No problem. The mods put something like 10 copies of this thread out there for all of the applicable platforms. I didn't get a chance to update the first thread with a status update here.

After all, don't you guys have bigger fish to fry like oil pump issues

in Show option- when I select 1 (instead of 5 or 10), I get a few e-mails in the same "row" as my text messages so on the left side of my screen.

Here is the latest BMW Bluetooth Update just released in the last 24 hours. Install using USB. This is version UPD01005. But it did not help for the IOS6 problem as far as I can tell in regards to the emails not showing up in iDrive.

http://www.bmw.com/bluetooth

The PDF says its still only for IOS 5?

So it will be a Apple IOS 6 update to fix the problem.

Do I have to have enhanced BT for this to work?

The BMW website tell which year of manufacture suits your car?

This is a Bluetooth update and does not effect the Combox, it is a manufacture year specific update?

Sure this effects the combox. This update is for combox. It's updating the combox Bluetooth stack.

Don't think it effects the Combox, others are saying there is seperate software for the Combox and it has not been released yet?

Next step wait for update???

Hi all
I have just updated my software on my Dec 2010 X3 (F25) to try to make Office work (texts and emails) but still no joy.

The file update was UPD01115.bin.

On reading the accompanying notes it says its compatible with iPhone devices running ios 5.
I am running ios 6.
Is this the problem? and if so does anyone know of an ios 6 update or any other way of getting it working

Mike

Are you sure about UPD01115.bin? To my knowledge the latest is UPD01005.bin and there are no fixes or enhancements to iOS6 yet.

mikey_1686 · 10-21-2012, 01:22 PM

sorry tlp
fingers quicker than my brain
should be UPD01005.bin

Fars · 10-22-2012, 03:12 PM

Hi guys! Unfortunately my first post here is about a problem. I have an E92 LCI manufactured in march 2010. I have an iPhone 5 with the latest iOS 6.1.4. I cannot connect it via bluetooth with the iDrive and i cannot use the Office features (Emails, SMS, Calendar). Bluetooth calls work just fine though. After pairing the phone with the car, there is no Office option in the iDrive bluetooth submenu for the iPhone, just calls and audio. In the iPhone settings i cannot turn on "show notifications" in bluetooth settings for the BMW 50677 connection (my car). I have downloaded the UPD01006.bin update package, but the only update i get from it is MX-1.12.00. HELP!
