MyBMW Profile picture

Did you notice, when you set the profile picture in the new MyBMW app it is also used as profile picture for the car profiles.
I couldn't do that with the old connected drive or the bmw portal website.

The MyBMW app is something you can install on your phone.
When you edit your profile picture that it will be automatically changed in the car.
If everything is connected to each other of course

Regionality people, regionality :-). MyBMW app is not (yet) available in US, Canada, and many other regional App Stores. Just available in limited Eu stores for now.

If you are on Android just search Google for MyBMW Apk and install. Worked for me.

So, you're not in "US, Canada, and many other regions", are you? :-). So maybe your experience isn't the same in markets it's not released yet? Maybe? :-)

In any case, Apple App Store has very strong and fine-grained regional release control available to app publishers. I think Android Play Store does as well, but memory is failing me if that's actually the case and, by default, Android ecosystem is generally much less controlled than Apple's ... so it would be interesting to know if anyone in "unreleased regions" got the MyBMW app on Android yet?

I changed my Apple store to UK and can download the my bmw app, I can even register a new account but once you add the NA VIN, it will not pass that so pretty much useless until it's officially available in US store

Sorry. I use the mybmw app on android europe. I signed in with my bmw account. Changed the profile picture. The next day I saw that same picture when the car said ' Welcome'
I used the same account on my car. Finally I see the difference good between my profile and my wifes profile. Although it should be linked to the key, the car doesn't switch always.

Ahhh, that's why!! Seems like a simple feature to add for US customers. I'd like to pick the name my car greets me with and not the one from the connected account.
