BMW Connected App update for iOS 10.1

bimmerstyler · 02-28-2019, 08:06 PM

Anyone notice anything new in it?

Wichita · 02-28-2019, 08:27 PM

iOS 10.1? Still running that?

10.1 is the version of the app. Sorry. Pretty confusing title to the thread.

russelldav · 02-28-2019, 10:22 PM

Here's what version 10.1 brings us...

wanderlustX5 · 02-28-2019, 10:25 PM

I am not seeing it is due for update in my iPhone? The version is still 10.0.2

avengerboater · 02-28-2019, 10:55 PM

And yet, the Android version hasn't been updated since October.

It's like we're the redheaded step child of BMW.

MikeElmendorf · 03-01-2019, 06:27 AM

Updated but not seeing these new features.

yep, it’s out there. It hasn’t done the auto update, which is good. Mines working really well right now need to let a couple others test it first.

I updated my iPhone app last night, but how do you enable Amazon Alexa IN the car? I followed the steps in the app to link our Alexa to our connected drive account. So I can now unlock the car or check the fuel range from my living room couch by voice...but this has no effect on adding Alexa IN the car itself. Ideas?

ScottMZ3 · 03-01-2019, 09:57 AM

According to some google searches, all BMWs built after March 2018 should have Alexa enabled. So...why isn’t it?

Still plenty of complaints that the app is loaded with issues. One would think that BMW Connected Drive Services would fully beta test before releasing the golden master version to the general public.

Usher9387 · 03-01-2019, 02:44 PM

thanks guys, i just updated 10.1.1473 but i don't see any difference between the previous version.

bigrobb2 · 03-02-2019, 06:44 PM

I had to delete and reinstall to get the new version. Update wasn't an option
My Apple watch app no longer works

Don't update if you use the Apple Watch app.

Thanks for the iW alert!

"Done is better than perfect."

Mantra of millennial software developers and the companies for which they work... including, clearly, BMW.

Problem is, their definition of "done" is different than consumers'.

That's where MVP (Minimum Viable Product) enters the picture. They push out crap they expect consumers to beta test for them.

Here's a short post that captures the spirit of how this operates. Software development methodologies such as DevOps have made the situation even worse in the years since this post was written.
