Apply UPD1004 and then UPD1005 in order. For some reason, I think the descriptions are wrong. When I downloaded and applied UPD1004 last year, the description read March 2011 to present, not 2012. I too get the same result when I enter the VIN for my 2011 E90.
I updated mine yesterday via usb. You can download the latest, and then try to upgrade your system, it should tell you if the update will work on your car, it did for me.
Centre console, igintion on, then Setting, firmware update, takes a few seconds to find the Bin file. Also USB stick needs to be formated with FAT32. Glovebox USB is only for copying music to the harddrive in CIC.
I downloaded the .bin file to a USB drive, inserted it into the center console USB plug, navigated to Settings/Software Updates but I keep getting the following error message:
No USB Device with software connected to the USB audio interface. For more information: www.bmw.com/update.
I know that the USB port works since I have been using my iPod in it for 6 months now. Any thoughts??
Ok so I'm feeling like an idiot here...what did I do wrong? I have tried:
1. Download use Bin file.
2. Expanded .Bin file (and left original on there)
3. Used 3 different drives from 150 mb, 1 gb, and 8 gb. (I could export music from internal drive to all of them)
4. Reformatted the 150 mb, 1 gb to Fat32 (just in case maybe allocation size needs to be 512 and not 1024?)
5. The files are in the root of the drive and in fact the only things on there (no folders or other files)
6. Wait up to 5 min...car on Aux and/or Running
Still get that there is "No USB"
Current software is 003.004.031 and I was trying to install the 003.005.xxx so the iOS6 updates for the iPhone 4S work. I have turned on everything without the update and getting no SMS Text notifications (I don't want email).
Neighbors are thinking I am a nutcase for sitting in my car playing half the night...I'm just frustrated .... figure its time for bed...:bawling:
interesting question. I dont think BMWNA pays the dealer unless there is a 'problem'....
So a smart SA will look at you, nod, and say "Less put down 'sporadic issues with phone" or something like that- they they can do the update to 'resolve' the issue. If you look at the release notes and it lists any phone, be prepared to give that to the SA if he needs it to compelte the 'story'.
Then again they might do it as a courtest, but WTH, if BMW will pay them they might as well get paid!
Wondering if this update allows iPhone owners to receive emails?

I may have not paid attention prior to updating but after playing around with the car a little I noticed that I can now play my iTunes music without using the cable plugged into the center console and just by using Bluetooth.
Another thing I noticed ( again it may have already been there and I just didn't pay attention to it before ) is the Bluetooth symbol now shows up in a small box.

I have a 05/10 X6 and i don't have the option to download the update. I went to the site and i don't even have the option of a download. My car was manufactured after the date that the website says. I can used my phone via bluetooth, but not my music. HELP?!??
tried using my VIN through the BMW site to download an on-board computer update but nothing comes up (screen returns no link). I have the post July 2010 BMW I-Drive system and wanted to see if there was another way to update my system
I think 1008 was the last update for the E70. The CIC is really dated now. The NBT Evo, you just just use a longer press of the voice button on the wheel to activate Siri, and then respond via text message. As well, bluetooth control of apps such as Pandora and Spotify, so no need to plug in the cable ever. If you need to charge, wireless charging in the center console (hopefully Iphone edition in September - APPLE, ARE YOU LISTENING)?
