Having trouble with some settings

Hello All,

Car has been finally delivered 5 months after the order.
Larger, roomier and lot more comfortable than the E90 it replaces.

However, having some issues with the software. Can someone assist.

1. "CAR" - "Settings" - "General settings" - the "Remote Software Upgrade" does not exist. What comes before it/after in for all those that have it? What might be the reason that it is not there?

2. "CAR" - "Settings" - "General settings" - "Date and time" "Automatic time setting; cannot be selected. What needs to be the prerequisite for this to function?

3. Digital Key and Samsung S9; can anyone confirm that they have this working as BMW 'Genius' is not of much help currently.

Thank you.

For #3, do you have an unlocked S9 by any chance?

I had some issues with BMW Connected app not supporting Digital Key on my Unlocked S10+ because the Android ROM must be a US Carrier based ROM in order to get digital key feature working. I had to flash my original ROM that came with my unlocked phone with Tmobile ROM to have the digital key working.

Yes factory unlocked, purchased directly from Samsung retailer; not through a Carrier. Just hate how they do not tell you these details at purchasing

OTA updates may not be available in every country. The functionality to auto set time probably requires your car "communicating" with BMW's servers via cellular, which similar to OTA update functionality, may also not be available in your country. BMW should confirm this for you.

While I'm unable to help with your Android phone unlocking your car using the Digital Key, I will agree BMW Genius isn't helpful. Try searching the forums as folks here tend to be more knowledgeable.
