2015 X3: Fully loaded - Can't Find "Office"

My 2015 X3 has the tech package, nav, etc. However, there is no "Office". On my similarly packaged 2014 328, I have the "Office" menu and can read text messages. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have that option and can view text on the idrive. Is there a way to reply to the text via the i drive?? I see a lot of the options greyed out. And the reply option is not able to be highlighted

If I don't have 6NS, but have the tech package, nav, etc., I'm sure I can code this, right? Thanks.

For texting via iDrive, you need to activate Dragon Drive. $30/year for the service, works great. Works with all smartphones. I have a SG4 and my wife uses an iPhone 6 in her 328.

With help from Shawn/April in coding thread, I was able to code 6NS and have Office on my iDrive. (Replace 6NH with 6NS)

That being said, I tested 3 phones with 6NS and only Blackberry(Passport) and Android(HTC One with lollipop) shows full list of functions in Bluetooth settings. iPhone (iOS8.1 on iPhone 6) is missing some feature from what I could see.

My trial just ended and I think I'll pick it up. $30/yr isn't bad. The voice recognition with Dragon Drive is so much better than the internal one for iDrive - I wish it would be used across the board and not just for text messaging... lol

I amusing a Note 4.
