How to open BR28 file?

The most common problem when using BMW IDrive Multimedia Data Format is that a specific BR28 is not associated with the program. This causes the file BR28 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BR28 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install BMW iDrive

Programs to open BR28 file

Remember to download programs supporting BR28 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of BMW iDrive with BR28 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BR28 file still does not use the BMW iDrive program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BR28 file with the BMW iDrive program.

Step 3. Update BMW iDrive to the latest version

If, despite the association of the BMW iDrive program with the BMW IDrive Multimedia Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the BMW website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BR28 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The BR28 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BR28 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BR28 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BR28 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 BR28 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 BR28 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BR28 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the BR28 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BR28 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
