Step 2. Create association of BMW iDrive with BR27 files

If, despite the installed application, the BR27 file does not start in the BMW iDrive application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated.

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BR27 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BR27 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BR27 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BR27 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BR27 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BR27 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the BR27 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BR27 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BR27 file again. However, some background programs may block the BR27 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
