Connected Drive - Am I getting the most out of it ?

Well done. I wish BMW would explain exactly what you get (or don't get) these days when you are buying through their dealerships. All I got was how to switch the lights on and my phone paired as I as about to drive the car away. I did t know anything about things like ConnectedDrive until a few weeks after I bought it. Surely it is in their interests to continue it on an AUC until say, three years old?

Make sure you get everything activated before you take the keys- I had to enter a code into the car when I set up the account and found all I had for nothing was the emergency service - everything else was a cost

I've only found RTTI to be useful. My subscription has just run out and it's going to cost £210 per year to renew. Seems a bit steep!

I agree. The car I've bought has a load of options... The original buyer paid over £48k for it less than a year ago. The fact that he/she specc'd all these bmw connected extras but never even activated an account to use them seems crazy!
