How can I determine which software I have and whether it needs an upgrade/update?

One thing the OP never mentioned is why they think they need an upgrade. The CCC and NBT's have some software that can be upgrade to support say new phones or fix other phone compatibility issues.

I'm not even certain if the OP knows what they are referring to, so surely we can't know either.

Good point. I thought about this and forgot to mention it...

The nav system is the one area that can, on occasion, get an 'update' that could affect functionality. (ie '3D map views' or better routing algorithms) Not sure about phone functions.

There should be a menu where you can view the current software version for the nav system.

Also, for a time, BMW was selling 'nav upgrades' that included a firmware update PLUS the map data. I dont know if they've done that past CCC days (ie for the newer cic and nbt systems)

OP let us know what you are trying to upgrade- if there is a specific issue- or just a general thing...

Thanks for the feedback. I came across the following issue, (see link below). While taking it to two indie shops that only work on Bimmers, both places recommended updating the software in order to successfully remove the maintenance reminder;
