New Entertainment service .. games and video portal
BMW just made available the promised game service and the previously trialed TiVo video service. All wrapped up under a new entertainment service
Free trial for a year available in the connected drive store Anyone’s guess how the activation process goes ! |

I activated the trial. It was straightforward and was activated quickly there after.
The download took a while and it downloads two applications. As for the apps. The Tivo Video service is exactly as it was before during the testing last year (in otherwords bad) where you still can't use the idrive controller in the app and the screen real estate has not being optimized for the strange iDrive screen size. The Airconsole games service is exactly as i would have expected it to be. Probably something more for the younglings. |

How do you get the AirConsole app to show in App Library?

Once the apps do appear (merely shortcuts) and you select one, it will then take a further 20 minutes or so for the apps to actually download to the car. |

So even though “Entertainment” shows active in connected drive store, it still takes a few days for the app to actually appear? Same with “Traffic Camera Information”. Both are active for me but I don’t see how to use them anywhere. Thank you!

5 days and still no Apps are showing up even though connected drive shows them as active. Have done multiple manual system updates (of which no new updates were available). Anyone have an idea how to troubleshoot?

Have you tried a reboot of iDrive? Sometimes that kicks in app updates that are "lost in space".

Yes! Finally got the widgets though shouldn’t have needed to reset twice and spend all that time. Traffic camera information either doesn’t work where I’m located or doesn’t work at all and entertainment just seems to be low resolution kids games (I never got an entertainment app banner like others have, just one for air console games) unless I’m missing something. Took a lot of time and unnecessary troubleshooting.
