You can press OPTION on the bottom right of the idrive controller when the cursor is on the installed app menu and select "download and update apps". That way you may be able to get the news app back and also update other apps. |

In fact, it is back with the dealer again because: Email keeps losing configuration Auto seat heating has a mind of its own, works one day, not the next Last week, navigation had me in the middle of a lake Radio volume randomly changes for no reason Whole thing is becoming a joke, and neither the dealers nor BMW know how to fix it. BTW, does anyone know if you should see the name (or even the phone number) of the person sending you a text message in iDrive? Thanks in advance |

Good luck with sorting out these issues with BMW. I'm also very disappointed with all the software issues given where this car sits on the market. I have had both cheaper and more expensive cars previously and experienced much less problems. At least, mechanically the car drives fantastic. |

Sounds borderline unsafe and disappointed on your behalf at such bad QA standards |

While driving. Had the HUD so I could see speed at least. Came back the next day, and the dealer said they fixed it when I dropped it off the next day - no detail though.

Just thought I'll share my experience recently... the remote features from the app doesn't work for me when my car has been parked for a period of time (eg overnight). The command kept returning "failed".
And then without the vehicle key on me, I pressed the boot/trunk release button and of course it did not open but the electronics in the car seemed to wake as I'm hearing some whirring noises and the hazard light button inside lit up. After that, I can unlock/lock the car with the app. It seems that when the car goes into a "deep sleep" mode, it stops receiving commands from the server. I'm sure this is not normal operation. |

My Connected Drive App got stuck in a "Searching for a car location" mode last time I remotely checked it 3 days ago. It freezed and no other remote service can be checked neither the car status gets updated. I have removed the car from the app and added it again but that didn't work. I called BMW and they are looking for a solution but maybe you guys get any hints?

Same here still. My issue with cruise control was due to my old vintage number plates getting in the way but now adjusted and fixed. I'm on software version.60 but everything Connected Drive is still dead. Can't even register the car on the app as the code never gets through. Nearly mid July and no fix in sight so the extras I will be expecting are growing!

So can anyone tell me if the connected drive services in the G20 is what we are meant to have?
I was told you would be able to download Spotify , an internet explorer, deezer etc and run it direct from the car using its data independent to a mobile phone

The onboard data connection seems to be only used for the news and weather apps, and things like transferring vehicle data to/from the server. |
