How to open BR32 file?
The main problem with BMW IDrive Multimedia Data Format is that the BR32 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BR32 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BR32 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the BMW iDrive program installed. This can be achieved by typing BMW iDrive into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support BR32 files.
Programs to open BR32 file
Remember to download programs supporting BR32 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BMW iDrive with BR32 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BR32 file to open in the BMW iDrive application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 BR32 file.
Step 3. Update BMW iDrive to the latest version
If, however, after binding BMW iDrive with BMW IDrive Multimedia Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the BMW page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BR32 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BR32 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BR32 file. However, remember that not every infected BR32 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 BR32 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BR32 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BR32 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BR32 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the BR32 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
