Is there a way to enable the "Locate Your Vehicle" feature under vehicle info? I have seen on other threads on the net that vehicles can be located more than 1.5km.

Do you have the GPS checkbox ticked in your car ? Its under the iDrive settings.

Thanks mate, chose the GPS option but also had to update the profile using a USB cable to my iphone and now I am able to retrieve vehicle location and other info like mileage and fuel range, etc.

How did you run the Update? I cant view things like mileage and fuel range, etc. but can view location. :fencelook:

Do you have the extended display, pro Nav ?

I can view more info on the pro than the business nav.

Connect your phone to the usb port in your car and then choose add another vehicle (Yes your current vehicle is listed but just carry on anyways). Choose the option to connect via usb and accept the terms and conditions - it will process and eventually display the error stating the vehicle is already added - cancel and go back to your usual profile - you will now see Fuel level, Total KM range, Current Mileage

Where do you have to select “add vehicle” ?

whilst on the BMW Connected app - look on the top right of the screen (should list your vehicle registration with an arrow pointing to the right) - tap that. Choose the + sign to add a vehicle and you will see the option enter VIN or connect toyour vehicle via USB.

How do you refresh the fuel level?

It shows it’s still enabled but I don’t have a refresh option. That I can see anyway.

 

[ChrisPy]

[r0ckf1re]
