USB stick on the way, I'm planning on trying with a late 09 build (no software update option in menu), 2010 MY E90 LCI. Will order FSC code after I can get USB stick to be recognized in car. I'll keep everyone here posted!

Who knew that getting an iDrive firmware update would prove to be so
difficult..? Dealers in my area are not interested in doing this for me unless "something is wrong with the system which they would diagnose before running the update" ~ I guess business is too good! |

Add another successful update to the list. Sergej is awesome... Super quick. Also thanks to those that were seeding, still took almost 3 days to download though!

question to the dealer...Perhaps I said too much..LOL They're telling me I can get the 2013 maps and firmware update for $375ish plus taxes (ouch). That may be my last resort. |

The heated steering wheel malfunction... does it come on and then shut off something like 10 seconds later? then if you shut the car off and restart, it usually works unless it's really cold out? There was a TSB on that and in fact I just posted to that thread a few minutes ago. I *think* I fixed mine but haven't had a cold day all week (just put the new module in on Saturday.) It's the module in the steering wheel, not a firmware thing.

For those of you having potential problems with your firmware, try looking here:
http://www.bmw.com/update have your vin number (last 7 digits) ready. Its really for bluetooth/phone/audio/usb device updates I cannot say whether or not any pertinent updates are available that would help for this, but Im sure its worth a look. |

Try emailing him and he will tell you. It is pretty cheap though.

Well I can see their reluctance to do it as 'goodwill' since it's all labor and it does take a long time. My car had to stay overnight when it got the firmware updated since it was a several hour ordeal. Not sure if independents can do it or not. Might be worth taking the hit this time on price just to get the feature so future updates can be DIY for much cheaper. Now if you don't plan on hanging onto the car then I'd just forget the whole thing.

I heard back from a dealer, and going to book there. They're charging me 2 hours. It's true that biting the bullet now will allow for easier and less expensive updates in the future. Thanks for hearing me whine guys.. |
