Fed up with BMW
Experience for BMW Connected app is so awful, slow and ugly, it has been crashing on my iphone for 2 weeks while they haven't fixed yet though many people reported this issue. Navigation experience for BMW's Here map service also sucks, don't know why they just don't use google map that is way better. I've lost all my patience for BMW...

Because Google has zero respect and concern for user privacy.

We don’t care but it is becoming table-stakes for younger drivers. A lack of proper phone integration to them looks like a car that uses padlocks on the doors would look to us.

I agree. The built-in Nav system/Voice recognition system is by far the best on the market. I tested all the other major players over the past3 months and NONE had a system that understood daisy-chained commands is smooth and fast, has touchscreen and manual input that is quick and easy and navigation that works right away.

I clearly remember that I posted this as a reply in this thread https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1498115, but how the hell did it become a new topic in X3 forum? It's freaking weird..

Kinda agree with you, I used the Connected App a lot to climatize my i3 based on timer or schedule; After driving my 2 BMWs for a while that I realized I got brainwashed too much for ultimate driving machine marketing, but what I need is actually a technology built for commuting comfortability and ease of use. |

Try it with the Apple Watch BMW app... then you will find out what is really SLOW... sounding the horn or opening doors with the Apple Watch app takes about 10 minutes per action... I sold my Apple Watch

Have you deleted the app and re-loaded it? Sometimes that can fix issues. |

That said, Full Screen Apple CarPlay has made Apple, Google and Waze apps much friendlier to use. See Link for thread on Full Screen CarPlay: https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1583913

Since when does it do remote start? I thought that was a feature planned for the next model year. |
