I don't recall seeing this option (Stop Ventilation) before the backup camera recall which was a full iStep update to EVO version S. Does anyone know how to enable/re-enable this feature? Not really sure what is does unless it's to stop ventilation in the vehicle when you're away. I don't really see how different it is then the ventilation timer that you can set.

There was a recent update to the app. Maybe this feature was added for future cars?
As it looks like it would allow you to stop the ventilation process remotely. On my 530e I can start and stop cooling from the app and I have a "Cooling" and "Stop Cooling" under enabled features. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, I but believe features don't appear in the app unless your vehicle is capable of it. |

I can't say since I'm a fairly new member, but the app has been a bit wobbly as of late. For instance, my MY2020 530e w/ Surround View Cameras doesn't show the Remote 3D View option

I've never had a need to use the ventilation feature of connected drive so haven't tried it. |

I was under the impression that all that is needed is the Parking Assistance Package with the Surround View Cameras. I have that package. When I reached out to the geniuses on the phone and in dealership that is all I am supposed to have for it. Neither could tell me why I am not seeing it though.

I have no idea why it doesn't work, but I'll invest more time in making BMW figure it out by time I'm due for my next service or have a bit more time. The other thing that I think is an issue in my car, but haven't taken it in yet to get sorted out is the low beam icon in the dash. I have no light that shows in the dash to show that low beams are on. Only Standing Lamps, High Beams, and Auto High Beam icons show. |

Also, make sure you enable remote access in the car in idrive, if you haven't already. |

Everything is working for me except ventilation and since I don't use it I guess I never bothered to find out why, probably should the next time I'm at dealer...

I have the 530e and use the "climatize" function a lot in the summer. I live in Scottsdale AZ and the summer temperatures can get very hot. I am also an avid (albeit not very good) golfer. So in the summer I tee off early and after finishing the 17th hole I take out my phone, use the app to "climiatize now" and the AC turns on. By the time I finish the last hole, get my clubs cleaned and walk to the car, it is very comfortable.
I have, however, never tried to turn it off once it is on. I think there is a 20 minute timer on the climatize function anyway. |
