BMW Connected app

Went into the app for the first time in a few weeks and I see that it now shows me the fuel level and range remaining. It also says that Check Door Lock Status in enabled. How do you do that?

Do you mean "how do you check if door is locked or unlocked" or do you mean "how do you enable the feature that allows the app to check the status" ?

just below the image of your car you would see a small padlock sign on the left and remote on the right.

If you click on the padlock sign it will take you to remote services.

If you have not purchased remote service, this might not be available. I am not sure though. You could always buy it for £60.00 or so from idrive or your BMW connected internet site

There's no padlock on mine. Probably because I didn't pay the €80 for remote services. But the funny thing is that it says door lock check is enabled.

I can get it to work on my wife's iPhone but not on my Android. When I spoke to the dealership he told me that I need to buy remote services for it to work. But on the iPhone it gives me fuel level, location etc. On the Android it doesn't register anything. Is there anything you are doing different to connect to Android.

Your iphone display is the same as mine. It says door lock check is enabled but there's no sign of it.

I had a similar issue with mine. It barely showed anything. I logged out of the app, and then went to the car. In the Idrive system I unchecked the vehicle location checkbox and then got out and locked the car. Re-entered the car, started it and rechecked the checkbox again. Logged back in to the app and about an hour later I had full functionality including up to date service statuses. It might be a fluke, but it could be worth a try?

Is the latest BMW Connected Android app for USA only? I live in Canada and I can only install the "BMW Connected Classic" which doesn't have the 3D view. I sideloaded the apk for the new BMW Connected app but it doesn't let me log in.

Not mine. Just updated and the app certainly got better, but no 3d view.
