As I posted elsewhere, just take a few minutes to read some of the reviews on the Apple App Store regarding the BMW Connected Drive App. Absolutely shocking some of the issues. I take delivery of a G20 330E in a few weeks time and had hoped to use it for more than just sending destinations asI do to my current 520D. Not looking forward to similar issues.

I've found the app generally ok in my 3 weeks of ownership (running .40 build). I had one period where it was only partially connected to the car for 24 hours but it sorted itself out (no update on location/charge state but I could lock/unlock/flash the headlights).

The rest of it seems to work fine although there are gaps in functionality (e.g. lack of reporting on journey metrics such as MPG, electric usage etc.) Would also be good to get it to send a notification when charge is complete. I've submitted 3-4 things to the "Send Feedback" section.

The Apple Watch app also works well. Limited functionality but useful to check charge state in meetings, pre-condition the car etc.

Probably nothing anyone at the dealer will understand given the various software related discussions/experiences on this board.

I had a fault with my Mondeo which manifested as a hissing sound through the speakers (regardless of whether any audio was being played) The car was off the road for 3 weeks (!!) until they fixed it. Turned out some unit responsible for central locking and electric windows was causing noise on the comms bus which also carried the audio. They didn't have a clue and replaced all kinds of things before solving it (new amp, new head unit, speakers, wiring etc)

BMW need to set up a proper technical support helpline rather than relying on their dealers. Changing the oil and replacing brake pads has little in common with diagnosing computer faults or glitches...

Having someone "official" on this kind of forum actively supporting us when we have problems would be another good step. Companies like Microsoft have been doing this for years...

But good luck for tomorrow!

I rebooted my iDrive 7 this morning and this has restarted the weather feed and also enabled Driver Recorder, which hadn't worked since I picked my car up last week. I'd suggest thrying that and see if it works.

If in doubt... do a reset...

Press the vol button and hold it pressed for at least 15 seconds... screen will reset. No settings are lost.

A reboot of iDrive normally fixes it.

My weather app also isn't working - stopped about a week ago. One day I noticed a new app appeared, then disappeared. I've had nothing but problems with the connections from G20 since acquiring it. I'm going to post separately now.

Reboot

Just reboot your iDrive system. Press the power/volume button in and hold it until everything turns off. This corrects the issue for me. Also refreshes everything like your GPS and whatnot.
