It's very frustrating. I have tried getting in touch with different coders, no one was able to help. Everyone is same frustrated. I have called CD Germany, they explained that it is not even supposed to work lolI was concerned about the non-functioning connected drive and apps for a US Spec car here in Italy too... However, I can confirm that it works flawlessly, no issues. I just received a new custom ordered 2025 X5 Drive 40i and all I did was send the email to BMW NA with a copy of the title and registration for validation (dealer said to do this for the warranty to start even though Im in Italy and there is a warranty while in Europe too). Anyhow, not sure if it was the validation over email, but all I know is that I have Connected Drive and have the My BMW App and can access all features with no issues for the apps and remote start, remote viewing, everything, etc.
even though they declare roaming works in western part of EU. Probably the woman the phone wasn't very qualified... Well anyway, I still don't have CD working on my G26 2022. I really want to have RTTI for maps and remote ventilation, since BMW navigation is much better integrated + HUD and it works amazing on long trips...I still have BMW USA CD account linked to my vehicle, didn't need to send any papers or anything, everything worked online. But that was in France, as soon as I came back to Germany, no connection.
