Just bought an F30 and bmw online not connecting to phone

I've just bought my first F30 and bmw online doesn't connect to my phone even though I e enabled hotspot and it shows ticked in data transfer.
I also tried my partners phone and still no joy.
Music and messages work fine.

What am I missing

Not sure if I have fully understood, but I believe BMW Online uses the inbuilt SIM card in the car. You have to activate your connected drive account in order to use it. Can be done over the phone or online.

Will they give me a username etc or do I have to pay something.

You can apply online here

http://www.bmw.co.uk/en_GB/topics/ow...plication.html

May take a day or two, but they should text you the user name and password. The first 3 years from new is included. After that it costs £120pa, I think.
