Connected Drive Issues?
Hi everyone
I have had the car a week and a bit and am loving it! (M235i). However Connected Drive is frustrating - it is not sending a code to the car so thus far i have got nothing for the money i paid for this option. Anyone else experience problems getting this set up? |

I think they have to get some guy from BMW headquarters to set it up. Shouldn't take long once that's done.
But to be honest... it's pretty lousy - the news/internet is always slow/not working. The only thing it is useful for is the live traffic. |

Coincidentally I got a marketing email from BMW a day ago, one of the options they were promoting was Connected Drive so i emailed them back expressing my 'displeasure'
To their credit they replied straight away with instructions (still doesn't work) and a follow up with the dealership. |

It's really disappointing, especially for what you pay for it. Besides live traffic and being able to send destinations to the car via the app it's basically unusable ~ i can't believe that the in-car-Hyundais and Holdens have better connectivity than BMW's in Aust, it's embarrassing

It takes up to 2 weeks for connected drive to function.
But yes I agree with others, it's useless, live traffic is the ONLY important feature, I have the weather up as well, but internet is just a novelty, even if it's fast I doubt I'd use it, just a novelty. Checking anything on your phone is easier and faster.

Suddenly last night I got a traffic warning about a breakdown ahead on the harbour bridge. So you must be right about the two weeks. However when I tried to install the app on my phone it said I dont have a car on the account....although I do.
