I just checked in the apple app store and found the new app. I installed it, logged in and it found my car right away. Looking forward to the android version...

The issue you're identifying is that BMW does little to support Android and provides much less functionality. Android users are second class citizens in BMW's world and they mislead customers in not making it clear before purchase. |

I tried asking in an earlier thread. Newby question...
Where do I find the “6 digit passcode” that’s sent to the vehicle. Does it just appear on the I drive? Do I retrieve it from somewhere? |

Interesting.
I don’t have “Messages” anywhere under “Connected Drive”. Under Connected there is BMW Assist: Roadside Assistance/Customer Relations/Your Service Centre. There’s a 1-800 # listed for Roadside, nothing for CR and the same 1-800 for Service. When I connect my iPhone by USB and open the new Connected App, it works, there’s icons for BMW Connected, BMW Calendar and more apps like Spotify, etc. It asks me on the app to enter the 6-digit code from the vehicle. If Messages was ever there it’s gone now. I renewed my Connected Drive Professional Subscription for 3 years last March. I noticed the BMW Assist button is no longer working either. Any help, comments, advice much appreciated. |

You must be logged in. Press options when in connected drive to get to the login option.
I hope this helps, I am no expert, my car is so messed up, I cannot even login. I got to my car today and it was logged out and I cannot log in with my connected drive account. So tired of all this... |

No idea where my messages app went. It was there originally and seems to have dropped off last year. |

The instructions I gave above is to log your car into your connected drive account, not your phone.
Until you are logged in, you will not see messages. |

Go to the connected drive screen in iDrive then press the option button next to the iDrive controller.
You will then get to a screen with a login selection. Then enter your connected drive userid and password. |
