 on our car which was just recently made available. Fingers crossed a bunch of the bugs are fixed!! Picking up the car in a bit. I'll report back once I can spend some time with it over the weekend.
Car was in for several items today: - 1st scheduled oil change/service - Upgrade software to latest to address ongoing CarPlay issues (I asked for 03/2019.45, but looks like I got .48) - Apply a recall to install some software fix related to the secondary battery system (I'll need to find out more about this) - Apply a recall in regards to the cornering lights (although mine were already activated previously via an IRAP session, this new recall was the "official" fix, maybe they will work with turn signals and in reverse now??) - Replace interior front passenger side door lock surround (it was loose)

Scott, Its always nice to have your expectations exceeded - doesn't happen very often! How many batteries are in your car? I had an 840 that had two full size batteries but I thought BMW did away with that, I know my X3 only has one. |

Has anyone verified how the cornering lights are operating in the X7? Given their height, they may be operating the way they are supposed to as coming on with a turn signal could mean shining into a car beside it.

Well, unfortunately I’ve noticed absolutely no changes to anything in the car. Upon picking up the car it took an iDrive reboot and 2 attempts to pair my wife’s iPhone before it finally worked. Cornering lights are the same as before, only come on with a hard turn of the wheel.
No BMW Care or Experience options in the menus. No other changes that I’ve noticed. If CarPlay issues persist, I’m going to start the discussions of a possible buy back. This is ridiculous! My wife is not happy. Update: Just got in the car to go to dinner, X5 won’t connect to either of our phones! Maybe they need to replace the Bluetooth and WiFi modules? If that’s possible.

Let's just say CarPlay connection is random, unpredictable, and unreliable and the statement that it won't connect if it's on another WiFi network is just superstition.

Put the second phone on BMW drive connect mode in Mobile device menu. Choose priority in the menu to have your phone be primary. So when you are alone in the car your phone is on Apple car play - your wife's is on BMW connect. when 2 of you are in the car - you are connected and she is just paired. (based on priority) |

I think the suggestion of only having 1 iPhone set to CarPlay may have helped a bit. I removed both our phones, re-paired my wife's with CarPlay enabled...then re-paired mine with just the BMW iDrive mode. So far it seems like my wife's phone is now connecting to CarPlay each morning when she leaves even though my phone is still within range.
Thank you for the suggestion! I'm hoping this "workaround" continues to work! Now if I could just get the BMW Care and Experience modes to show up.

1. I have problems with CarPlay even when mine is the only phone in the vicinity. 2. Can someone point me to the Care and Experience modes? What are they, where would I find them in iDrive, and why would I want them? |

Do you know how is this process to update actually going? I'm having 03/2019.45 in the menu described as "preparation for the new version completed. You'll be notified when this is ready for installation". Is this an automated process while the car is in park mode or will I have to go to a dealer for the job? Thanks
