Outside temperature/weather forcast display?

I've seen a few pictures of the weather forcast displayed on the center console. Anybody know how to get this displayed?

Outside temperature is the only thing I cant get my M4 to do! Real time torque and surround camera view, yes... temperature no!

Do the 16's not have the ability to show outside temp? I have gone through all of the options on the left hand stalk and no temp view.. so odd.

There are two ways to show the weather on iDrive.

You can show it on the assistance window (split screen) by going to the BMW widget weather option.

Or you can show it on the main screen through the Connected drive menu. I prefer the latter as it shows a more comprehensive weather forecast and you can select another location (such as you destination).

How does the weather update? Is there a data allotment? If so, is it an extra charge for the data?

There's a gauge menu in settings to select what you can have displayed.

Hi everyone. Im aware how to navigate the idrive painfully well and know all about all submenus everywhere etc. However I do not have the weather widget / app anywhere. I also have an f15 with pro idrive and I am able to get it (same phone / cable etc). My f82 just does not have it. I went to my dealership about it and said I was missing some module? I didnt quite understand what it was as tbh i thought it was BS. Idrive has been updated to latest version too. Is there anyone on this forum that does not actually have it on their m4/3?

I am trying to figure this out as well. I can use the left stalk to get outside temp displayed under the speed/tachometer but cant figure out on idrive. I have gone through the settings and still no go.

You need the "Connected Drive" 3G option to be able to get weather forecast. If your car does not have the integrated cell phone SIM card, it will not be able to get the data stream.
