Update your vehicle software safely and conveniently over the air.

Always equipped with the latest software version. It is a good and safe feeling to know that your BMW is always up to date and that you have the most recent software on board. And that is exactly what Remote Software Upgrade offers – comfort without stress. By updating your vehicle software over the air you save time while receiving selected function upgrades or new functions free of charge.

HOW THE REMOTE SOFTWARE UPGRADE WORKS.

Learn how to update the software of your BMW via Remote Software Upgrade.

As soon as new software for your BMW is available, you will be notified of it via push message on the My BMW App – as long as it is installed on your Smartphone and connected with the vehicle – or via the control display of your car. Whether in the app or in your BMW, you can open the upgrade and find out which contents are to be updated or which functions are to be enhanced. The Remote Software Upgrade offers you two ways to download the new software: either via the My BMW App or automatically while driving directly via your vehicle. After the download is successfully completed, you will be prompted to confirm installation of the new software, and in doing so, start it. During installation, your car will not be drivable for ca. 20 minutes. After the upgrade, you will be informed of the successful installation before your next trip. If desired, you can call up and view the contents of the upgrade again.

Whether your car is compatible with Remote Software Upgrade depends on the hardware installed in your car. Almost all vehicles with BMW Operating System 7 are compatible. You can determine whether your vehicle is one of them by making the following check. Select the following in the Menu: “My Car” > “Settings” > “General Settings” > “Remote Software Upgrade”

If “Remote Software Upgrade” is not shown, the car is not compatible with Remote Software Upgrade.

The Remote Software Upgrade is factory installed, a retroactive purchase is not possible due to hardware restrictions. If your car is not compatible, you can have the latest software installed at any time by your BMW Service Partner.

The requirements may vary according to country, vehicle model, equipment and vehicle condition.
