Weather Widget Just Disappeared
I had the weather widget on my home page but today it is gone. I can still see it in the Apps that are available but it won't let me add it to my home screen. All this technology is wonderful, when it works. When it doesn't it is aggravating.
I'm also having issues with the ConnectedApp on my phone. Won't let me add my car. I've tried starting all over with a new profile but no success. Called BMW Genius and they are researching it. Told me it might take 10 days. That is poor service IMHO.

OK, I'll give it a shot. On a related note, do the weather and news apps use a cellular network or a satellite signal? Thanks.

yes they do it neither load reboot iDrive. I have to do this at least once a day thanks to horrible AT&T signal out here (they use AT&T in car)

Aha, that may be the issue. Vehicle is in the garage and AT&T signal is weak.

It's back. I think the loss of the cell signal was the cause. Rebooted iDrive and it returned.

My weather widget has been missing in action for a few days now.
Are others having the same problem?

Resetting iDrive solves the problem, have to do it every few weeks...

I know that has worked for many, but during previous droughts I was one of many that was hit with an national outage. However, perhaps this episode is different.
