How to open BR29 file?
The main problem with BMW IDrive Multimedia Data Format is that the BR29 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BR29 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BR29 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
In this case, you should first verify that the BMW iDrive application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing BMW iDrive into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BR29 files.
Programs to open BR29 file
Remember to download programs supporting BR29 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BMW iDrive with BR29 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BR29 file still does not use the BMW iDrive program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the BMW iDrive application as the default for handling the BR29 file.
Step 3. Update BMW iDrive to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the BMW iDrive program, it is possible that BMW IDrive Multimedia Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the BMW website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BR29 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BR29 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BR29 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BR29 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BR29 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BR29 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BR29 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. 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 BR29 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BR29 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BR29 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
