That did the trick. I moved the steering all the way up, down, forward, then back. Now it's working as it should. I guess they just forgot to calibrate it. Thanks.

do you have the update?

If so search for a new location like normal, but now at the bottom of the catagories you will see a new option "NAME" to type in the name of the place you are searching for.

I dont know what actual version this is, could be 25.02.00, or 25.2, but based on recent threads the last known version that solved all the RTTI and VC issues was 25.01.01, so I assume this is later than that.
My E70 is now with the dealership and I was just told by the Service Advisor that the latest software upgrade available is 25.01.01 and this is the latest version available. I was also told that there will be a new version coming next month, which is version 26. The SA said that it will take them overnight to do the upgrade so hopefully I will get her back tomorrow night at the earliest.

I was specifically told that there is no version called 25.2. The SA insisted that the latest available version is 25.01.01. He added that from 25.01.01, the next version coming out next month is version 26. Maybe other people can confirm if this information given to me is correct?

Just picked my car up from the dealer today after a previous attempt to upgrade the software killed RTTI as reported in this thread. The receipt from the dealership shows that the software was upgraded to version 25.02. The RTTI is back, but as someone else reported, only TI appears at the bottom of the iDrive screen (whereas TI+ previously appeared).

After several phone calls to different dealerships, I was able to confirmed that the latest version is indeed 25.2 and so I insisted with my SA that if he will upgrade my E70 with that version that he will need to upgrade it again to 25.2 because ofthe RTTI issue. He called BMWNA and he finally agreed that there is such a version and said that I will get that version. I was told that I will get my car back tomorrow so I will keep you guys updated if I get the latest version without any issue.

I got my car back tonight but when I tried the backup camera, it went blank. I called the SA who took it back in the shop. After 20 mins of waiting he came back with a technician who said that the softwre upgrade by default turned off the camera. He said he turned it back on. But I asked my SA earlier if the Camera was tested and the answer was yes. Obviously, he was lying!!! I tested it and it looks like it was working. When I got home, I played with it moving back and forth. Lo and Behold it went blank again and I was not able to to turn it back on. Off to the dealership again. On my way there, I hit a traffic so I kept testing the camera by shifting the gear to Reverse. I guess, after almost 20 tries, the Camera finally came up so I went back home. So far, I had been switching the PDC button on and off while doing Reverse and it seems to be working now!. I just didnt get to confirm the software version because I was just handed the paperwork without any explanations. JMK BMW in Springfield have such a lousy service!!!

Update Today:
The Camera is still working intermittently!!!! and I can't even get hold of my SA nor his Service Manager. I have been waiting for a call back for more than 3 hours already.
