Update UPD01008.bin

Looks like there are 2 places where we can get ConnectedDrive updates where one appears to have a newer update:

http://www.bmw.com/update: upd01008.bin
http://www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/nav...update_vin.jsp: upd01006.bin

I have been on 1006 since that was the only one I've seen on the page I was using (the second link) so about to update to 1008. I'm 99.999% sure that the latest update (or any future ones) won't enable DragonDrive but I reserve the right to hope for the 0.0001%...

Strange. When I enter my VIN (for my '15 X3 and '15 235) I get this bin update file # (which is already installed):

UPD05062 (23.1 MB)

yeah weird, this gives two different files for my car.

I've updated before using the 5021 file from bmw.com/update but the other site says 5011 is available. What gives?

Is there any changelog for these updates?

What benefits do we get from updating with upd01008.bin? And do these updates help with bluetooth connectivity problems or issues e.g. with latest phone OS?

I want to be up-to-date anyway but would be nice to know!

Says not for my car

When I go to the update site and input my VIN, I get UPD05074.BIN

When I try to upgrade, it says version I have is newer.

Here are my software versions. What gives.

Media: MN-003.001.002
Phone: TN-003.001.002

Readme file is all about 002 and lower. Why does UPDATE say this is the file for my VIN?

The update site does not know what version you currently have installed. It just gives the latest available online that should fit with your option.

The online version is not always the latest.
First the factory gets the latest versions, then the dealers system, then online.

So your car may have a later version installed (as with your case here) than what is available online

I just updated my F25 to the UPD01008.bin and my Telephone version is now TX-003.005.008. My cell phone is a Samsung S6+ and I'm not able to pair my phone via bluetooth. Can't find the BMW-XXXXX to pair with. I was able to pair it with my very old Samsung S3. Is there another update?

contacts do not load anymore

I have a 2010 535i xdrive. checking with BMW says my software is up to date. I have seen other places where it indicates I may need to install UPD01008.bin. However I cannot find where to download that as it seems to have been taken down by BMW. Any help you can give me will be helpful so I can get my contacts back on my car.

Welcome to the forum....
Though this is a X3 forum, some info can be shared across various models.

The link to the files in the 1st post works, so I'm not sure what's wrong on your end

Went ahead and updated my CIC fitted F25 M-Sport. Was having issues with spotify previously but now all is working well. Connects to my iPhone and the Spotify app in BMW apps works seamlessly.

Nice.
