Automatic window stopped working

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I have a 2021 540i xDrive. I set up an activation point for my automatic window and it worked flawlessly for a few weeks. But this week, it stopped working. My activation point isn't even listed anymore and when I try to set a new activation point, it won't save it. Anyone else having this issue?

What is an activation point? By automatic windows, do you mean the one touch up/down?

There's an ap in iDrive that will automatically lower your window when you hit an activation point you've pre-set. For me, it's my office garage. The activation point was set and working but no longer works and t will no longer let me save an activation point. It was a cool feature when it worked.

I don’t have an LCI, but I’d try Updating Apps and Services then rebooting iDrive and see if it sorts itself out. The apps can be a bit buggy.

Thank you, very cool, kind of like when my garage door opens when I pull into my street (via Alexa). Something to look forward to on my next car.
