CANNOT Update Software "For Communication and Entertainment"
Any suggestions? I downloaded the software from the BMW website. I loaded it onto my otherwise empty BMW memory stick. When I connect it to the USB port in the armrest and select "Software Update" in iDrive, this is the message I get:

I think you have to use the USB port in the glove box.

Almost all BMW documents say you should always use the glovebox port Maybe its because some versions/specs cannot use the center one

Everything I've read says NOT to use the glovebox port. Another question: Did you just drag the entire UPD01004.bin folder to the memory stick... or the files within the folder ?

To answer the OP, yes just the .bin file and it should be in the root directory (not a sub folder).. and I used a 4GB pen drive, a 16GB was rejected/file not found. No big changes for me, other than Bluetooth audio from Spotify much clearer
