BMW remote app

[mjw0321]

I have installed this on my phone for my M5. How do I find out my username and password to activate the app?

Hi Its the username and password you use for connected drive

[mjw0321]

Is this something I need to set up? I only got the car at the weekend so have a lot to get up to speed with!

[awg454]

Hi yes you have to set it up have a look here www.bmw-connecteddrive.co.uk

As above, go to the website.

Register with them. They will then send you and e-mail saying you are setup. Takes a few days. You will then recieve 2 text messages with your username then your password.

Login into the online part first before the app!

Then from then you have access to the app and also routes aswell where you can use bmw maps (google maps) to send your route to the car.

Thanks very much both.

I hope unlike me you find a use for it.

Having set it up I really think I'd have better spent my time painting the hallway.

Utterly useless app IMO.

I agree with HoHoHo, if I ever lock the keys in the car then it might shine but until then useless.

Followed the link. Doesn't appear to be a way to register.

Can you not preset the heaters to come on to clear the windows etc? Surely that can be quite useful?

I just use it the connected drive for googlemaps routing and thats really it. Can't do much with the E92 M3

I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually heat the car 9it ay blow cold air if it does anything at all).

I've yet to meet anyone who uses the app aside from being able to send an address to the sat nav.

It's a waste of memory on the iPhone

That's a shame. I expected it to be much more fun!

I used it last summer to cool the car before driving homes on a couple of occasions and it was quite effective, although nothing you couldn't achieve by opening all the windows remotely as you walk up to the car.........

I believe for that to work you need an Aux pre heater which i guess is a BMW option on the already extensive list
