Weather App - Inconsistent Update

I've added the weather app to the main screen with navigation and media, but the updates do not show up when I go to the main screen (just blank and clicking on it does nothing), yet the updates appear in weather app screen. I've removed it and re-added the app multiple times yet no updates. Has anyone experienced this? Thank you.

I've tried all that. I have updated traffic update and my weather app updates in the app itself, but never updates in the main home screen.

Just weird.

My "update" option is greyed out, and none of the services are working. Any ideas?

I got everything to start finally working by pressing the volume button for 25+ seconds until the system rebooted. Then iDrive prompted me to accept some privacy notices/TOS. After that 👌

I can't get the weather widget or any other iDrive compatible apps that are installed on my phone to show up on my iDrive despite trying all these methods mentioned here.

The weather widget on my F15 would go dark on occasion and that seemed to be the case when I was inside my G05 yesterday. I complained about the weather misses on the F15 countless times.

This worked. Reboots, widgets reload, and weather app updates show up on home screen. Thank you!

I'm in the same boat. Took delivery today and tried everything mentioned above by NH-F36 and still nada. Tried the hard reboot. Not sure what to do from here

Same here. We need to start a new club... it's like the inverse of Alcoholics Anonymous... "Hi I'm cygnusecks... and I have no weather widget" (light applause) "I've been widget-free for 24 days now. My kids don't talk to me.. wife is hanging out with my neighbor and her Mazda 626. I cry alone at night often wondering what the high temp and wind direction will be for tomorrow...."

When the weather widget is working, it only shows current conditions. If you want more say, "Hey BMW, how's the weather?" Does that voice command work for you even when the widget is MIA?

It does give me weather conditions ("sunny") and the temperature, even though I don't have the weather widget. I can also configure the map view to show weather. Just no widget.

I am having issues with Weather widget, I tried everything shown in one of the related videos, I rebooted the system multiple times but no luck.
Any new recommendation?

It was working ok for a little while after being gone entirely for me for some time. However, in the last week, it is working maybe one out of 10 times I'm in the car. Reboots don't seem to make a difference now.

Also, when the widget is not working, I've noticed when I go into the actual weather app that everything is in celsius. When it is working, it is in Fahrenheit, as it should be based on my location/preferences. Odd.
