RuleNormaliai wroteOkay thanks, lets hope it becomes active after I drive a while or when I cross borders 😄when UPDATE APPS AND SERVICES becomes white in your country, then you can make it work, if it is greyed out - can't do that.

I ask my dealer for a "change of market" so my VIN gets put onto the German servers and no roaming is needed anymore. I guess I need to replace my ATM-02 US with the ECE version right?
tokolossi wrotetell us pls when dealer wiil change the car location and switch it to european area.when driving in Austria the "Update Apps and Services" becomes active but it fails to actually work after a minute or so.

RuleNormaliai wroteHey can you PM me your IG or something where I can contact you regarding the CD?if you want we can do it for you(for free of course), don't think that anyone will give it just like that in public.
Akh000 wroteHey man can you contact me and help me out with it?It should work in Germany same like in France.
May be if you chnange MGU settings by ESYS - it will be stable also in Germany.
If you have ESYS+ adapter and need info - PM.
I got my car mapped to my account and I'm in Czechia (supporting country). But the car still seems to be offline ain't no apps and update apps button is grey.
UPDATE: the update apps button sometimes comes active but fail.
Sorry in advance that I write here in G05 thread. I drive G30 2022 US spec in Poland. ConnectedDrive works fine. All apps available. EU maps installed.But, I can’t attach my vehicle to a local dealership and connect it with EU myBMW (error accrued). Did anyone resolved this issue and change car registration country from the USA to Europe?
And that car had a problem with SOS malfunction. After taking the car to a workshop it was found that the TCU module was flooded and needed a replacement due to a leak under shark fin antenna. TCU module was replaced and worked nicely with the car.
Then due to employment changes I had to relocate from the US to Estonia (European Union) and had taken this vehicle with me.
Unfortunately during transport it seems the telematics TCU module got flooded again due to a leak under fin antenna on the roof.
Now I am scratching my head together with BMW dealerships in Estonia as to what part I should replace this TCU module with? The US part or ECE (European part)?
If i were to replace the TCU model with original US part (https://www.bmwautoparts.net/en/catalog/parts/33117/5UXCR6C57KLL22681/0/0/0/0/0 ):
Would it connect to 4G LTE in Estonia or elsewhere in European Union? Will my car receive then BMW message in data/apps to verify my login details?
According to these posts on bimmer forum: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1682440 https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1782592
The vehicle in the post was capable of connecting without any hardware change in Germany (also in EU), however it worked only after email complaints and escalation to BMW upper management to get connected drive working only then there was some sort of collaboration from BMW North America assist and connectedDrive folks to make it work
.
If i were to replace the TCU model with ECE part (https://www.bmwautoparts.net/en/catalog/parts/33117/0/2532/4051/4439/2083/63172 ):
Will my US GSM antenna work with a European module?
Can or should I replace the GSM antenna as well and what implications then?
Will BMW ISTA+ service software allow you to code ECE parts with a vehicle which VIN is US vin code?
//Realizing that this is a complex question with multiple conditions and unknowns, I drew this flowchart diagram in lucid (https://lucid.app/lucidchart/dd18994a-36b3-4331-8db6-e4eda5a82d07/edit?viewport_loc=-2148%2C138%2C3709%2C1421%2C0_0&invitationId=inv_3cc4a9db-9c15-4b67-9e0e-f68c394f73a1 ) with my dilemma and idea how to attempt this replacement.
and just P.S. my car already had connectedDrive in the US and i have an account. Now its hardware issue to get it online to login.

RuleNormaliai wroteSo with this you were able to create your driver profile in Poland and continue using it "offline" in your Country ? is it still working ? Im thinking on doing the same, driving to a Country where it's supported but always have had the doubt if it will disconnect and remove my driver profile once it's detect there is not connection for more than 'x' months.So guys, yesterday i had a trip to Poland just to test if everything works, and woila, successfully connected to US Connected Drive servers, updated all apps and services, logged in my account in car, added car to MyBMW app, thanks Akh000 for support and some tips.
Unfortunately just after leaving Poland "Update apps and services" button got greyed out, so as mentioned in previous post, Lithuania is not in roaming country list and Connected Drive will not work here, but at least now i have my account signed in and all incar apps working.
The car is receiving no communication, and it also does not detect that I have added it to the connected app.
I have recently purchased G70 740i 2023 US-spec imported to EU, Bulgaria.
I have followed some of your advices and activated MyBMW app.
Most of it works, I can see pretty much everything- status, tire pressure, send commands, start engine remotely and so on.
It works even in Bulgaria, although it is Not in the list with supported countries.
The problem is I can Not login the vehicle. The car is saying "no mobile data reception" and I have no explanation how the app is almost fully functional but it says it no reception. Local dealer says there is nothing they could do. Bmw Coding guy says there is no solution at this time.
Any one has any ideas how to fix this?
