My understanding is that the My BMW app should receive a push notification when update is available

Similar to the piped in engine noise through speakers, the new Canadian software update programs synthetic maple syrup scents to be distributed through the central air system when detecting foul, non-maple odors.

Also available aftermarket to Vermont residents.

Just finished installing mine, pretty lengthy process.

Haven't figured out how to configure the M sound control, anyone try it yet?

If anyone is interested, the update info:

By the way, did anyone notice a loud monotonous tone while it was installing the upgrade around the 87% mark? Wasn't sure if it was a loud whiny fan in idrive or some warning tone!

I know you meant well but the Canadian software update will smell of bacon.
Except for the nation of Quebec where it gotta be poutine.

Yes. Seemed to have no effect

With every update you need to reconfigure this in the car settings, under precondition and ventilation; in the climate control section.

I got a call from my SA yesterday about a recall notice on my car. Something having to do with the battery, but he had no details at the time. Battery? Possible malfunction? Booked an appointment for this morning. Figured I might as well combine the Software Update in the same trip. They installed version # 2021.11.30. It seems like this is what you get when doing a Dealer install as opposed to 2021.07.50 if you download the update over the air. In the real world I doubt that there is any significant difference between the two, but I am just dropping this here as a heads up for those who just must have the latest and greatest.

As to the recall, I will let the SIB explain the details. Mine was already in place.
