IDRIVE Update Please

Finally got my x5 back from BMW of Sioux Falls. They replaced everything that was needed for the N63 campaigne. They told me they could not update my firmware for idrive. because of my production date. Its a 2011 x5 50i. What other options do i have. Anyone in Omaha or Sioux Falls area that can upgrade this for me for a fee. Thanks.

What if you simply don't have the right option package?

If a dealer can't do it, why would an individual be able to?

I pair my 2012, select external device and my phone and can stream just fine. The update you do with a simple thumb drive via the glove box USB port

Seems you are lacking an option.

6VC CONTROL COMBOX


The important thing for Bluetooth streaming is the combox.

You could probably do a retrofit
Here's one example (http://www.bimmerretrofit.com/store/...&product_id=65)

There's a lot of other places doing it also.

The combo box was not added to the 2011 x5 until the 2nd week of October 2010 production date. I forget when 2011 started but the MY2011 stopped in March of 2011 and 2012's started in April 2011
