Retro of ConnectedDrive apps?

Evil_ss · 02-02-2015, 01:41 PM

Hi All,
Is it possible to retrofit the connected drive services? I would love to access real time traffic and some of the other features available.

Yes no Maybe.

I am getting an answer to this question on Friday.

I would love to know. I heard that it had to be installed from factory, but if the car can contact the dealership when it needs a service, surely it connect to the Internet.

After a visit to my dealership, it mysteriously had full internet capabilities!!!

It can be coded yes. In the earlier F30s, if you didn't order BMW Apps, you didn't get the combox. That's standard now, so it's just enabling a code. This can be done legit by a dealer, or with cable retro'd.

My deealer must have enabled it for me, as it didn't have it two days ago. Very happy happy I am!

yeah when my car goes in for its first service, I'm going to give them a list of codes to put in for me

hahaha If they don't do it, I have a cable, and will do it myself. I'm not busting for it.

What other codes are you looking at? I would love some ideas

Well there are plenty they won't do. I'm pretty much going to try get them to retro Apps, Internet, Office (dunno why mine's not coded to start with).

Then other things I'll do will be like unlocking video from USB, DVD in motion etc.
