You need to go to the dealership. No remote updates with the G01/G02 platform.

I'm waiting to see one get an update to 20-07. It's not often a car less than 1 year old is getting programmed unless it's for something else or a module replacement.

I took mine in today specifically for the update. Service advisor said he heard something about Android auto, mentioning that the service manager would know more. A few hours later got a call that the car was ready. Android auto is working with my pixel 4. Still playing around with it.

I dropped mine off this morning to finally get the update to fix my surround view. We will see what version I end up with. I inquired about the July update, but couldn't get a definitive if they already had it loaded.

A quick review of my experience so far:
Connectivity: initially, had trouble getting my phone to connect. On the phone it said "looking for android auto" as a notification, but could not get it to work. Had to remove the connected app from my phone, delete the phone in idrive and re-pair it. This may have been specific to my phone as my wife's pixel 3 opened android auto first time with no issues. When starting the car, sometimes it opens AA automatically, sometimes not. I think I need my phone unlocked for it to open, so I'll try setting up smartlock so it unlocks when connected to bluetooth. The car needs to be running or with a single press of the start button to turn on all connectivity, if you try to open AA while only with accessory power, it doesn't work and doesn't explain why. Generally, if it can't open AA, there are no helpful error messages or indications why it isn't working so that can be frustrating. Screens: Looks good, nice layout on the wide center display with a large map and details on the current media. HUD and instrument display has basic directions with an arrow, distance and street name. We lose the lane diagrams and mini-map that BMW nav provides. Instrument display still has media description and album art. Media list loses the ability to scroll through the playlist in the HUD. Interaction: AA responds to hey google, or you can trigger it with a long press of the voice button. Regular idrive responds to a short press. Idrive controller is nicely integrated with AA, pushing/turning the wheel moves the selection as expected. Media, comm, nav, back, etc buttons switch between screens. It's easy to go back to idrive via the menu button if needed. Quirks: A few bugs where spotify would pause itself and need to be toggled to keep playing. On one short trip the HUD said calculating route while the center display showed the proper directions. Somehow I'm now subscribed to the new traffic camera information for the next 10 days only, not sure if this is related to the idrive upgrade? |

BMW Maps: Looks mostly the same to me. Route calculation does seem to be quite a bit faster with the cloud connectivity, but I don't see much change other than that. Connected Charging: N/A BMW Digital Key: We don't have the hardware BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant: Confirmed the new graphics that point to the driver as I speak. Opening windows/sunroof doesn't work. Changing the drive mode works |

Another long shot . . . I'm wondering whether Waze nav instructions also show up in the IP and HUD.

"The highlights of the Android Auto at BMW are the seamless and wireless integration and the intelligent adoption of turn-by-turn guidance from Google Maps™ in the instrument cluster’s Info Display as well as in the Head-Up Display."
From the release notes it seems that the HUD can use Google Maps but only from AA and Apple Carplay. :'(

FABULOUS! So there may be hope that we can get it with CarPlay as well. Great news.
