I had the upgrade done on my car. Now my car honks when I lock it when the car is running which is irritating and something I'll look to code off sooner or later but what's more irritating is that my idrive will randomly restart every once in a while. Annoying when talking on the phone or listening to the radio.

I'm not talking about the beep noise that you can enable/disable in vehicle settings, I'm talking about the horn going off a couple times and is extremely loud. The car used to not honk the horn when locking the door while the car is running but it started doing that after they did the phone upgrade and whatever coding they performed.

If the upgrade is free you should get it because you can always get your coding redone but the upgrade won't be free forever.

It didn't prevent my car from being retuned

FWIW, I don’t think losing your coding should influence the decision much. Coding your features for lights, seatbelts, etc is pretty quick to re-do. If you’re not able to do it yourself, there are folks out there that can do it for you relatively inexpensively.
One question: does anyone know if I was to upgrade my 2015 from next to evo, would that give me remote start capability using connected services from my phone? That along with a bigger screen might be a good reason to upgrade. |

Has anyone who has gotten this upgrade done been able to retune their vehicles? I'm wondering if I'll be forced to look elsewhere and need to have my vehicle bench flashed. I was using VF's CS tune before the update. Apparently all new software updates from BMW have relocked ecu's with a newer bootloader that requires a bench flash to unlock only.

Could someone explain what exactly is being upgraded (hardware / software)? My f82 (Dec 16 build) is going in for the upgrade next week. Is it a complete iDrive update taking it to the last gen version ? If so kudos to BMW…

As yours is a 2017, they simply flash your iLevel to the latest software version telling your equipment to use VoLTE and not attempt GSM Voice Communication. No hardware is replaced. |

The software on my 2017 F82 was upgraded for free as part of the current campaign and I think I am feeling some nuanced differences in how the car handles, throttle response and louder/harsher burbling. Does the current ilevel make changes in this regard (My car was not upgraded since 2017)?

However, it will reset everything you may have custom coded back to default. And any 2020+ car may have the DME locked again. |

Just for clarification..this will only wipe simple coding fewtures like auto side mirror folding, auto roll up windows, etc?
It won't touch things like my gts coding (mdm, differential, gearbox) |
