Used TCU will not work. Only new, never registered TCUs will work, and only dealerships have access to ISTA+.

I wonder if the BMW Dealer has to do anything 'special' in registering the modem with BMW, other than programming it to the car with ISTA+?? Does ISTA programming pass on/register the new phone/ID number to the BMW Connected Drive server? Or is there some extra registration step that must be done b...

So, after witnessing a rather bizarre collision where the vehicle in front of me was struck even though they initially avoided the incoming vehicle I decided it is high time I stopped procrastinating and install a dash cam. I have decided on a Blackvue 2ch with power magic ultra battery. Through my ...

Illustrating that even though I'm now on a 4G TCU it's really not AT&T that is preventing me from getting full service, it's BMW.

On February 1st, I logged into ConnectedDrive portal. Complimentary package marked as " Expired ". No items to renew. Sent climatize command to car via app. Car starts climatizing. Sent departure time update to car via app. Car updates departure time. Sent destination message to car via ap...

OP here catching up on the discussions in this thread as February 1 looms. I must admit I'm more on the i3 Reddit than here. I have been trying to renew ConnectedDrive services ahead of time but looks like the active "complimentary" package that will expire end of January seems to lock out...

Did you use this formula regularly in your logging, and if so, how consistently did it come out below 70%? However, when the GOM at 100% says 53 miles, I'm not particularly inclined to set out on a 60 mile trip... Whereas I do a kappa max reading almost daily at 100% charge except if I'm running la...

it still more than I want to spend on a 7 year old i3 with a significantly degraded battery pack. If you have been on the i3 subreddit there is an effort by a user "AgentMi" and company to bring 3rd party upgrade packs in a few years that I'm rooting for. I don't plan on getting rid of th...

This is the last line of my log: 44mi÷3.8mi/kWh÷(1.0-0.03)÷18.1KWh=.6595 or 65.95% Close to the 70% I know but at that point I couldn't take the car to go anywhere without having to go limping home on ECO Pro+ like a turtle with the AC off in the summer or stop at a L2 charger again with the AC off ...

Those of us that own an i3 with a 3G Telematics module (TCU) have been told by BMW that we're out of luck and there is no "technology upgrade" available to keep ConnectedDrive services running past Feb 2022. I received the email from ConnectedDrive services stating as much and I'd get free...
