Remote Services
Just taken delivery of my new vehicle and I was wondering about the Remote Services.
Its currently priced at £60 and I can order it from the Connected Drive App. Is it worth it? What can I do with it? |

It gives you these options
Lock / unlock car Flash lights Put fan on Check fuel level and range Any check control messages Whether any door or windows are closed Send an address to the satnav See where the car is See mileage of car Personally think for the sake of £60 it is worth it. Use it quite a bit myself and unless you have remote parking, I think replaces the functionality of the display key for less money. Also as an app on the phone but you can also access it via a website aswell |

It'll allow you to operate few functions via the App. Here's a screenshot of enabled services via the App.

Judging by my experience , the attempt fails the car would not appear to acknowledge so it never tries again. If car is in a good coverage area I have not had any issues. It will show up under notifications in idrive along with a small icon on the dashboard( at least the full lcd display one anyway) Very useful |

I haven’t got it on my app and it’s still showing at £60 on the connected drive store. Bit poor if you have to pay £60 for this basic functionality that used to be free

This just came to mind.
If you use the BMW Remote app with your car/phone and then sell the car, and the person who buys it does not use the app nor signs into the web site, how can the new owner make sure that no one is connected to the car? That is, from the iDrive itself? |

Hey, antah,
I'm from Czech Republic too, and have the same problem. It's legislation which forbids BMW to allow Remote 3D View in the cars. But I suppose this could be easily coded. Before I start with searching and experiments, by any chance, did you managed it already? Quote:
