iPhone App My BMW Remote
Has anyone got My BMW Remote app for the iphone working yet ?
The demo works fine on the two cars in Germany, but when I try with my car (F10 m-Sport) it knows my car ie vin number etc, but never finds it or unlocks it etc. Anyone one else got this working ?? |

Yes, and I have activated the remote services, and since posting this message, I called them to unlock my car too, and they were unable, couldn't really tell me why, said maybe there servers are down or my car needs to go back to dealer, Spoke to dealer and they are looking into it and will call me back, car need to go back to them soon for a replacement steering wheel, (stitching had came loose) and also having the black grills fitted.
The BMW online part became active last night, very good with google street view, and news. ( It read the news to me as I drove to work this morning) Still getting to know the car, can't get to control music on iphone yet very well, but does use bluetooth for music as soon as I get into the car, just having trouble with track lists not showing up. |

Weird, you would be one of the first on the site to get the September updates, it's interesting that it doesn't work
When are you getting the grills done? |

The remote services are now working perfectly, from the iphone I can find it, flash the lights, sound the horn, lock or unlock, and set the climate control.
About the grills, spoke to dealer today and BMW UK and Germany out of stock and they are back ordered, but have booked car in for the 23rd for filling and the replacement steering wheel. |

Not sure what the problem was, spent ages on phone to them today, they couldn't even remote unlock it them self, the bmw-online was only activated last night, might have needed 24 hours for this to start working. |

If you have a photo it would be great. Cannot seem to find it on mine. I've managed to screw up the drive a few times now, first connecting my iPhone and then loading music from a stick. If you have an F11 you don't need the BMW lead, just an iPhone lead.

I got my f11 on Monday. I have the app running on my iPad and can open close the doors but I don't have an option to flash the lights or to activate the horn. Those options don't exit on my app. Where do you see them ? |

I noticed the app was updated in the apple store on 30th September. Do you have the latest version? Maybe that would help? Do you know what week your car was built? Would be interesting to compare your build week to the car that works / has all the functionality Cheers Paul |

Hi.
Tried update the app but doesn't change anything. In the car there's an option to list the services that the car can make use of and although lock/unlock is listed , flashing lights and horn is not. Also on the connected drive website under activate services is only have two codes listed by my car. Overall I suspect the list of services I'm allowed to use (wiich i reckon is database driven online somewhere) has screwed up so I'll call the helpline later. How can I tell what week my car was built ? I know the dealership got it around Wednesday/Thursday last week. |

Hi John,
Sounds like a call to connected drive is a good idea to get them to verify your profile. You can ask your dealer exactly when your car was built they have all that info on their system. Hopefully within the next week I should get hold of a week 37 build F10 I will let you know how that goes! Good luck Cheers Paul Good luck! |
