Rubbish. I'm being told by the connected drive hotline that only cars built in oct will have the flashing lights / horn option.
That clearly doesn't tally with nubmasters experience though so I'm going back to the dealer. |

That will be true for the F10, but the F11 has the new Idrive from first build and should have all the options. I too only have climate and door locking. No locate, horn or lights, my F11 was a last week in Aug build. However, on a more worrying note, mine now works (downloaded the latest app from apple) but when I tested it it opened the doors but did not lock them, the app confirmed the action, but when I checked the doors were still open. Tried it twice... same result.

My F11 must have the combo box but it was not shown on the spec. I can plug my iPhone into the USB in the arm rest with only the Apple lead and it works fine, even displays the album art.

I seem to have all the options on my phone and it 'sends' according to the phone the lights flash and the horn however when i locate it the phone tells me nothing but something pops up about 'location based services not available'

Do you know what week your car was built? @deejaygee Not 100% sure com box = this functionality. The 7 series has had the combox since early 2010. But according to connected drive app site it says 7 sreries gets it from October 2010 too. Now it could be a later version of the combox, but its not just any combox, who knows maybe there are additional components, perhaps core elements of 5GB. (new factory tracking option) Who knows! |

All I meant was the 7 hasn't had this functionality from the intro of the combox. There is another element or different version of the combox that has been introduced recently to enable these latest features. |

Where can I find this application for download? It is not in the App Store (which I did not expect to find there anyways). Any pointers?

According to my connected drive account I have full functionality, now I haven't got my car yet as on hols. But my account is obviously linked to the chassis number which must give full details to the connecteddrive team, I like Lukeswarm have everything but when I try the vehicle it is non responsive. I wonder if it needs dealer activation??

I compared the software levels in my car with nubmasters. His is showing as mx 002.005.021 and tx002.005.021 whereas mine is mx001.011.001 and tx001.011.001. so maybe pushing the dealership to upgrade might help.
The connected drive hotline are now also saying that I should have the flashing lights / horn / location but cant tell me why I dont have it. They're pretty useless, but actually no more useless than the dealership. I think my car is slightly earlier than nub masters but only by a few days. |

I have the iphone app and it appears to be able to lock / unlock and set the climate control. I don't have the car yet but am getting the green circle in the app. However I don't have the flash lights / sound horn buttons or any display of the vehicle's location.
I have the RD and RCC services showing against my car in the connecteddrive web site under Remote Services - Activate Remote Services. Do other F10 or F11 owners have different services showing that maybe allow them to access the extra features? The other possible reason is that these extra features are only available if you are within 1.5 km of the car. This is mentioned in the description of the Vehicle Finder feature on the AppStore, but not in the description of flash lights and sound horn. Does anyone have these features working when they are far from the car? It would make sense for them not to work as you can't see the lights or hear the horn if you are that far away from it. |

I have the same issue and am getting a run around from the connected drive hotline and from the dealership. I'm going to leave it a bit as the system is so new no-one knows what they're talking about. Latest news from the hotline is that a new verso of the app is coming in Oct and that will fix the issue. Not convinced ( I don't see how the app has the ability to define services my car can/can't use- surely that info has to come from either the car or a BMW database)
I also only have rd and rcc services showing in the web site. If the app works fully then you should see others (RHL and VF) . You might alos find that the services listed on the idrive in the car dont include remote horn or remote lights (mine dont) I've tried the app standing next to the car and it made no difference to me. |

For those who have all the features enabled, does the app actually show the location of the car? Mine only indicates my location with a blue pin. I only have the 2 options listed on the connected drive site and I suspect this comes from a BMW database linked to the car id.
