Apologies if this has been covered on the forum. I found no prior mention of this particular solution.
The BMW i Remote - North America iOS app does not provide remote unlocking functionality. I tested to see whether the BMW Connected North America iOS app could unlock the doors of our 2016 REx.
The short answer: yes.
But the actual accomplishing of this was surprisingly tricky, requiring the ORIGINAL password I provided when signing the BMW Assist Subscriber Agreement Contract, even though I had replaced that password three times at the BMW Connected website.
Because this became an elaborate explanation, I've posted it as a web page:
