The 1.5km distance limit and the cannot-locate-whilst-ignition-is-on are privacy settings. I wish you could remove it as it would be good for peace of mind and useful in the event that your X3 was ever stolen

Found the app very useful sat in the cinema on Saturday night waiting for The Iron Lady to start when I had one of those "shit, did I lock the car?" worries. Locked the doors remotely using the app without moving my ass from the cinema seat. All over it

Technically speaking, I don't believe it has been released. There was a lot of chatter that it was under development though.

I don't believe this to be correct, at least with my vehicle in the US. Then again, I don't have the option set to lock doors if you unlock them and actually don't open the car. Maybe the two features are related? |

This is a really dumb question so please excuse my ignorance. My X3, 35i is on order for early Feb.
I chose NOT to purchase the Navigation package ( I did, however, order, M Sport, DHP and Carbon Metallic Black with Oyster). Is this thread about the iPhone app. still applicable without Nav? thx guys.... |

I'm not sure why the car would have or need a SIM if you had no nav and no BMW Online. You only get a SIM with pro nav (UK, Europe) and I think only with the tech package (NA). That's why I stated no, as in no tech package no SIM

The app however, feeds off of BMW assist. When you set up the remote app, you need to input your BMW assist user name and password in order for it to communicate with your BMW. I am not too sure how it is in Europe but all BMW's have BMW assist regardless of equipment.

My BMW Remote works for sending addresses to the car, but it isn't required where Google Maps works. If you have BMW Assist then you can send a Destination to your X3 from Google Maps. From Google Maps, Click on the Chain-link icon in the top left quadrant of the screen, Click on Send, Select Car, Select BMW, and enter your BMW Assist e-mail address.

I have the BMW remote app, and it works for the dumb stuff (flashing lights, tooting the horn). I tried sending an address to it, and it said "successfully transmitted" but when I went to the car and checked the messages, it wasn't there. Any advice?

Try sending from Google Maps. You'll probably get the same outcome. Sounds like your BMW Assist account isn't setup properly
