2020 230i iDrive upgrade

Hi,

I've got a 5 months old 2020 230i (USA). I took it to the dealer yesterday for an airbag recall, and to my surprise they ugpraded the iDrive firmware (I've got the small screen, without navigation).

Original firmware :
Telephone: TT-002.109.004
Media: MT-002.109.004

New firmware:
Telephone: TT-002.126.001
Media: MT-002.126.001

By the way, they also reverted all my coding in the process :-(

Is there any way to know what was improved or changed? Like a version change log typical of all software?

Thanks!
Gonza

You can go to https://www.bmw.com/en/footer/software-updates.html and type in your VIN and open the software update PDF, and look for the version numbers. My software numbers are different (I have M240i/Nav/Carplay), but for instance the update I did was

"Phone
▷ The complete call list is transmitted (iPhone
8, 8 Plus, X).
Multimedia
▷ Complete name is displayed in the instru‐
ment cluster when making a phone call with
Apple CarPlay (iPhone 8, 8 Plus, X)."

If you don't have carplay and want it even with the small screen without nav you can still get it. Reach out to Steve at codemybimmer.ca I have a 2018 without nav and the small screen. I upgraded to the larger screen and coded it in myself and then Steve coded in carplay for me. Works perfectly. You will need WiFi though. If you don't have it you should be able to add it as well. You would have to remove your headunit and check for the connection first and install the WiFi antenna yourself.
