Android..BMW my remote app

After a lot of trouble I managed to install the App (apk). It looks good on the phone, when I sign in it shows my car in correct color on top but when I execute any commands ... nothing happens... just an error message after some 45 seconds.

I tried this with my previous 550i and had the same problem. So I don't think its a 6 series issue.

Has any one managed to install this app in the US on an android device? Does it work for you?

Even though please share your experience. Does the app work with the latest I drive app?.. Specially since 6NR was integrated..

Finally the Android US version of the app was released on 07/02. I installed it but I'm still getting the same error I was experiencing with the Euro version apk I installed. So the good news: now there is an official app at the Play Store. the bad news: it doesn't seem to work! lol

I tried it. I get a message saying my smart phone does not have Internet access..... I think what it means is that it cannot connect to BMW servers... Teething troubles perhaps will call them tomorrow

This is now working! I just tested find car, flash headlights and remote horn and those work perfectly. Send to car failed and the other ones haven't tested yet.

Yep it all works as advertised..

I noticed my old boot leg app had more choices like the number of times the horn would sound but not a big issue. We may see updates... to include these as BMW gets properly set with Android in the US.

So I have downloaded the new app, and my username and password do not work. I call BMW and they tell me that the app is not officially released and because of that it will not function and I an not allowed to login.

Answer me this you smart guys, why does everybody but mine work?

I'm pretty sure I'm not one of the smart guys you are referring to but I'll try to answer anyway. Do you know if your account is active. e.g. are you able to use "send to car" from a computer? if so, remember to enter your username always in UPPER case.

The Android app is working fine in my 2 cars. Good luck
