iLevel: Dealer or someone with Ista/p
Gracenote: https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=780288
Bluetooth: www.bmw.com/update
Maps: Multiple ways

1) Dealer. Embarrassingly expensive
2) Individual vendors or sponsors on the forums. Raisonnable cost but you gotta pay at each update to have a new fsc code.
3) Other vendors with lifetime activation. The best and pretty cheap
4) By yourself with the correct tools to extract 1B file to generate an fsc

Yes it will work.

Ilevel: It's the integration level of all the collective versions of your programmed ECU's in the car. It's a simple question question of having your car up to date. Some like it, some say don't fix it if it ain't broken.

Dealers can charge anywhere from like 150 to 300$ to update your car or even 0 if you have problem during a warranty period. Or you can learn how to do it with the correct tools by yourself but it can be risky.

You can see it when your dealer prints the data from the key where:

iLevelBackup is the previous version
iLevelHO is the current version
iLevelPlant is the original version from the factory

Bluetooth

Simple download on a USB key from bmw.

Gracenote

It's the database for the info the songs of only CD's that you listen in the player, nothing else.

Maps

You need a fsc code to be able to update and the files also. If I remember well, some early 2010's couldn't be updated with USB

If you have Bluetooth problem, probably but the last update is at least 5 years old.

Hi guys I'm new here so please excuse any mistakes.

I live in the Dominican Republic as a pensioner and have just bought a used BMW X5 E70 xDrive30d and am in the process of fixing it up.

Because the Bluetooth doesn't communicate properly with my iPhone, I just wanted to do a software update from the on-board computer, but it's not as easy as I thought.

The software revisions I have is:
Multimedia: MX-003.004.031
Telephone: TX-003.004.031

If I try to download the .bin file via BMW.com for software updates with my VIN (WBAZW4105BL437986) in order to do the update myself via USB, there is only an error message during the download, I can't download the update file from BMW at all. Of course I contacted the BMW support via email and asked me to simply send the current software via email, but they only told me to contact a nearby BMW partner. As I said, I live in the Dominican Republic and there is no real BMW partner here, if only backyard workshops where there is more damage than before and it is therefore better to take care of the repairs yourself.

Long story short, what is the current software version for my vehicle and where can I easily get this .bin file from the Internet?

Thank you in advance for your helpful replies,

Greeting,
Jürgen

I posted the .bin files not long ago in the thread below. They work for NA vehicles, not sure if they will work for vehicles meant for other parts of the world but here it is

Just one more question, can I install the maps for navigation on my system and if so, where can I get them easily?

Thank you very much, I followed all the steps and it works perfectly!

Just a couple of remarks:

- FAT 32 format for USB drive. It does not work for NTFS format.
- It just worked by using the USB slot placed between both front seats (armrest), not the one placed inside the glove box.

I used the file called "UPD01008.bin" with last software version available.

Now Spotify songs are recognised by BMW's Bluetooth system and therefore now both song title and artist appear, whilst up to now the only information show at BMW's screen was "Various Artists - Various Songs".

Warm regards from Spain

Thanks for sharing the latest common updates! It's always good to stay up-to-date with software versions for a smooth Ways user experience. The North America Premium 2018-1 map is a great addition for navigation accuracy.

2018? 2021 is the latest that I've seen for NA Maps. I know a few posts above show 2022 but I haven't been able to track them down yet.
