Problems sending addresses to car

Is anyone having problems with SendToCar or googlemaps send today or is it a personal problem?

I associated the email address from my own car to my new one. When I try either the SendToCar iphone app or googlemaps send I get an error.

And in your application, you logged in with BMW as your make and your email address in all caps that is associated with your BMW Assist account?

I tried all lower case then all caps in both the app and test app, then google. No such luck. I tried it again just now (I had BMW make the update about 6 or so hours ago) and it still doesn't work.

@Barbja, sometime it takes a while to get it sent to the car.
One time it took me half a day to get it.
Anyway, check your Paypal, sent you the invoice already.

Google got rid of that with their "new look" a while back. I'm now noticing that the "Send to car" from the BMW App never arrives now too!

Yes, that's happened to me before too, but this time I'm getting outright failures from the apps. Vexing.

Also -- I just paid the invoice. Sorry for the delay.

Hmm, send-to-car via the app works just fine for me. The app doesn't tell you if the send was successful, though, so I got five msgs with directions to Starbucks.

It has been working for me from the app. Occasionally it takes a long time to send. Its like it gets lost in the satellite for a while.

Regarding Google if you click on the question mark on the lower right hand corner it opens a popup window. Select return to classic Google and you can send addresses from there.

With the new-look Google maps, they just buried it under the "More" drop-down. Once you click there, it shows Send and then either Mail or Car. Shoulda just left well enough alone and kept the one-click Send To Car button from the main info card/box.

Just tried it couple of times, worked every single time sending it from web to car.
Maybe you guys know, I saw couple of videos showing full size web browser on iDrive, how do you access that?

I think you need to have ordered the 'Internet' option.

Thanks for the tip. I just discovered this works when I am logged into Google Maps. If not logged in you can click on the ? in the lower right hand corner and return to classic Google maps and send.

I use old-style google so I can still click on the point to get the more->send option.

I get send errors from both the app and google about 5 seconds after I attempt the send. I'm thinking that it may have to do with the dealer not having me sign an assist agreement. The assist guy said they don't have one on file and I don't have a copy of one in my paperwork. I also don't have my password because of that. I'll call them on Monday to see what's up.

I can use BMW remote app to send an address to my F15. However, I can no longer use classic Google Maps to send an address.

I had to change my BMW Assist address from a POP3 account to a Gmail account to be able to use "send to car" when using the new Google Maps and logged in with my G-id.

Hey, thanks. I just tried it and that's a nice alternate way to do it.

GMaps app or BMW remote app? I can never find the "Send to car" option on the Gmap app. No issues with BMW Remote.
