BMW Connected - Welcome Name
Hi All
Each time I get in the car I'm greeted by a welcome message on the central display ”Welcome” & then my email address. Anyone know how I change that so that it says my name rather than an impersonal email address? I'm sure it's something to do with my BMW connected account but I can't find anything in the settings. Cheers 😀 |

I did a test and this worked. I changed my first name on the CD site and now when I get into the X5 the welcome message has the updated first name.

No, I changed it to a version of my first name but TurtleBoy works also.

coded a few things the other day. one was welcome screen to say BMW. got a message that said this would not show all the time, but "under certain circumstances" or something like that. i've seen it a few times since, but got in the car yesterday and the screen showed a grey-ish 3D like image of a city landscape??! never saw that before. didn't pay much attention as i typically don't, and went away pretty quickly. anyone else see this?

How can the name be changed?
Hello all, I am working with a friend of mine trying to change the name displayed on the welcome screen. From the driver profiles page in the X5, it says that the name can be changed from the Connected Drive customer portal. On the online portal, the only way I can see possible to change the name is by calling BMW customer relations. I and others have called a few times now and found no resolution. How did you change the welcome name to TurtleBoy? Has there been a change to connecteddrive accounts since the original post that makes this impossible? Any and all advise is appreciated, thanks.
