Americas Tow Package install - Software Update

[[ Adam ]]

Okay so this is really interesting. I was still getting to the ADAS menu from my favorite and it was defaulting to on every time. So I just turned it off. But it looks like the speed warning is a new addition which allows you to choose a selectable speed at which the warning will go off. When you select that speed it only dings one time, or as has been noted, it can be defaulted to off.

The ADAS menu now appears to be hidden & you are unable to set a settings page as a favorite.

@archerwolf, what software version please? Thank you!

 

[archerwolf]

I also have software version SW00000069002070

Is this ADAS menu missing for you all? Do you have the Speed Warning setting under Vehicle Functions menu instead?

These kinds of responses from dealers really sours the excitement of customers, especially when it simply isn't rooted in any sort of fact.

It has to be the most ridiculous response I've seen from a dealer. Can't imagine what service would be like.

What’s the highest setting? Looks like it’s based on speed? How does it work for 25mph vs 70mph limits? I’m glad this got traction enough for a change. It was going to limit sales (at least in the US). I’m glad I won’t have to have my favorite button replaced under warranty due to overuse.

We need to check for 3 different software versions.
1-people who got their trucks with the hitch removed but not yet updated
2-people who got their trucks with the hitch removed and got updated
3-people who got their trucks with the hitch from day 1

Edit-North American vehicles

Of additional interest - I drove from Burke, VA to Dewey Beach Delaware today and noticed that there were a LOT fewer alerts from the system.

I seem to have lost the current speed limit indicator, but I guess that's acceptable.

I had the software update and hitch install Thursday. I still have the on-screen speed limit indicator and ADAS seems to operate as before. I also had to reset ADAS as the Favorite.

Tomorrow I’ll check the screens you posted above.

Definitely check the software version you're running and report back!

I set the speed warning to 75mph. But I still have access to the ADAS menu via favorites.

Low oil warning etc. My dealer told me there is no dip stick only to be advised by a garage friend that the dip stick is hidden and black so it cannot been seen easily.

Can you ask your garage friend where this is? You would be a hero on the forums.

He must have a diesel.

check out the BMW Technical Training doc. re. the B58 engine here: https://www.theineosforum.com/threa...-technical-training.12410509/#post-1333129841 courtesy of @globalgregors .

No dipstick was incorporated in the petrol version of the "B5x" engines...B58 being petrol and B57 the diesel. They share a common architecture. The B57 has a dipstick but due to the use of two different sump designs for the B57, depending on the application, the dipstick will show the presence of oil but not necessarily the correct volume.
I would wager that many, if not most, members of this forum share your frustration at the lack of a functional dipstick !

This speed setting was around since I got my truck. It was set to 20mph and for 2 weeks could not figure out why I was getting that loud noise. Mine is now set to 0mph.

When did you get your truck?

When did you get your truck?

December 19th.

I took a picture of all of the screens back then but haven't compared them to see if how much may have changed from when I had my trailer hitch installed.

I got the tow hitch and software update today. Was this function there before? “Deactivate all ADAS functions”

Is it persistent and without warnings?

I don't recall if this was there before the update. I haven't driven it yet since I toggled that on, but all the ADAS functions are off, AEB, Lane Departure, Speed Warnings, etc.

I've yet to receive the update, this is present on my vehicle menu. Deactivating all lights up a bunch of warnings on the telltale indicators though - I wonder if this has been changed?
