Also I am on the latest iOS 10.0.2 on iPhone 7 plus. App is also updated to the latest version.
All my services are up and running.

Have heard that right now iPhone 7 is no bueno for new iDrive.
That is probably the problem.

Hmmm, I think it's the iOS with iPhone 7. Which iOS are u running ??

I wonder if having new LTE comm box retrofitted by BMW next week on my '12 328 will allow me to use all the features of this app. Currently all I can do is send maps to I-Drive.

For those of you with newer F30's that can use all the apps features, does the app show current fuel level/range, and odometer reading like the older app? (pic below of old app):

Wow. Can check battery level from home AND fuel level from home. Just incredible.

:

What a waste. This might have been impressive in 2007 when the iPhone came out not 2016.

Dealer told me the retro combox is 3G not LTE. Where did you hear it was LTE?

I'm a tech worker and I have very close friends who work at Amazon and Apple. 100% sure BMW wants to charge both CONSUMERS and TECH FIRMS. It's our role to push this to be a free feature to the customer. It's the tech firm's best interest to have these features available to us so they are willing to pay. We shouldn't be paying a penny extra for these.

'14 435, no range or fuel levels here either. I guess it only works on '15 models up :/
