Connected Drive

I just stumbled by fluke and discovered that I have connected drive although I didn't order the $500 option. How is that possible? Or is it standard? Package ZTO.

BMW assist is standard but connect with real time traffic/apps is an option

if you have that then, then you have the option

how's the coding going? i just did my 2000km break in service and i'm looking at buying that cable and digging into how to do coding

I have the real traffic thingy and everything else and I didn't pay for it. I did my 1800km service, they accepted to do it before I floored it few times

Not sure if you asked me before about coding, (oh you did, and I am getting Alzheimer's), but now I do it w eyes closed, and that's probably when I'll screw up if you need help, shoot me a pm. You really need to follow shawn's instructions and take it easy. Code one module at a time and check the corresponding functionality, sometimes the parameter you change isn't what you want...

I'll reply to your other thread with an update to what I did.

Well after I posted I saw a thread where Shawn mentioned about services, and I don't have that entry in idrive. So it seems I have parts of it :

I wonder why mine does't do anything when I select it? Maybe Calgary isn't a big enough city for them to have this feature in.

No. But to use some apps, like tunein radio ... You need to have the phone unlocked and the connected app started obviously.

My understanding (I'm not a dealer and BMW options can be very confusing) is you need ZTO for that. ZTO includes:

6AK BMW Online
6AM Advanced Real Time Traffic Information
6AN Concierge Services
6AP Remote Services
6AR Internet
7S9 BMW ConnectedDrive Services Package

Not sure why you have it if not ordered but might as well enjoy. Would be interesting to see if one of those VIN decoder sites lists these options as included in your car.

Tx for the suggestion, I ran my VIN at http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html and this is what it gave, I didn't order ZTO, double checked my order.

S6AKA ConnectedDrive Services ConnectedDrive Services
S6AMA Real-Time Traffic Information Real Time Traffic Information
S6ANA Concierge Services Concierge service
S6APA Remote Services Remote Services
P7S9A Connected Drive Services Paket

So then some of us got a freebie? I can't believe that ! However there's a missing entry in my idrive, called services. Don't know what it is for.
