Happy New Year from BMW

IDrive 7 has a nifty hidden message from BMW. Say “Happy New Year” to your personal assistant (or find the app/notification in your idrive).

Also, happy new year.

For those of you who can’t be bothered doing that - https://youtu.be/CIY5rNE637Q

HNY.

Checked today with 'Hey BMW, happy new year". Reply "Hope you have a good year. I have something for you.." Then nothing, no NY greeting as per the OP. 🙂Maybe, too late

Thanks noSUV4Me.

Tried voice control again today & there it was!!

I wonder what other greetings or messages they could incorporate. Perhaps, a birthday greeting on your birthday, or the car's birthday!

While it's fun and the kids loved it, I hope they would rather redirect their effort in fixing other issues plaguing idrive 7 - inc. CarPlay connection issue, excessive instrument dimming with tinted windows, too often dropouts of connected drive and RTTI, and almost non existence of map updates. I wish their software engineers would read these forums.
