It worked, but not in the way I intended it to work. Timeline:
-Had a chat with ConnectedDrive DE and the rep said it would likely work as a workaround (Over the phone to avoid a paper trail).
-CD USA got back to me with the old "It can't be done - SIM card - Europe" routine.
-I emailed again to the CD USA branch with the following:
"Team,
I'm attempting to add my new BMW X5 to the ConnectedDrive but am running into issues with the following prompt:
"No data was found for this Vehicle Identification Number."
My vin is: 5XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX8
Attached is the Certificate of Origin. Is there a way to manually link the ConnectedDrive services to my account? Any help would be appreciated."
-They responded a week later with "We checked and found out that the vehicle is missing TCU / SIM Card information because it does not have mandatory SA Code S-06AF.
Without SIM information, the vehicle cannot be imported to our system. Please reach out to the dealer for adding the necessary SA codes."
Two weeks later, ~FEB 24, I get an email that the "Vehicle is now mapped to username". Came by a total surprise. Obviously some services don't work but my android auto, apple carplay, and drive recorder are good.
