USB Update Help Needed
OK I'm trying to update my Bluetooth Interface. I have 6NH.
I've downloaded the relevant file from www.bmw.com/update This file is: UPD03002 (Latest Version, 5.93 MB) "Update for vehicles with production date from Juli 2011 to present" This downloads as UPD03002.bin I then unzipped to get the following files: SWIP_00001122_007_000_075 (xml doc) SWUP_00001120_007_000_075.bin SWUP_00001123_007_000_075.bin I've put theses onto a memory stick and plugged into USB socket in armrest but on selecting update software option in the iDrive there is no USB recognised. Have tried two different USB sticks, tried reformatting them and there's no other files on them. Any help appreciated. |

Try plugging in the drive and leaving for a few minutes before attempting the upgrade.This happened to me (on F10) I 'THINK' that's how I resolved it.

Don't unzip anyhing. iDrive does that. Put the raw download on there. Make sure nothing else but that one file is on the thumb drive. Don't put it in a folder, has to be in the root of the thumb drive alone.
Start the engine, wait for iDrive to fully boot up, past splash screen, etc. The thumb drive goes into the armrest USB port, not the glove compartment. After the thumb drive is inserted, wait 20 seconds, let it be recognized. Don't rush it. Go to settings, hit Update, it'll work. BJ |
