Exciting. I was curious when the next update would arrive.

Isn’t March update usually a major one?

Do you use CarPlay? Is there any change in the maps app?

Mine returned today after a brake fluid and microfilter and inspection service for £450. Bonus 3/24 software on id8. The fonts on hud and the drivers display are sharper/different. Not sure if I like it tbh. The older font was regular/boring. Haven't had time to check if any other changes.

Yeah I noticed the fonts too. I was on 7/2023 before and there was a font mismatch between the main display and the infotainment display. They match now. It could be my imagination, but I think wireless carplay picks up much faster now. I honestly can't find any other difference and I poked around quite a bit. It's been 6 days now and the app cleared the recall notice but still thinks I'm on 7/2023.

I'm not expecting much since I'm still on ID8. I guess I just need to enjoy the $40k depreciation hit.

I spoke too soon. The app now says I'm on 03/2024.25, but doesn't give any details about it like it did for previous versions.

I wonder if I'm imagining it but the suspension feels a lot smoother overall. I'm on non air.

How do you get to this screen in the app, please? Can’t find it anywhere. Thanks.

Have you noticed if Apple CarPlay connectivity is more reliable?

Extremely reliable.

I was about at about a 60-70% success rate at startup. It's been 100% since the update.

I use CarPlay and the maps for driver display are now fully featured and 3D, but I didn’t need a new iDrive, just the new iOS 17.4. It does seem to take a minute to download and show the new map when I drive into a new area, until then it shows just the basic CarPlay map.

I'm on 11/2023.54 and have zero issues with Carplay and my iPhone 12 Pro Max on 17.2.1. It loads up as soon as I get in the car.

Just got notification in app that software update is available and downloading for my 2022 iX.
Seems to be quite expansive update according to description.
