reading the instructions for the app, you are supposed to use your bmw assist account. This is not the same as my bmw from the bmwusa.com website.

doesn't look like it, except for now it shows my car color as "alpine white" instead of "alpinweiss".

Is the login the email address that you have on file with BMW Assist and the password the passcode that you have with them? I tried it and I still get the Authentication Failed message. I was on the phone with BMW Assist and they said that those are the right entries and if it doesn't work, to call back to change the passcode or have it escalated. Not sure if there is something wrong with my account.
I've had problems sending addresses from GoogleMaps since day 1, too. I have a feeling that my profile is messed up somehow. |

I have downloaded the upgrade and now it doesn't work ! Just keep getting "vehicle not responding" failure notice.
Done the usual delete/reload/reinstall my settings, but no joy. Annoying! |

I couldn't get logged in and now it says my account is locked. Called BMW Assist and they advised that the system isn't fully up yet, that some step they expected to do before launching that app wasn't done and will be done today. Funny that the error message says to call the BMW ConnectedDrive hotline -- don't think we have that here in the US, do we?

As a first step check if you are able to send location information to your X3 using google map on your pc. Once that's successful, try my BMW remote app with refreshed user credentials. Last edited by April1; 02-16-2012 at 01:39 PM.. |

I haven't been back to my car yet to see if the Google Maps destinations reached my car and also the remote app seems to not be able to locate/communicate with the car, but at least I'm getting there and it sounds like a few of us are having that issue. |

The app is really slow. everything seems to work, but it takes minutes for things to happen if you are on att and a little faster if you're on wifi. I would sooner use my key fob to locate my car, but if you locked your key fob in the car (and don't want to call bmw assist) or you lost the car in a huge parking lot, this will do. You just have to be really patient.
I push the locate button and the update button (top right hand corner of the app). Wait some minutes and it will show up on the map. |

I had the UK Apple Store version since last year and all worked fine. I just "upgraded" to the US version (GUI is a bit different) , and now it no longer works. I am getting "error during data transfer" messages.
I know the signal is getting to the car. If you have used it successfully, you will know that about 45 seconds after making the request, your BMW will make a vacuum sound (like the electrical system starting up?) just prior to flashing/honking/unlocking. May car is doing that, but then nothing happens. Any ideas? |
