BMW REMOTE SOFTWARE UPGRADE 22-07.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BMW REMOTE SOFTWARE UPGRADE 22-07.
LOOK FORWARD TO THE FOLLOWING IMPROVEMENTS.
FUNCTIONS AND FUNCTIONAL IMPROVEMENTS 22-07.
PERSONALISATIONS.
Improvements to Digital Owner Key and radio settings.
Enhanced driver recognition: Extension of application scenarios.
My Modes: Expansion of existing modes.
BMW INTELLIGENT PERSONAL ASSISTANT.
New visualization of the speech dialog.
The new visualization of the speech dialog consists of light spheres in different sizes and brightness levels. This makes the voice assistant more expressive. With this upgrade, it can also reflect emotional states and application-specific icons for navigation, entertainment and communication. You can choose between harmonious visualization and expressive visualization based on the human appearance. A transcription of the spoken texts is displayed below the visualization. (only for selected vehicles)
More information about unused functions.
Your BMW has a multitude of functions that you may not know about. For this reason, the scope of functions that your BMW can point out has been expanded, provided that these are available in your vehicle: Map modes, home address setup, push-to-talk press-hold, eSIM and battery heat management for optimized DC charging. In addition, there is learning navigation, My Modes “Expressive,” My Modes “Relax,” configuration of the combined display and the Head-up display, as well as location-dependent charging settings. (only available for vehicles with OS8)
Widget and player enhancements.
With this upgrade, on the one hand the display logic of unused functions of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant Widget changes, and on the other hand the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant receives a new layout. Both display options now also show the following functions: Map modes, set up home address, push-to-talk press-hold, eSIM, battery heat management for optimized DC charging, learning navigation, My Modes “Expressive,” My Modes “Relax,” configuration of the combined display and Head-up display, as well as location-dependent charging settings. (only available for vehicles with OS8)
Proactive indications of unused functions.
To increase driving comfort, the proactive suggestions have been expanded to include the Active Cruise Control and Parking Assistant functions, if included in your vehicle configuration. If you do not use these functions or only rarely use them, your BMW recommends that you activate them in suitable situations.
NAVIGATION.
Active navigation guidance: Detection of necessary lane change.
The active navigation guidance of the Steering Assistant detects a necessary, upcoming lane change in order to follow the navigation destination on motorways. An upcoming, necessary lane change is optimally prepared in the direction of the appropriate motorway exit. When the opening is available, the driver is given a lane change notification: “Trigger lane change to follow route”. After confirmation by the driver, the necessary lane changes are made until exiting.*
Provision of navigation data to various in-vehicle control units and functions.
Further development of the Advanced Driving Assistance System Navigation (ADAS NG) protocol benefits from the provision of additional navigation data. In practice this means, among other things, that functionality of the Speed Limit Assistant or Video-Augmented Reality has been improved. In addition, further optimizations were carried out. (only available for vehicles with OS8)
Preparation for context-related recommendations in the navigation system.
The upgrade prepares for the technical capability of your infotainment system to display personalized and contextual recommendations from selected third-party providers as well as offers from BMW in the future as part of potential new services from BMW based on route planning, current location, and vehicle data. The upgrade also includes preparation for the associated enabling of the online-capable search function of your navigation system.
DRIVER ASSISTANT.
- Lane keeping assist systems
- Front collision mitigation
- Parking assistants
Adjustment of the warning signal.
A warning signal is emitted if steering intervention of the Lane Departure Warning is repeated. From the third steering intervention of the vehicle within the next three minutes, the warning signal is extended by an additional ten seconds with each subsequent steering intervention. With the upgrade, driver activity resets the duration of the warning signal to the original length (only available for vehicles that have Lane Departure Warning installed ex works).*
Optimized steering intervention for increased driving comfort.
Steering interventions of your Lane Departure Warning when leaving the lane are smoother, as the steering duration and steering forces adapt more to the individual driving situation, i.e. the slower you leave the lane (for example), the smoother your vehicle will steer.
Your BMW now aligns itself close to the lane marking that had previously been crossed to ensure that you return to an optimum driving position faster.*
Support in the event of hazards with oncoming traffic.
Front collision mitigation with brake intervention helps prevent collisions. The system can detect oncoming vehicles. In an emergency, the system can prevent a collision or significantly reduce the impact speed.*
Assistance in the event of danger in rear-end collision situations.
If the front collision mitigation clearly detects the end of a traffic jam, the system can bring forward the intervention time of the brake intervention and, in an emergency, ensure a significant reduction in the impact speed.*
Exit warning: Receive a warning when leaving your BMW.
When leaving your BMW, the exit warning can warn you about approaching road users and help to prevent collisions.*
Panorama View: Activated by GPS point.
It is now possible to activate a panoramic view in the curved display using GPS data. To do this, set a GPS point in the system. As soon as you reach these coordinates with your BMW, Panorama View is automatically started.
Trailer Assistant: Help when reversing.
When reversing with a coupled trailer, the Trailer Assistant helps you by actively steering.*
NOTE FROM THE DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS: REASON FOR NON-ACTIVATION.
CONNECTIVITY.
BMW ConnectedDrive Upgrades: Increase your driving comfort.
After installing this software, the special equipment options Driving Assistant Plus, steering wheel heating, seat heating and high beam assist are available in the ConnectedDrive Store for a fee, if they are not already included in your vehicle configuration.
Apple CarPlay®: Optimization of speech recognition and new compass.
The detection algorithm has been optimized to make your BMW even better aware of the keyword “Hey Siri” in German, English, Mandarin and Japanese – along with other improvements. In addition, the instrument cluster now displays the arrival time and a compass on the navigation map. This requires activation in the settings of your iPhone. This is not available in all countries and only for vehicles with OS8.
SIMPLIFIED OPERATIONS.
Expanded voice control: Extensive range of functions
Thermal comfort package: Change of operating option for panel heating
