Due to the restricted availability of semiconductor components, the parts requirement for the MGU18
with Bluetooth/WiFi chips in service pack 18 cannot currently be met by the supplier. Therefore, the
affected vehicles have left the factory without Bluetooth/WiFi. Since another chip with a similar
functionality is installed in the head unit, this chip can perform the tasks after a software update.
Effect
For the customer, there are the following restrictions in the meantime:
- Only one smartphone can be paired via Bluetooth
- No possibility for WiFi HotSpot and Bluetooth audio streaming
- No software updates through BMW Remote Software Upgrade via WiFi
- No projected modes (Apple CarPlay, Android Auto)
- No support for apps (e.g. TrackMode)
- No Miracast possible
The original functionality is restored with this technical campaign.
