Hey guys,
I'm two days away from picking up Günther von Bimmer (description below in signature) in Spartanburg. I'm SO damn excited, I feel like a kid awaiting Santa's arrival. The worst part, my cousin just picked up his new M550 on Monday and got to see my new boy, sitting there waiting for me. Darn it! LOL! Anyway, I have a question - Can my husband create his own ConnectedDrive mobile app account and connect to Günther von Bimmer without disturbing my connection to the vehicle? How do I work that evil magic? By the way, I connected my ConnectedDrive app to Günther. I can tell how far he's been driven and how much gas is in the tank. LOL! The 3D camera isn't connected to it yet, but I can still see around in the showroom.

2 drivers 2 connected drive accounts.
When creating an account and adding the VIN it asks you if you are primary or secondary. Make sure whoever is primary is primary. When setting it up in the car (logging in the profile) make sure there is only one key in the car, the key you want to be linked to that profile. And congrats!! |

+1 this. my wife and i both have our own bimmers and each have our own Connected Drive account. she's primary on the 540i; i'm primary on the X5 45e. if set up correctly, there will be no confusion no matter who gets in either driver's seat.

Unless something has changed you can share one account but need separate email accounts for each profile to avoid disturbing settings. One is primary the other is secondary. Both accounts have the same functionality and the titling is simply for administrative purposes within the CD the account. That is how we set up ours and have been using it since day one going back to F15 or so.

Thanks guys! The kind folks at BMW Connected Drive were able to assist. All is set, for now. I have to be present in the vehicle to complete the key pairings.

If you are picking up in Spartanburg, they're happy to set up both separate accounts for you. They did it for us and its been seamless since.

Our spare key is locked in the safe and our set up is my wife has the physical key linked to her account and I use the digital key card which is linked to my account.I am happy to carry this in my wallet or inside my iPhone cover and hold it to the door handle to unlock/lock and place it on the charging tray. In Australia the X5 comes with a digital key card and 2 physical keys

I did not manage to link the car to two different phones / accounts.
In one of the phones, I was continuously getting an error message. It only worked when I used same email account in both phones (wife+mine), no idea why? |

Unfortunately here in Europe only one connect drive account is possible. I don't see why they have such difference in US. It makes no sense to have only one account connected to the car and if you have two cars then only one profile is saved in the connect drive server, the other driver don't synchronize. One car- one profile per key but only one profile is sync. I don't think they realize the inconvenient to such thing... |
