Latest BMW Media Update
Has anyone installed the latest BMW Media update?
I updated as I thought it was a good idea and now the sms messages from my iPhone are no longer appearing |

When you say Latest BMW media updates. What version are you referring to? Basically version and date of release. Saying its NEW, allude that there is a new version available. This will also depend on build date (VIN). |

so, Windows 10 a no? Need a new laptop for my mum, quick enough not to stress her out but nothing spectacular. I'm assuming it's all Windows 10 now? (I'm 100% Mac!)

Another thing that annoys me is the "explorer" functionality is soooooooo slow. Double click on the computer icon and it takes ages for the file explorer window to render, (seems to struggle polling the nas shares which win 7 never did) and save as from a web page etc, it's just really sluggish. And with an i7 3770 running 4.5ghz and 16gb ram, ssd hdd and xfire 7950 the base os should not run slow in the slightest! And not to mention it has already crashed more times than Win 7 has in the last 2 years!! I'm in 2 minds just to stick the image of win 7 I took before the upgrade back on.

How do you update? Also, how do you get SMS messages on screen? I just thought you could make calls...didn't realise you could also get your messages on screen too?? |

Older cars download onto a USB then plug in. For SMS, make sure you have enhanced Bluetooth coded (if not ordered) and messages are in the office function. If using an iPhone you need to enable notifications from the phone's Bluetooth option menu once connected.

It's odd.... I've read about the OTA update, but mine doesn't show it (Dec 14 build). Only option is to update over USB. Oh, and I have Pro-Nav.

Mine's a Mar 2012 build but have previously done OTA updates rather than USB. Option was in an obscure menu off the iDrive IIRC. I've got pro nav, EBT (not coded) , and Apps if that makes any difference.

Have you tried reporting the issue to the dealer etc? Does BMW accept there is a problem? |

OK, now running this same version now - I coded Siri and EBT and all are still working after the update.
I suppose the update gives better compatibility. I dont think album artwork is shown via bluetooth though... Last edited by x-m4n; 08-25-2015 at 05:08 AM.. |
