Garage List
I just bought my 2018 M540i xdrive a few weeks ago. I installed the BMW Remote app (which I traded for the BMW Connected Drive app when prrompted). I enabled 3d view in the iDrive settings. I see the default view (seems to be at BMW hq) but it won’t refresh the view when I prompt it to do so. Is anyone else having this isssue? I did log out of the app and logged back in but it didn’t prompt me to accept any new terms of use/privacy as mentioned by Khatopito. Thanks in advance and feel free to suggest anything.

I have the same issue for my m550i 2018. I was able to enable the 3d Remote View setting in the IDrive Privacy setting and my connected app does the first step successfully: Connecting to secure server but when trying to activate the cameras, it gives me the following error: Impossible to connect to data network. Help please!

From Montreal Canada...

It's an old post but in case you still have the car, yes we do have WiFi in Canada. Even my salesman told me it doesn't work but it does. It's with AT&T Mobility Canada and we have 3 months and 3gb of data for free. After that you can choose a montly plan.
Service has good coverage, I've used it mostly for my radar detector.

To activate, turn on the wifi in idrive, connect your device and open up the web browser. From there is the same deal as registration for any other WiFi network.
If I remember correctly, after connecting new WiFi device to the car you have to add it on to the known devices list (separately from Bluetooth known devices) and it's good to go.

for anyone who may need last version of BMW connected Android app (North America Version):

https://apktada.com/app/de.bmw.connected.na

It is working well in Canada with Remote 3D. Remote Start is not available for Android phones yet.

I purchased a BMW 2019 X5 in the US. It was a Canadian car. I cannot get the connected drive to work with the US version. I would like to try to get the Canadian version of connected Drive. Does anyone know where I can get the connected drive version for the Canadian Market?

A quick fix I guess would be the Canadian App store, you could probably create one with a Canadian address.

Thanks for the reply. I think your idea of getting the Canadian Play Store app for BMW connected would work. However if I change my Play Store around on my Android phone I cannot change it back for one year. Look
"You can only change your Play country once per year. So if you change your country, you won’t be able to change it back for one year" that don't make sense. I need to find another way to download the APK of the Canadian connecteddrive app.
