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? |

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.

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? |
