Question Possible to update iDrice CCC from DVD?

There's a video on YouTube of a chap seemingly updating his iDrive from the DVD drive to a new version. I'm not sure which modules or what is going on and also what the laptop is doing sitting in the footwell.


Any thoughts?

To update the i-drive, you need to do a full system update on the car - this no one likes doing as its too risky..and can take hours - days...and any component can fail as a result..

bit like upgrading the firmware of a server...once it reboots will it still work..lol


this was talked about on BMW5 forum..a while back
