when the feature was disabled in the new Google maps I switched back to the old version. How do I switch back to the new version now? I can't find an option on the old version.

Try going to google maps and there should be something that pops up on the left hand side telling you to upgrade to the new google maps

The send to car feature was only good for the first 12 months of ownership... It wasn't worth the subscription cost to bmw afterwards.

If you have BMW Assist then you can use this feature.

Has anyone else had trouble using the "send to car" feature since Google restarted it? In Google I get a "successfully sent to car" message, but it never shows up in the car.

Tried it today and it works fine for me. Sent the destination from my PC, went outside 2 mins later and it had arrived on the X3.

Is it necessary to "Sign in" to Google to send a destination to the car?
