Text Messaging Stopped Working
I have been using voice commands "Send text message to <name>" since I've had the car. As of yesterday I noticed when I try it responds with "the vehicle is not equipped with this function." Lies!
I have tried deleting my phone from the car and on my phone and repairing to no avail. I have a Pixel 2 (android). I searched YouTube and the forums but couldn't find anything that particularly matched my situation. Any ideas? |

What MY do you have?
Have you renewed your ConnectedDrive account if it has expired? |

Model year 2018 BMW M550i (Mfg'd 2017). I logged in and registered my car, it's linked to ConnectedDrive. So would I need to purchase a ConnectedDrive Service package to be able to continue dictating texts through my phone?

I know for my MY2020 with iDrive 7 that is true. I imagine it is for your car as well.

Okay this absolutely makes sense. The technology needed for voice recognition probably exists somewhere other than the car. Thanks everyone for the better understanding. Glad I didn't break something or miss an easy button.

Are you trying to do this with an Apple phone via Apple Carplay and Siri? This works perfectly for me.

Android, Pixel 2. Yes it worked perfectly for me as well (impressively good even), but stopped with the end of a ConnectedDrive Service package subscription as noted above.

Ahhh....I just renewed my subscription and went with the Plus version. For me, it gets me push updates for weather, etc. and ability to use the MyBMW app.
