Makes you wonder if you input someone else's vin can you unlock their car etc?
No, unless you accept the code that's sent to the car, in the car on the idrive screen

To add, Connected Drive is that hit and miss even if someone did manage to get you VIN number and you approve the code in your car, Connected Drive will no doubt be down when the thief tries to steal it.

Your VIN number is in a viewing panel on the windscreen so anyone can see what it is. (Well it is on mine anyway)

I’ve officially deleted (possible knee jerk I know but......) the Connected Drive app off of my iPhone and Apple Watch as I’d rather do without it than continually put up with the inconsistent pile of shite state that it’s currently in.

Updates when it feels like.

Shows my location some 10 minutes away from where my car is parked.

States my doors are unlocked when they are.

Says it’s not charging when it is.

And for the estimated range both on the app and in the car...... I think it just makes the numbers up.

I love the car but I’ve honestly had a titfull of the app now.

Just had a look at the app to check charging status and I’m informed that my left rear window is open.
Went outside to check and of course it’s closed. Re-lock the car go inside and check the status. Left rear window is open
