2013 New iDrive update

Xcution · 11-04-2012, 07:24 AM

Hello, I was trying to look around for this for over an hour or so and could not find anything hoping maybe a link or info from fellow 1Addicts.

Does anyone know if you can update the iDrive in a 2011 135i to the new 2013 iDrive with the 3D maps, etc?

Wonder if the hardware would be able to handle it...thanks in advance!

Not sure if it will take but I found this post for updates:

I guess you could always call BMW as well.

That update doesn't update the navigation system. It updates the support for IPhones and a couple of other media playing devices.

My understanding is that our hardware is not compatible with new generation idrive software. Updates for all E series vehicles have ceased. Check the thread by Jason in General BMW News Section.
