Adding X5 to BMW Connected App Pre-Delivery
Has anyone been able to successfully add their X5 to their BMW Connected app after the car has been built, but before it has arrived at the dealership? I've seen some users post that they were able to add their car to the app while it was still in transit from SC to the dealer, but not sure how this is possible since the app sends a 6-digit code to the car when you're trying to add the car to the app, and you have to have physical access to the car to be able to enter the code back into the app (i.e., duo factor authentication). Anyone have tips on how I can add the car without this code? Thanks!

Usually the dealer needs to add the car to the system too. The 7 digit pin is part of the puzzle, but then you need the code that display in the car, but it starts with the dealer adding the car to the connected drive account with the services.

I had actually gotten an email with the subject: "Your registration with BMW ConnectedDrive." Then logged into my account (which I hadn't used in 3 years) and the car was there. |

My VIN locates but unable to add car due to the code on display screen. Will try the above remove/add app idea, but if not, no harm as will take care of this during PCD.

Thanks everyone! It sounds like there is a common theme here. Those who did PCD were able to connect their car to the Connected App without the code, likely because you signed the lease/purchase agreement prior to pickup, which allowed your dealership to activate the My Connected services on the car and link it to your account. I believe if they do this, it automatically adds the car to the app without having to put in a duo authentication code. This explains it.
