Telephone: TB-006.025.001 Media is also the same number. There is supposedly an update (doesn't show the number), but it only downloads as a bin file and I'm having trouble getting the car to accept it. Maybe that's a good thing since it seems to operate fine as it is. |

It accepted my VIN and I got an update downloaded, but the car says it is not compatible.
Too bad... |

You are probably getting the not compatible error because the software version that the website is serving up is older than what is already installed in your car

FWIW my M40i has all options less carplay and was built in 01/18.

I downloaded the update, and it's a tar-file that you can peek into. Much older stuff than in my September build.

Anyway, the internal dates for my downloaded UPD09032.bin update are Jan 29, 2018 and older (around 10AM Germany time). Bleh. |

FYI - there is a new update out on the site now. It's now serving up UPD09041.bin (previous, UPD09032.bin)
https://www.bmw.com/en/footer/software-updates.html I haven't applied it yet, but from the notes it looks like these are the new versions: TB 001.063.040 MB 001.062.040 HB 001.062.032 |

What's up with BMW and these weird version numbers? Poking inside the update, there are interesting bits like: Comment: Software Update 09/2018Has anyone tried to install this? Not sure I want to be a guinea pig. Edit: I further poked around in the previous version (UPD9032.bin), and found the corresponding items: Comment: Software Update 05/2018How the heck do you get updates with ancient timestamps? Was the clock really that screwed up on their build system? (Of course, this assumes I'm interpreting the internal metadata correctly. It's confusing, and appears to only apply to software versions that we're not using.) Last edited by darrylo; 12-13-2018 at 01:29 AM.. |

The update also appears to be looking for specific (and mostly odd) version numbers. Mine is not included, and neither is Rockyz's. However, abcsoup's version (6.6.6 -- what an awesome version) is included, and so I'm surprised that it didn't work for him (it worked for Tenacious X who also had that version). |

Do the car recognize the usb stick, and show what's on it? If not, I guess same requirements as for the map update is valid, which I don't remember out of my head now, but FAT32 disk at least...

Mine did recognize the update on the stick, but wouldn't update, saying it isn't compatible with my car (despite having used the VIN to get to the UPD09041.bin file download.. )

It looks like BMW is trying to fix their software update portal!
The form is now redesigned, and requires full 17 characters VIN number to check for update. My VIN shows that my car is already up to date. Share your outcome. |

Thanks. Mine says up-to-date, too. Not surprising, I guess, as it only appears to be an update for phone and USB compatibility.
