Any BMW Owners In Here (Connected Drive Questions)

[TheAlpineOracle]

I recently purchased a new 2016 BMW. Supposed to be fully loaded, and I'm noticing some of the BMW connected drive features don't work. I'm starting to get the feeling that some of these features may not be available in Canada and I honestly don't think the dealership really has much of a clue about the technology in these cars other than the basics.

So I guess what i'm wondering is has anyone else experienced this? Most of the features work, but I can't seem to find the BMW office function or be able to get my emails and texts to sync up. Also, I can't see to get the BMW Remote App to work. It keeps asking me to setup a password, but when I go to create an account it's essentially a dead end. Has anyone been able to get that to work?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Absolutely useless. You get sent to call center in the US who just tells you that your not activated.

You may want to try a brand-specific online forum. You'll usually find a ton of obsessed people there who know much more about the product than the people selling them.

For BMW, go to a place like www.bimmerfest.com or www.bimmerforums.com or www.bimmerpost.com

Make sure to turn the split lanes feature off. Generally frowned upon.

No, I think the OP is just trying to show off that he bought a brand new BMW.....

Do you use an Iphone?

iPhones are notorious for not working well with a lot of vehicle features.

In my vehicle my Samsung S5 works fantastically with the car. iPhone doesn't do anything but receive and make calls.
