I entered my last 7 of VIN and the site indicates my VIN is invalid. Fail.

[cartechfreak]

Even I had the same issue for my VIN but all the information above is from BMW website.
And I also sent an email to the support group asking why it says invalid for my VIN.

[SchillerM]

Do either of you have an active system?
My F10 doesn't and shows invalid, my E90 is active and shows the options.

My F10 is still active until 02/17 but I get invalid VIN

[ezaircon4jc]

I was never contacted but my VIN worked on the site and I had the retrofit done a couple/3 weeks ago. Like cartechfreak I would contact BMW; starting with my dealer.

Will I lose traffic information on my NAV?

[Boulder Bill]

I'm not sure, but I believe if you have a MY 2013, and your VIN is inactive, it may well be because your vehicle is not affected.

My build date was 10/2012, and I'm told that I will not be impacted at year's end. I certainly was not when my initial warranty expired last month. I guess we shall see.

Can we do the retrofit ourselves? I just need to run the BMW Remote App for basic things like locking the doors and uploading address to the nav.
