My i5 is not able to upgrade to the latest software. It says "The starter battery charge status is too low to start the installation. Please charge your vehicle's battery, e.g. by driving for an extended period of time."

I have driven 110 miles in last 2 days (over 50 miles just this morning of mostly highway driving averaging 70 mph trying to charge the starter battery), but this message is still there. I wonder how long a trip I need to make to get rid of this message.

Has anyone else seen this message? I hope I don't have to drive to the dealership to get this upgrade.

That's interesting. My car has not received the OTA update yet, but when I sat in it earlier today, the message below came up on the display. Has anyone else seen this message in their car before?

Not sure why, or exactly what it means. I did not do anything unusual when using the parking feature last time I used it, so I guess I'll just wait to see if I get the message again. I closed the message and things seem normal again.

Mine has been doing this for months. The dealer couldn’t find anything wrong. Only thing I’ve mainly noticed is that I always have to re sign back in to my Spotify. I assume there are other things but I haven’t found them yet.

Same thing happened to my X1. Car had just been in for service and I asked them to check battery , they could not see any error messages. Now they say I can bring the car in for a full battery diagnosis. I don’t care about the update, just don’t want to find a dead battery

Try rebooting IDrive.
