Can’t download BMW ConnectDrive for iPad?

Running the latest iOS and can’t download BMW Connect on my iPad?? No issues for my Android. I am literally walking out the door to go pick up my new vehicle and have my account all set up on my Galaxy Note 8 but can’t get the app on my iPad. Strange.

Unless your iPad has cellular capabilities - that are enabled, you will see a message “this app requires specific features not available in this device”. The App requires cell service to work.

Thanks. Makes sense. Where is the remote start on the app? Is it “ventilate now”?

I no longer have a cellular iPad, but remote start works on my iPhone X and at least one owner here says he does a remote start with his Apple Watch.
