BMW updated the Remote App, Now includes A/C!

smithf80 · 10-02-2015, 08:36 AM

I haven't actually tried the new app yet, however the description of the update says that it includes A/C controls. What I think this actually means is that you can turn on the fans but not actually the air-conditioning obviously because the car would need to be on for that, either way still a step forward.

Yeah... looks like a new option to turn on the ventilation now as opposed to the old version where you set a timer for it to start.

I also noticed on iOS there is an option to use Apple maps rather than Google maps.

There's an update to MyBMW? I just checked and do not see one for Android. I havent been able to get the app to work on my Android for months. It keeps saying I do not have internet connection. I cannot believe how lame this app is.

Remote Ventilation (just fans) has been there for the iOS version for a while. I think what's new is A/C for electric/Hybrid vehicles.

Remote Ventilation used to be there, but then they removed it, then i think they added it back to the cars that have NBT

do you have to pay for the remote app/connect drive?

The apps are free and the Connected Drive/Assist features are free for the first three years on a new BMW.

Just glad I can finally get back into the app!
