TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS Your vehicle's compatibility for the Remote Software Upgrade depends on the hardware installed in your vehicle. A prerequisite is the Live Cockpit Professional navigation system.

Alternatively, you can conduct the following test to check whether your vehicle is compatible for the Remote Software Upgrade: "CAR" "Settings" "General settings" "Remote Software Upgrade" If "Remote Software Upgrade" does not display, the vehicle is not capable of Remote Software Upgrade. If "Remote Software Upgrade" is displayed, you can also display information about the version. "CAR" "Settings" "General settings" "Remote Software Upgrade" "Installed version." The Remote Software Upgrade has been installed ex works; due to hardware restrictions, the upgrade cannot be purchased at a later date.

And it has been officially made official that pretty much Every Single BMW model EXCEPT the X3 will have the option for a Digital Key with an iPhone. Pretty disappointing is a understatement.

I'd guess that they'll add it to the LCI in a year and didn't want to bother with a bit of new hardware now. They didn't add it to the 7 either which will have a new chassis in a year.

Not happy with this at all.
I just collected an x4 M40i and specifically spent more £ than I was going to to get idrive7 and live cockpit display thinking that automatically gave me remote updates ready for Android Auto etc. The BMW dealer knew my concerns and never once informed me this feature wouldn't be present. I upped my budget to get the 2020 model but I'm starting to think I should have saved £thousands and bought a lightly used 2019 model. In the UK we didn't get the engine performance increase anyway so all I have to show for the extra outlay is a half arsed version of ID7 and a playstation style live cockpit which imho is pretty cheap looking. Is a visit to the dealer the only option for software updates or can I do it via phone or laptop? |

Here's a couple of screen shots exemplifying how BMW has taken both sides on the X3/4 OTA update question. The first is from the site to check for software updates. It shows my car as a 2019, even though it's a 2020 and says that software will be updated automatically. The second is from the BMW Connected site. It says remote software updates are not available for my vehicle. WTF BMW?

They did leave it open ended though that the cars would get Android Auto. I have both Android (personal) and Apple (work) devices and could never get used to IOS. Kinda like AOL for phones. Here's to hoping they offer it as a free or paid update. |

Unfortunately, the Kia I had before had most of these features on my 2016 model and recently added digital Carkey too! Is there a way to retrofit digital car key at an additional cost? |

I believe it was deleted when I chose the remote start option. Which I found weird as one has nothing to do with the other. I actually take delivery tomorrow so I will confirm or ask my rep.

No G01/02 has Digital Key due to the deletion. Only one that is equipped with the Digital Key and not deleted is the iX3 |
