Did anyone try this software upgrade? Remote Services?

Hi guys,

I found that when i put my V I N code in here i do get a newer software, but it doenst work on my car.
Maybe because i already got an update through the dealer or it isn't really for my car.
Strange thing is i can't find the link for mini. It seems dissapeared...

I put my last 7 in and nothing happened.
Guess I upset them the last time I was in.

Intrigued by this, I went to the site, entered my VIN and was prompted to download a .bin file, which I did. I also downloaded a Software Update Information PDF which lists the various update versions available in the file. Those update versions begin with TB & MB 001.xxx.xxx, 002.xxx.xxx, 003.xxx.xxx, and 005.xxx.xxx. The existing software in my auto begins with TB & MB 006.xxx.xxx... thus the update is NOT newer software than what is already installed in the car... so I am not even going to attempt to run the update. I did have my software updated by the dealer to take care of the autonomous tailgate opening problem, so maybe that's why I have a later version than what has been posted. The owners manual tells how to find the current installed version, and I'd recommend checking there first before trying any update.
