Remote Unlock in Canada
I could have sworn in a previous version of the ConnectedDrive app I could unlock the car, but now I only have the lock option. What gives?

I checked all three cars and they are all consistent with Lock, Lights and Horn as the three basics options.

You get lock, unlock, horn and headlight flasher. I have only tested the lights flashing so far and can't confirm if unlocking works since my car is at the dealer to take care of an electronic issue that came up 2 days after delivery. Also, I can't take a screenshot of the app, seems to be disallowed by the app. I'll try to get my wife to take a pic of my screen and send it to me. GG |

I’m wondering as well if the App for IPhone and Android are different.
EDIT: this is from the Apple Store. What the heck? |

I uninstalled and reinstalled the iPhone App and no change. Maybe it's a US / CANADA thing.

The app you have isn't available in the Canadian iTunes Store any more.

My wife needed me to remotely unlock the car this morning because she left her purse, with her keys in the car last night and I locked the car. After holding the button for 2-3 seconds, seeing the progress bar go to full, thus giving the impression that it would work, I just got prompted to call a 1-800 number instead of having the car be automatically unlocked. Sorry about that. GG |

I tried locking my car via the app. Even thou it said was successful, it didn’t lock the x5 and still showed on the app as unlocked. Go figure!
Using android app in Canada. I have no ventilation function available either for some reason.

Update, I pressed unlock on the app and said I have to call Bmw assist to request vehicle unlock. ****** Since I’m an android user, play store doesn’t have BMW Connected app in Canada in the ‘playstore’. (Maybe for BlackBerry it’s not available in Canada?) I’ve been using the US workaround by running a apk. Before that I was using BMW REMOTE app but switched to the BMW Connected app because it had more features. Anyhow, it just dawned on me that the ‘unlock’ feature I remember seeing on the BMW REMOTE app. I just downloaded it and it is there. ‘Lock, unlock, horn and headlight flasher’

It's amazing that we have such variance in both our car's features and ConnectedDrive App. I have none of the stuff you guys have. There is no consistency whatsoever. What the hell BMW!

Latest iOS Connected Drive App has enabled UNLOCK in Canada! The most surprising thing, however, is that it works. And also surprising, LOCK still works as well. Whoa!
