![]() Hope they find a solution for you.What BMW iDrive system does my vehicle have? In many of today’s BMW vehicles, the majority of secondary vehicle systems are managed by the iDrive computer system. Mine sometimes doesn't work for an hour ore so but starts to work spontaneously. CD lady said they get phone calls all day about this problem and apparently they are working on it. Then everything worked but for only 5 minutes!! Hasn’t worked since and that was three weeks ago. I talked to CD they somehow removed my vehicle from the app I put it back on. It use to update mileage and gas etc but the remote functions never worked. I get the code and can see the vehicle in my app. I had a car with idrive 6 before and it only took two seconds the get the code and activate the connection. ![]() Maybe you can put a bit more pressure on them to activate the app. You need to give the vin of your car and the e-mail adress of your CD account. The app kept on telling me the code had ben sent but it wasn't.įinally I called the CD online helpdesk (Belgium Holland) and within 5 minutes they activated the CD account on my phone. I didn't get the code in my car to activate CD app on my iPhone. Love the X5 but want the connected drive app to work!! Anyone having similar problem? Suggestions? Thanks. I know BMW is having problems with connected drive but it seems to be with idrive 7? Tried all the suggestions from this forum, the useless genius and called connected drive people who told me it would be a month or more before someone got back to me. Having connected drive issues with the 2020 idrive 7 but not the 2019 idrive 6 vehicle. Bought a 2019 X2 and a 2020 X5 in November. So many HERE POIs are placed wrong on the map.when they actually show up. It just searches HERE and Yelp for online POIs. Oh 7 does search online, not disputing that. Alternative is to search in the cd app indeed and sent to car. In Idrive 6 I had to click on online search but in 7 you can start typing in "search" with the same functionality. So I start with the name of a store and sometimes I need to put in the city too and the navigation finds it. I found out that when in the navigation menu and you select search and start typing it will show destinations from contacts in your iPhone but also online. That is why even if sitting in the car, I always pull out my phone, search in CD app and send to car the location.Īnnoying 2 step process, which nonetheless works I mean, just look at how poorly OTA is working around the world. That option does not exist in 7 at the moment.įrankly, 7 has a lot of potential, but BMW has really messed up the rollout. Your contacts can see either your ETA or live location - perfect for when you may be meeting people up for dinner. If you use the "share live trip status" on 6, it works perfectly. Your CD portal will show that you have it in your car with 7, but the reality is that it's not enabled. If you live in an area of high growth where new businesses pop up all the time, you know that Google is the best at getting POIs up-and-running.Ħ also has ConnectedDrive+ functionality actually working. 7 only pulls POIs from the onboard nav, online through HERE, and online through Yelp. I'll explain.Ħ has Google search built in, which is huge. It also looks better IMHO.Ħ has more usable functionality. Saw this thread and thought I'd chime in since we have two BMWs, one with iDrive 6 and one with iDrive 7.ħ is quicker to render maps, and is quicker to reroute based on RTTI. You can also bask in the glory of a unicorn lease deal-I suspect you'll live. That said, it's an M5–you'll get over it. Voice control on 7 is leaps and bounds ahead. oh wait, you're in the US, right? Well, if it isn't on my 2020 and it definitely wasn't on my 2019, then I doubt it's on yours. My 2020 M5 Comp doesn't have proximity unlock/lock-probably a USA thing. Let me put it like this, I wouldn't get another new bimmer if it didn't have IDrive 7 (or later). ![]() I went from a 2019 M5 to a 2020 and the IDrive change comes along for the ride. Especially the locking and unlocking approaching and walking away. Anyone here have both and notice significant differences that would be concerning? I love being able to create settings for each individual key and profile through Connected Drive. I'm getting very comfortable with 7 and am concerned 6 will be a major step down. My 2019 M5 with iDrive 6 arrives at the end of this week. My wife just received her 2020 X5 with iDrive 7.
