MYBMWUSA site Error on VIN

I am trying to add my vehicle to the BMW USA website and when I list my 7 seven digit VIN, it come back with error. Tried 0 and O / capital letters but still nothing. I am going to call BMW next week but wanted to ask the forum.

I am assuming you have to add to the website to use Android BMW app to open/heat/cool your BMW through your smartphone.

Any help would be much appreciate it.

Thanks.

It may be that it will read US VINs only.

The website is generally several weeks behind.

@MattBianco, when I type the VIN in the site, it tells me that my F15 is a 1987 5 series. LOL Gotta figure this one out. BMW customer call center....

As @mysticblue accurately points out, the databases are not regularly updated. I'd check back both sites soon.

Also, make sure 0 and O are not substituted for one another as you input, same with I, 1 and l, and 5 and S.....in case you make the mistakes I am famous for.

Meanwhile, how is your 27 year old 5 series?

Yeah, it told me mine was a motorcycle for a couple of weeks.
