The lesson at least for me was that the state of charge was too low for the battery.
Note to BMW software GUI engineers. When users put the vehicle in park and a software install is ready BUT some factor is preventing it you should give the message in Drive.
i.e. "Your updated software has been uploaded to the vehicle, preparations have been made and it is ready to install, HOWEVER we detect your battery state of charge is at X percent. Please drive your vehicle more frequently to charge the battery, charge your vehicle with a BMW charger or take it to dealer for upgrade".
Or if there is some other error code holding it back simply state what it is. A little info goes a long way  |
So I put in the ctek charger last night. Charged over night. Drove it this morning. Parked it. And still did not get a prompt to proceed. I guess there is some other problem.
Nice charger though!
