You have to select Climatize Now.

I still can't get my digital key on my phone to work. Says incapable device for a galaxy s10 on Verizon.
I assume that is where the remote start is, because I can't find it either. |

The Android version of the app does not have remote start/climatize with any of the Android phones I have tried. Hopefully, BMW is working to add that functionality.

Samsung note 9. I used the climatize feature on my x5. It didnt do much, but when I turned it on from the app, the interior climate fan would be running when I got in. It definitely worked and I could choose a time for it to start.

Called bmw connected, no help. Told me call bmw genius. He had me updated apps, and reinstall connected app. Didnt work. Said to call bmw connected and make sure app configured right. I called connected app number but they cant help, say they only handle billing issues. They told me to take it to the dealer. Then I'm like... lady, when i take it to dealer they are going to call you. Lol. What a runaround. Everything works except I have no option to climatize in application, when X7 is chosen. If I choose precious X5 it's there. ????
Any one else able to "climatize" their X7 from android app? |

My ConnectedDrive app does nothing but show me the current fuel range, mileage, and locked status. No remote functions work. The only response I have gotten from the “genius” is that the technology is glitchy. BMW should just include a display key and scrap an app that they are not committed to making reliable in a $90,000 vehicle.

Has anybody tried an Alexa workaround?
Since I have Android as well and am not planning to switch I was planning on using the Alexa Android App and the BMW skill to start the vehicle by voice command. This, to my knowledge, is probably the most effective way to start a BMW from an Android App... Sure, it's not part of BMW's official App but a true alternative if it's working... |

I don’t see anywhere that says which version, but I get the message “No upgrades available” when I click on upgrade to latest version.

It was? When I look it up in app store, says last update April 19th. I see where it says about the last update can auto start car, but that and/or climatize is not showing up in app. I uninstalled and reinstalled just to make sure. Not working here. I have an email in to a bmw genius. No reply yet.

As was posted elsewhere, you need to be logged into your Connected Drive account in the car... you will only have a few basic features until this is done.
Once you log in, all your preferences and privacy settings will have to be re-enabled. Then you should be good Last edited by Thrangster; 07-25-2019 at 02:47 PM.. |
