I'm not sure when it will be built (so far, no tracking updates) but I know for sure that - if everything goes as planned - will be picking it up on February 15th. That's when my lease expires and I'm going to drop off my Q7 at my local dealer. It's very convenient that both dealerships are directly next to each other and belong to the same family.

Initially, I did not understand what BMW was doing. So you have the option to get into your vehicle without a key which was only possible with a (Samsung) Android phone and once you made it into the vehicle, it was tailored to Apple.

Also I don't understand why BMW dropped Google Assistant, it was working fine a month ago, but now they added Alexa and in the BMW Connected Apps you only see Alexa and no Google Assistant. That sucks... |

BMW promised a full in-vehicle Alexa integration for a while now so I'm curious if it's finally here...

I was actually referring to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJcgJyjnJfA I don't see much sense in Alexa integration in the vehicle when it's limited to the already available App-commands. Why would I want to remote-start and lock/unlock a vehicle I'm already sitting in? Turning on the lights at home/opening the garage etc. is what I want...

I did read that we could download the camera Apps once they release it. It's still in the early stages I think.

I love wireless CarPlay and wouldn't buy another vehicle without it. Our previous Mercedes GLS 550 supported wired CarPlay but I found it to be a hassle to plug my iPhone every time I jumped in the car, even for a quick trip to the store and back. Even the 2020 GLS requires a wired connection (big miss for MB IMO). Those of you with Android phones are gonna love having a wireless connection. Of course you'll still have to put up with the Android OS but that's for another forum.

I think this function is already included on 2020 builds no? I did get the last system update for my 2019 when I brought it in for service, the menu icons changed along with 'experience my car' or something along those lines, but no dash cam function.

Yes, it is. It's also listed as standard feature on my 2020 M50i order on myBMW.

I'm thinking we might be able to code it once the smart people figure it out.

The Mercedes Me App is the worst in the industry, no wonder it has worse ratings. The circle keeps rotating forever and finally crashes. Remote start never worked properly (less than 25% of the time in 3 yrs). It's been less than a week and the remote start from App works flawlessly on X7, within few seconds. Upon entering, engine doesn't shutdown unlike Mercedes. |
