BMW Connected app question

i just bought a 2104 x5 and have a question about the connected app.

on my jaguar, there is a screen on the app that tells me all of the information about my recent drives (miles, map, mpg, time, etc.).

it appears there is a screen on the BMW app that would give this data called STATUS but when i go to it, all i see is NO STATUS AVAILABLE- BY CONNECTING YOUR PHONE TO YOUR CAR THROUGH THE BMW APPS CAPABILITY, INFORMATION SHOWN SUCH AS MILEAGE AND AVERAGE SPEED WILL BE SHOWN HERE.

i believe i have already connected my phone to my car as i am able to lock/unlock the doors remotely so is there another step i need to take?

Need to plug the phone via USB port inside arm rest console and then run the app and the info will be updated.

I tried plugging into the usb port and went to the connected drive menu and nothing was obvious. Any other advice would be appreciated.

+1 I tried to get the app working as well via the USB on my 2015 model year X5.

Do we have to pay a subscription?

I think there are 2 different apps, one with the old lock/unlock etc. and one with apps like spotify etc. The latter gives out stats when phone is plugged in.

I have the ‘18 X5d and the connected app showed fuel level the first time I used it and now it doesn’t show that. It is listed in the “enabled features” section but doesn’t actually work. Any thoughts?

No. Pre Dec14 version worked when i collected my car. Then the app updated and windows and doors status is unknown, fuel level is intermittent and charging status is non existent.
