My 2017 was updated to EVO 2017-2 in September and supposedly fixed. Of course it wasn't and maps still aren't pushing Has anyone had any luck or know of a fix that is in? Service bulletin? Anything? |

Dealer is blowing smoke up the arse, they don't have a fix. Typically 4 updates are released per year, no ones car will get all 4 automatically or even 1 if you are lucky and the chance is high that if you do get an update it won't be the most current anyways.
My dealer knows this and has offered me a usb update anytime a new map comes out. The catch to this is that I don't want to waste 1 hr at the dealer every 3 months for an update. I'll make due with an update to whatever is current when my car goes in for whatever scheduled service it needs. So basically a yearly update come oil change time. |

Plus, OTA is a STANDARD FEATURE that has never worked and BMW doesn't care! Losing respect for the brand. |

I haven't gone back because they scratched my 666M wheel last time and it was a pain getting them to get it replaced.

By BMW offering the OTA map updates for 3 years it means that it no longer requires a FSC to load maps. Meaning, any map data update will load by USB for 3 years as well. If you can get the map data "somewhere" and record it in an USB stick then you can load the map data while you are driving -no need to go to the dealer.
BMW knows that this OTA map updates simply is not working well since late 2015 so don't wait for a fix any time soon. |

Interestingly, while driving to the golf course on Thursday, I got an OTA map update. Only the second time I have received one, but glad they appear to be working again. Mine is a 2016 with just over 20k miles, which I have owned since 4/16.

OTA has always been working, the complaint here is the frequency of the updates. The base gets updated 4 times per year. Would you say 2 regional updates in 2 years is "working" |
