How do I update BMW ConnectedDrive apps and services in my BMW with Operating System 7?

If you have recently purchased additional services or are instructed to do so by BMW, it is recommended to perform an Update Services in your vehicle to refresh the connection.

Depending on your vehicle's Model Year and Make, navigate to "BMW Assist", "ConnectedDrive" or "Apps" using your iDrive controller.

Under BMW Assist or ConnectedDrive:

  • Open "Options" (physical button surrounding your iDrive controller).
  • Click on "Update BMW Assist".

Under Apps:

  • Click on "All Apps".
  • Open "Options" (physical button surrounding your iDrive controller).
  • Click on "Update apps and services".

Once the update completes, we then recommend shutting the vehicle off and allowing a few minutes before restarting the vehicle to check the connection.
