Online Services

nsa100 · 09-23-2017, 08:41 AM

Got everything up and running with my Connected Drive account etc...

But I cannot see the Online Services such as Weather & News Feeds.

Can anybody help?

I just ran into this, just a few days ago it stopped showing the weather

Sometimes the servers go down and will start working on their own. How long has it been out?

nsa100 · 09-24-2017, 10:44 AM

Since I got the car on Thursday.

I am not sure what I should be seeing the Connected Drive Menu for Weather??

Anybody have a screen shot?

If you can send me a photo showing that would be great.

I have a call in to my dealer, but I am not sure if there is something I am not doing correctly.

Many thanks in advance.

I will get the picture off tonight. You shouldn't have to do anything at all, it should just be there so you can select (or not) as per your preferences.

Thanks AP

Yes that is how it was in my F11 & how it is in my F10 M5.

I just wanted to check in the G30 as the menu structure is a little different.

Once again many thanks.

OK this is what's on my car. the options connected drive store, BMW assistance, BMW messages appeared straight away, the other options listed below it, took a few more seconds to display.

I recall at the dealers when I picked up the car, the dealer set up my credentials for the remote service app and also showed me the BMW website where I logged on. In all of the excitement, I may have glossed over what was done there a\nd I'm wondering if this is possible where these options may need to be ticked possibly? Just a guess. As I say I really don't recall specifically choosing these.

Might be worth looking at this, hopefully you saw this at the dealer when you took delivery?

Hello AP

Thank you for all your hard work.

Having called the 'Tech Guy' at the dealership yesterday morning, he was going to look into at phone me back....of course he never did. But I checked the system last night and I had to re-login so maybe they rest services back in Germany....

Anyway it started working last night. All the Car Apps are now showing.

I am happy again....just need to get the steering wheel sorted now!
