I'm having the same issue.
I selected clock with weather and all I get it the clock.
I selected weather and I still just get the clock.
I also just got my x6 two days ago.

all this money and BMW can't fix a widget????

Same here - frustrating as the 'analog' clock really does't scale properly, thereby looking like a cheap digital watch -

Aside from the widgets (when they work) - I find the split screen content options leaving a lot to be desired - a clear flat-spot on what has been an outstanding machine to date

Good thing I enjoy the full screen versus the split screen I don't have to worry about if the widget is working or not

I am just back from Hong Kong/mainland China now facing one month on the road (4K+) and this is what BMW gives me? I find the weather/digital clock widget very helpful with driving on the open road since the cabin is already busy with radar detectors and an iP6 with related apps.

An new information on when this will be resolved.

Can someone post the steps to get this clock to display. I just don't see that option in my car. is it available on USA models? I would like to do split screen with clock and nav or radio

Just reporting the first day of driving 4K and the absence of our apps is very disappointing as my iP is used for other tasks and today is a severe weather day in OK.

Is the widget really that helpful in severe weather? Its a slow 3g connection that doesn't offer realtime info.

If you are concerned with severe weather while driving during the iPhone app RadarScope. It is the only realtime weather radar...all the other apps have a slight delay. I use RadarScope everyday, it is a great resource.

As I said, my iP is busy with apps related to my CMs (EL + SA) so although the BMW app does not give me a detailed moving radar scan, it does provide useful information when on the open road driving a few 100 miles a day.

My real-time traffic and analog clock came back yesterday....Maybe we're close to the full re-release again ?

What is funny is that most people are complaining that these digital clock is being displayed instead of the weather forecast. lol.

That clock is available in US cars.. go to the widget menu and look for the clock only display.

OK Thank you - I got that working, and now I see what everyone is complaining about - no clock + weather in split screen. so strange that weather works in full screen

This method shows a five day forecast and details for morning, mid day, evening etc, even when the split screen widget is not working:

This proves the data is received, but BMW has a software issue

I like this display - I'm out of the country on vacation now, but will try as soon as I return
