Navigation Update

Kailec · 05-05-2017, 08:19 PM

Hey all, picking up my first BMW tomorrow and wanted to do the navigation update. Only thing though, seems like the process takes 1 hour roughly, am I able to drive while doing this? If I can't drive while updating, am I supposed to just leave the running? Isn't that a huge waste of gas/battery (if I just power on without starting the engine)?

Yes you can drive while it's updating.

Sweet thanks! Can I also turn off the car as well (and leave the USB plugged in), and have it auto-resume when I turn the car back on?

It's not an over the air update? I think it will update over the air while it is off.

Newer cars do the over the air, not sure about older ones (I think those are still USB updated). Or is it just the connected drive models that do over the air?
