If an upgrade is available, information about the new software version is displayed in the My BMW App. The data for the upgrade can then be downloaded to a mobile device, for instance via an existing WLAN connection. The data can then be transmitted from the mobile device to the vehicle. This transmission method accelerates the download of the data, for instance in areas with limited mobile network availability.
1. Download the upgrade in the My BMW App to the smartphone.
2. Follow the instructions in the My BMW App.
3. Establish connection to the vehicle.
iOS: Connect Bluetooth audio and Wi-Fi.
Android: connect WLAN.
The data transfer of the upgrade from the mobile device to the vehicle occurs in the background only while driving.
4. Follow the instructions on the control display.
