If you're like me, you won't have to worry cus it doesn't even work. Called support a week ago and still haven't fixed it.

What will you use the app for?

It's infinitely easier for me to send navigation through the app than via idrive.
I also use it to track the location when leaving it at a shop. Busted a shop for outsourcing work and taking it across town. This is why I have trust issues.

I still don't know how to log into connected drive. I looked through all the papers, but I couldn't find the login info

There is no point in having an app if it doesn't work! We just bought out 18 X5, and every time I try to use the app I just get the invalid token message.
I have a Google Pixel 4a.

Please post if anyone gets it figured out.

If you are having problems with the app, maybe test this.
On a PC with Windows and PowerShell:

https://github.com/hdurdle/bmw-power...ster/README.md

Works great with me... and App as well on Android.

Cheers, Robert

My app keeps login off almost everyday, is this normal?

That happens to mine, but very rarely.

maybe_bimmer · 09-30-2021, 11:21 PM

My app works fine, just a bit slow. Helpful to see charge status and charging status.

This is really the only reason why I have the app. I like to keep track of my car especially when I have to leave it somewhere for a while.

Wow, that is a great idea and I will remember to use it for that purpose!!!

Hate being logged out of the app all the time because I use it with the AndroidAutoiDrive app to get real notifications on my car. I only notice I'm logged out when I get in the car and realize I'm not getting notifications.

2017F30 · 12-01-2021, 09:15 PM

Finally got around to installing the app. So far so good.

omasou · 12-01-2021, 09:59 PM

The app works fine.

I love how I can double check that my doors and windows are closed and locked.

I also use it to remote start the X6.

XtBimmer · 06-18-2022, 04:56 PM

Getting a used 18 530e next week, will most of the mybmw stuff with it?
I know stupid question hehe

paquet · 06-19-2022, 05:55 PM

As long as it’s added to your account, it should.
Off the top of my head, I’m going to say no remote start or tire pressure monitoring, but you’ll get lock/unlock, location, battery etc

MikeG21 · 06-26-2022, 10:12 AM

Mine shows fuel and distance

I have never had this happen to me. I would speak to the "Genius" at your dealer concerning this issue.

I think it requires a modern vehicle nowadays. I have been studying iDrive 6 and 4g connectivity retrofits so that I may be able to use this.

fraschusa · 05-17-2023, 06:31 AM

hmmmm, I have had this when I picked up my car in Jan '23... and it seems to work fine on a iPhone... love the remote camera and horn activation ;-)
