Can You Lock the Car During BMW iDrive System Upgrade?
2 Answers
You can lock the car during a BMW iDrive system upgrade. Here are detailed points about BMW: 1. Vehicle Models: BMW is a German automotive brand under the BMW Group. As one of Germany's three major luxury car brands, BMW holds significant market share and brand recognition in China's new car market, while also offering certified pre-owned vehicle services in the used car sector. 2. Definition: The vehicle multifunction upgrade control system utilizes host computer technology to enhance car functionalities while preserving all original features, thereby upgrading the vehicle's configuration.
A few days ago, I just did a system upgrade for my BMW, and the whole process was quite interesting. The system prompted that the upgrade required continuous power supply, otherwise it could easily malfunction. I originally thought locking the car would be fine, as long as the key was in my pocket, but when I tried locking it halfway, the update got stuck immediately, showing an error code on the screen. Later, it had to be towed to the 4S shop for repairs, costing me a few hundred bucks. The technician said BMW's iDrive update is similar to reinstalling a computer system—locking the car triggers a power disconnection, leading to software corruption or even system crashes. Since then, I now find a quiet parking lot for upgrades, keep the engine running, and wait for twenty minutes with music playing on my phone. Similar issues are common in other cars like Audi, so developing good habits avoids trouble—never try to save effort by messing with the car doors.
