Remote services control vs. status ? Locked

Gritty · 12-06-2019, 02:07 PM

Hey,

I locked my cars today via remote services "control". Was happy to see remote services locked the cars and confirmed. Although remote services "status" still states the cars are unlocked? Anyone notice the same?

Be careful!

I’ve also tested unlocking and locking the car, and despite the App reporting the car was ‘locked’ the drivers door remained unlocked.

Worth sending the command a couple of time to make sure!

I’ve had remote services since my 1st capable BMW (in this case an e92 LCI) and I’ve experienced the system flakey at best.

However, I live in an area with very poor mobile/cell coverage where 2.5G is sporadic and 3G or 4G is a pipedream! Whether or not that should influence what the app reports is another thing though.
