I just picked up a f15, trying to get my remote app to work, there was no option on the connected drive portal. I called the helpdesk, they said it was an optional extra at factory..
The option they said I needed was called Remote Services. I checked the UK spec page and it's standard on the f15's... So confused lol. Anyone have this same problem in the UK? |

Did you also add the connecteddrive services package? It was a £230 extra last time I looked.
Without it you can send map locations to your satvav but not much else. No remote unlocking etc. |

With hindsight being an exact science you should have specified the Connected Drive option as discussed at length in the thread. A good dealer would have sold you the option - a rearity in itself |

I only know you need the Connected Drive option because I didn't specify it! At the time I remember being told it gave you concierge service etc but not that you needed it for the remote you work. I've lost count of how many concierge services I have access to but have never used so I didn't add that option.
The lack of knowledge at dealers is frustrating (and much discussed on this forum). It is also frustrating that this is a factory only option and not standard on the X5 when, I believe, it may be standard on the normal 5 series. |

If it wasn't for this forum I would have been in the same situation as you..I originally ordered Auxiliary Heating w/o Connected Drive but changed it after reading through the various posts. So glad I did....its a good service to have and works well. |

I think that is spot on + some of the other comments after a lengthy investigation. When I went to test drive it, they sang songs about the remote apps, flashing headlights, locking, air climate remotely etc..etc. Looking back at the quote given, I don't think they even realized this themselves... So in summary, to have any real use of "BMW My Remote App", you need to purchase "ConnectedDrive Services Package". The "0" cost optional equipment for "Remote Services" is a little misleading as it isn't at "0" cost because once you select it, it automatically adds the "ConnectedDrive Services Package" Hope that helps those about to order a new car. Just to emphasize, this needs to be done at factory on manufacturing I was told. You cannot add after! |
