I believe most people here complaining about idrive 8 have not upgraded their vehicle yet to give it a chance. It’s a lot cleaner than its predecessor. The fact that people are complaining about being distracted when interacting with the touch screen and driving are just creating controversy cause they’re bored. We all interact with our smart phones (which are touch screens and lack buttons much like most vehicles manufactured these days) while driving so what’s the difference between being distracted by your phone display and the infotainment?
As for the OTA update I can’t see why they would allow you to upgrade to 8.5 when the screens look identical even if there are hardware differs inside. A 5 year old iPhone can still upgrade to the latest OS with different outdated hardware. The only time they disallow people to update to latest OS is when they decide or the hardware becomes so outdated that the OS would not perform up to one’s standards with regards to speed and performance. Had this issue with a 2015 MacBook updated to latest OS and slow as molasses.
