If you have iDrive 7 you can add a personal avatar that pops up in your profile page and it allows you to do OTA upgrades via your smartphone using home WiFi which is much quicker & reliable than using the cars inbuilt SIM card 3/4 G connection I suspect we are getting an OTA upgrade soon as BMW made a big announcement about a worldwide OTA recently in the motoring press

I’ve never received emails from BMW Australia, even though I’ve owned BMWs for more than 25 years.
I found out about the My BMW App from a completely different source. I downloaded it yesterday and it seems ok, but not a giant leap forward and I do not see much difference to Connected. The only welcome difference I could see was a line regarding OTA Updates, but the App said that none were currently available for my car. This is disappointing as I still do not have a rev counter when in Sport Mode and RTTI has never worked since the last OTA in November (version 07/2020.54). Even with the new App, I cannot lock or unlock the car......even though the car is only a few meters away below me in the garage. Perhaps it will work once I get the car out into the open air with better SIM/WiFi access.

I have BimmerCode TestFlight but I’m not sure if I will be able to access all these codes without E-Sys. We’ll see.....

I use E-Sys and all these FDL codes are in the Kombi ECU which Bimmercode can access in expert mode. Should be a piece cake just remember to do a backup before you modify

If your car was manufactured before January 2020 there is a software bug in the Telematics Unit that prevents remote services working for extended period. There is a January 2020 Service Bulletin issued for a software module upgrade . Since I had my M340i don't last July, remote services from Connected Drive or MyBMW have always worked 100%. I'm surprised you aren't getting emails; when you map or delete your car with either of the Apps you will get emails. And when you enable remote services to your car from the App you will get email confirmation. I've had BMWs for 22 years and ever since Connected Drive was available on my 2014 4 Series and 2 subsequent cars, I have received regular BMW emails. I'm in NZ but you should still be seeing emails; Our Connected Drive support number goes to Melbourne. There is an easy fIx for RTTI not working after software upgrade. My RTTI thread from January on this forum gives provides info on how to fix it. |

Life is all about timing! Perhaps you can help me...... I can’t find Remote 3D on the My BMW App. Can you give me some pointers? I’ve found your fix for RTTI on the forum and will give it a go tomorrow. Thanks for this. BTW, my car was built mid January 2020.

It means "Take all" in the local Shona language. The name was used as the local slang word for Salisbury now known as Harare where I was born and raised.
The name originated from the Southern, Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland Federation days that was formed in the 1930's? and dissolved in the 1960's when Zambia (N Rhodesia) and Malawi (Nyasaland) and later Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) gained independence from Britain. In the federation days, Salisbury the capital of Southern Rhodesia used to receive the bulk of overseas colonial funding from London much to the disgust of the local authorities in Blantyre & Lusaka hence the origin of the name. More recently the name has been adopted by the current ZANU PF regime "as a cry of victory"

Thanks for the RTTI fix......worked a treat. As an added bonus, while I was faffing with the car, I was notified on the My BMW App of a software upgrade to 11/2020.50. This downloaded to my iPhone in about 3 minutes. The car is now preparing for installation. However, it’s taking a while and might be related to the charge of the battery (currently only 62%). So, I’ve put the battery on charge and will see how things pan out. But, on the whole, looking good. Hopefully, with this new installation, my tacho will return when in Sports Mode. Otherwise, I will give the coding option a look. Having said that, the car is due for service on Friday, so I might just let the BMW techs have a look.

The old connected app can access my calendar and easily allow me to send my next destination address to the car navigation.
That feature seems to be missing in the new my BMW app. Or can someone point me where to find it? |

I can send destinations from the App to my car. I’m sorry, not sure why you’re seeing No Connection. It looks like you have a solid 4G connection in your post. In theory, it should have worked. I assume you’ve tried this more than once with the same result?

Type in your address in the top bar where you see the magnifier symbol. Hit return and you will be asked if you want to send the destination to your car.

IMO they have a long way to go before the new App is equal or better in features. At this stage the only extra feature is you can post a personalised Avatar which only shows if you have iDrive 7
