New iDrive7 Features

I saw a couple of videos about the iDrive 7 features. I can't find the following on mine. I am on iDrive7 ver. 03/2019.39

On the third video below, the car shown has even a lower iDrive7 update version than mine but it's getting the updates. What have we done wrong for not getting it?

Has anyone got them?

Automatic Speed Adjustment is not available in the US. I enabled it with coding and although the menu item is there and selectable, it still tells me that air speed adjustment is not available in your country. Haven't figured out how to fix that yet.

Hmmm, nice try. Keep looking into it because I remember this Auto Speed Adj was available with my Audi Q7 and I liked it pretty much on the Freeways. So, it's probably a valid or approved feature in the US.

Really?! How did you get that feature? Did you download something?

What I can't get is that some of us have the features updated (somehow) and some don't. What is the criteria that is keeping some get these updates?

I didn't enable anything. They are available from deliver.

I have the same software ver as you. 03/2019-7

Did you click the auto parking when you shift to reverse? It's on the top right corner of 360 camera.

OK. I went to a short trip just to test it on various parking lots....lol.

The car parks itself (in parallel or perpendicular) OK but when driving off the lot, it does not offer me to EXIT the parking lot ITSELF even if I activate the Auto Park. Of course, the Backup Assistant works without a problem. Guess I have to keep trying it...

By the way, I am actually on 03/2019.60 version. Last time, as I remember, it was 03/2019.39. So, I was a little surprised today to see it.

Therefore, I just gave a try to the Remote Software Update thingy at around 2:20 PM CT and its still saying "Checking for upgrades....." on the Dashboard side (just to clarify that I used the dashboard side software upgrades thing, the remote update of the App just says No Upgrades Available)....

At 3:10 PM now while typing this, the Engine is off, but it still saying Checking for Updates...." this is kind of odd because it has 50 minutes passed now and it's giving the same message. Usually, it would say within 3-4 minutes whenever I have tested for it.

Is there something going on? I feel like I should turn off the power to the headunit and check again in a while......

I'm in my car now, I'm actually on 03/2019.45, which is lower than yours.

I just used auto existing couple minutes ago. Did you see an exit arrow on either left of right front of your car icon in 360 cam? I turned on park assist and clicked that arrow, everything works.

Ahhh. So sorry to keep bothering you but do you also see this when exiting from parallel parking when you did not use the Auto Park feature when parking it?

I know I am missing something very obvious here now. Sorry.

Yes, if the car auto parked. Then next time when you enable 360 cam, it will show a grey out arrow on with left or right front of the car icon. Then if you click park assist, which is in the top right corner, the arrow will become yellow and clickable.

Let me know if you see any arrow.
