Download and install a Remote Software Upgrade with your My BMW App – BMW How-To

Learn in this video how to download and install a Remote Software Upgrade with your My BMW App. This is how it works:

1. With a push notification, your My BMW App informs you when a new software upgrade is available for your BMW.
2. Download the software upgrade, we recommend using Wi-Fi to save cost and time.
3. In your BMW, check your connections in the mobile devices menu and connect your phone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
4. For Wi-Fi connection click on “New device”, “Internet, apps” and scan the QR code with your smartphone.
5. Now the upgrade is uploaded to your BMW when you drive.
6. Once the upload is completed, follow the installation instructions on the Central Information Display.

The upload process can be interrupted at any time and automatically resumes when the connection between your smartphone and your vehicle is re-established and the vehicle engine is running. Please watch our other How-To video where we show the installation process.

The BMW Driver’s Guide app specifically describes the equipment and functions included in the vehicle. The Owner’s Handbook is available as an app in many countries. You will find further information on the Internet at: https://www.bmw.com/bmw_drivers_guide

This shit doesn't work, I downloaded it into the BMW app but there is no information prompt on my dashboard display, log a support call and they promised to call you back ? Guess what they didn't.

Paolo Cabrini says:

I don't have the item "internet apps" in the mobile devices menu, how is it possible?

Ron Cahoon says:

This software update is a hassle and waste of time. We paid a small fortune for this car. Please fix it BMW.

Han Lim says:

Fix the damn system what a disaster. Don’t you hear what customers say? It’s not working

Adam Hughes says:

Useless system been downloading and stuck on 92% for months. Cant reset or download from the car.

Jo G says:

Gibt es das Video auch in der Sprache des Herstellers?

A Z says:

So the vehicle need to be Engine On to do the software update? Something not right here?

UltraSupra says:

This is the most boneheaded software upgrade system ever created!! It's so damn counterintuitive to go throught the process. Why can't you just let the system in the car install it automatically? Whoever invented this should be fired immediately!!

Ayo Adeniran says:

The way BMW installs software is retarded. First, I have to download it to my phone, then, I have to connect my phone to my car, which, takes quite a while to establish a connection. Then I have to be driving. Yes, I can stay in the car and leave the car on so the software can transfer, but that is also retarded. Its 2021. Why can't the car download the software itself. Oh wait, it needs to the ability to connect to WiFi. Wait, why can't a car made in 2021 connect to WiFi again?

M VdB says:

using Android.
upgrade downloaded on phone.
can not be uploaded to BMW, previous upgrade also didn´t upload.
helpdesk doesn´t even know how it works…pathetic.
previously they claimed: you should start driving and then it automatically downloads and installs, it did after a week, this time it does nothing.
but don´t claim it can be UPLOADED by phone.
youtube video is terrible, doesn´t explain how to connect WIFI/BLUETOOTH/APPS.
all three are marked in my car but my phone shows sometimes wifi and bluetooth are connected, never the apps.
BMW, make it idiot proof and make a YOUTUBE video which is CLEAR, explain EVERY SINGLE STEP, video for IOS and video for ANDROID.
and
stop with this annoying music in your HOW-TO videos…you might think it is "flashy" , it is NOT.

Lindsay Hall says:

Mine has been connected to WiFi on my phone for over 24 hours but the download has been stuck on 55% all the way through,doesn’t seem to be a way to restart it?

Marco F says:

Not working for my 330. The interface does not give access to "apps" altought I follow each and every step over and over again.

Lavaza Koffee says:

I doný have option as remote software update in the MyBMW and in the car so.How to add?

Assasinato2 says:

I’ve downloaded the file on mybmw app and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are connected but when I stop the vehicle I can’t update my bmw any suggestions? I’ve been looking for information on this troubleshoot for 2 weeks now

J.h says:

Als Fahrer eines deutschen Premium-Herstellers erwarte ich Videos in deutscher Sprache!

Friedrich Gronbach says:

My BMW APP
Warum muss ich die gesamte Scheiße auf englisch anhören?
Mein BMW ist aus München und spricht deutsch! Ich habe mir einen BMW und keinen Nissan gekauft und erwarte, als deutscher Kunde behandelt zu werden – das ist kein Rassismus, sondern hat mit Kultur zu tun!
Friedrich Gronbach

Jaybu says:

No android?

Brian Adams says:

Stuck on upload..49% for hours…geez!
