BMW Apps?? How??

I'm trying to access the BMW Apps....specifically Stitcher. Where is this apps on iDrive?? How do I access this? I have the app on my iPhone and can stream it, but I thought Stitcher was built into iDrive. Help!!!

I haven't used that app but have you looked at the connected drive? I think all of the apps that work go through the connected drive app. Could be wrong though, haven't done much and only used the connected drive in my F30 via the snap in adapter. Not sure what other options there may be.

I don't know if you have Pandora, but if you use it, can you try to find it through BMW Apps? I use Stitcher a lot, and it's should be in the same place where Pandora would be. I'm trying to access this via Apple's lightening cable. Thanks!

I don't use pandora but I know it does show up under the connected drive, which I think you can use through the lightning cable too. If you're not seeing it in the media menu when when you connect your phone or somewhere else in the menus, I would download the connected drive app and try through there. You would go to connected drive then apps. With the snap in, I know I had to open connected drive on my phone first for it to work.

I figured it out. You REALLY have to follow the iDrive directions to the letter. I started the app prior to iDrive asking me to start the app. That's why it didn't recognize the Stitcher on my iphone.
