Thanks for the great video. I have 8.5 with my X%. I have added short cuts related to Apple Car Play apps, but they dissappear after my next entry into the car. Is there a fix for this?
Speaking from experience….If you own a BMW and don’t subscribe to this great channel @BeamerView then you are missing out on an immense amount of information that will help you. I highly recommend this channel.
Thank you!! 🙏
Another very informative video Thanks. Have you tried playing video from a usb stick on idrive 8.5 as I believe it has the hardware for this to work. Thanks
Haven’t tried that one. I’ve been hearing the hard drive has been removed and music would not be playable. So I doubt video would either.
Very, very useful video. Can I set up tire pressure as a shortcut, so a single shortcut click will show me each of my tire’s PSI? Thank you.
Thank you. I remember you being able to do that in the last generation idrive.
Try going to the button that gets you to that screen. You should be able to click and hold on it and get it to work.
I do not have a BMW. However, as you are a Genius, I would have hoped and still hope that you dig further and get a precise answer as soon as you get your hands on an 8.5 BMW - then post your exact finding here. Thank you.
Hey, great video... Quick question. My BMW 2024 X5... Two questions: 1. Can I disable the horn walk-away notification when exiting my car. I often leave it running for my passenger if I have to run in somewhere quick but every time I walk away from the car, the horn starts beeping at me. This occurs even in sport mode or if I leave my key in the car. It's picking up on my cell phone as I walk away from the vehicle. Is there an option to disable this? Second question: If my wife and I are in the car and we each have our keys, I get out of the car and take my key but my wife is still in the car with her key, the alarm will go off. Is there a way to disable this? Thanks for your help!!
I have to double check this, but I think it's in the doors/windows/ comfort access menu.
Thanks for the walk through! Is it possible to reorder the shortcuts once they are set? For exampe swapping position 4 to 7? I only saw that you can delete it and reprogram it which is quite annoying. It isn‘t as handy as the old phsical buttons on iDrive 7 and older.
Thanks for watching. Not possible to drag them around unless you have a brand new BMW X1 or X2 that have the new iDrive 9 version. Annoying but yes you would have to delete and reprogram.
@@BeamerView Thx!
Excellent logical recommendations.
Glad you think so!
For setting 'Home' destination is there a useful way to set 2 Homes?
It's not unusual for people, I imagine also people who can afford a BMW, to have a 'summer and a winter home' or a 'summer cottage and a normal home' where we spend a significant amount of time at either every year.
Closest way would be to setup the 2nd house as a favorite. You can save it as one and then hold it to rename it.
@@BeamerView Thanks. Do you happen to know if I can rename or delete the 'Work' destination? I'm retired and 'Work' is a 4-letter word in my world now 😀
Is there some trick to making the tailgate lock/close button work. On my x3 the tailgate close button always works but the lock and close button rarely works. Does anyone have an answer to why it won’t work?
If you mean the button on the actual tailgate, yes it should close as soon as you press it, if not it may just be a little stuck, which would be best if you have a tech quickly look at it.
If you meant the trunk open close button on the inside driver side door. You push down to open, and HOLD UP the WHOLE TIME, to close.
Is there a trick to updating my idrive? It has been downloaded to my App but it won’t download to my car even though it’s connected to Bluetooth and WiFi
Software updates are the worst. Sometimes could take up to a month to do.
Vehicle also has to be driven around so battery is fully charged since that’s needed to do the update when it’s parked and off.
Has to parked on a level field. E brake has to be on. Headlights off. Take out usb cords.
If all fails after a few weeks, you’d have to bring it into the shop and manually have the update done. This is not covered by bmw and there will be a labor charge.
@BeamerView been 2 months for me but I didn't realize that the headlights had to be off and parking brake on.. I've just sat there with the engine running... thanks for the info.
@@BeamerViewThose are some odd requirements. Thanks for clarifying those.
For the level ground thing, my driveway is inclined a few degrees and I live on the side of a mountain, so even the street isn’t quite level. Should I go find some flat parking lot and just sit there while it updates?
At what point would the update fail due to not being on level ground? Does it actually show you some kind of alert stating it can’t update?
I can’t even get the update to show up on the app or the car. I’ve run the “Search for upgrades” under the Remote Software Upgrade menu item repeatedly and it just searches for a while and then goes back to showing the button to “Search for Upgrades”. It shows my installed version as 03/2023.65
Would my dealer be able to force the update somehow if I take it in?
Actually went and tried it just now and after a while, it showed a notification that no software update is available for my car.
No idea why since it’s a 2024 X5 LCI
Anyways, thanks for the video. Useful as always.
I’ll call the dealer.
I guess several of these SC you shown can be controlled via voice? If I want a 9th SC, will a new row of SC show?
Some can be, for the Carplay ones you could say Siri Open Waze, etc.
Limit is 8.
I have ID8, but my lower banner doesn’t have all the icons like yours. I only have the climate temp and heated seats… How can I get the rest of the buttons on the bottom fixed banner?
iDrive 8.5 is the one that has the lower icons. Depending on which BMW you have, it may or may not update to 8.5.
@@BeamerView Hmm… I guess this requires a trip to the dealer?
Hi, I tried yesterday to add Waze shortcut from Android Auto and it didn't work for me. My i4 has the 8 last version and is a 10/2022 one.
Thanks for all your tips, they are very usefull.
Gotcha, it works for Carplay not sure if android made it compatible yet. Try the idrive reboot see if that helps at all too.
@@BeamerView Hello thanks for your answer. :) I think the problem is that with android, you don't see shortcuts in the car "all apps" menu. So it's not possible to create a shortcut from ther neither from the android carplay menu. Let's hope some day BMW will update this.
Are shortcuts also widgets? Also, when I use navigation the arrow is not going in the direction I am, why is that?
Shortcuts are not widgets per say.
The navigation arrow can be changed, just tap on the compass on the lower right side when you're in the map and that should change the "Direction of travel" if it doesn't work, you can go into map screen and from there go into settings, and there is also a way to change the direction of travel through there too.
Do you have a video on how to quickly get to your iphone text messages?
The best way to do this is through voice commands. If you hold down the voice command button, you should be able to summon siri or google assistant and tell them to send a text message to whomever.
@@BeamerView I should clarify: if I have several text messages waiting for me, what’s the fastest way to get to that screen? I usually ask BMW to show me Apple Car Play. Sometimes that takes me to all of my iMessages (maybe when iMessage is the last Apple app I used), but other times it takes me to another Apple app. Thanks!
Can I disable the horn walk-away notification when exiting my car.
Unfortunately not. I personally don’t like that one either
Not upgraded, they were downgraded.
Gotcha!
