    BMW Connected drive 3G to 4G?

    I have never received any notification from BMW. The 3G comment admittedly doesn't apply. Sorry for that. But I think we should ALL have been notified of the upcoming changes, the new MyBMW and the expiry of the 2G-3G situation. In my case not. Your second comment is the same as happened to...

    BMW Connected drive 3G to 4G?

    Interesting ENate, that you had to try it multiple times and that you had Firefox "issues". I think once the credentials are validated that the app is no longer dependent upon the browser. But then I really am naïve regarding apps and such. But, app developer aside, BMW are surely culpable...

    BMW Connected drive 3G to 4G?

    Invalid Token - yes. But also the kickback message changed on later attempts, who knows why, to "invalid client.....unknown client ..... > and some other gibberish" My advice is, if you are having login problems, try the Firefox process. Easy and can't hurt. But first make sure your car is...

    BMW Connected drive 3G to 4G?

    Episode 16 or so of MyBMW app failure. Finally solved thanks to the help of the local Beemer #1 genius guy. He persevered in getting a useful response from up the line somewhere. So here, verbatim , are the key points - quote " Delete ALL old BMW Connected or MINI Connected App Install...

    BMW Connected drive 3G to 4G?

    You triggered a thought. Though unlikely, perhaps it's my Android phone. So, using phone Chrome browser, I logged onto the MyBMW.com website successfully using the same credentials. No problem so it ain't the phone.

    BMW Connected drive 3G to 4G?

    All good suggestions thanks, but - Done all that , several times, in fact last time about 30 minutes ago. I can go onto MyBMW.com, login with the same credentials as the app (confirmed username and pass). From there I can see that my subscription is active. I've just sent an email to the...

    BMW Connected drive 3G to 4G?

    Sorry, slow responding because of time spent wiping egg from my face. It appears my i3 (2017 model) does indeed have 4G telemetrics (good news) despite the ConnDrive folk email to the contrary. However, the question of why the cursed MyBMW Android app won't work remains unanswered. It's...

    BMW Connected drive 3G to 4G?

    FYI > BMW 2017 i3 build date is 11/16 I came into this discussion knowing nearly nothing about 2G/3G/etc technology. I'm very phone averse. So when I had the conn-drive fail I pinged BMW customer service. I got an email from them stating I was driving a 2G vehicle ( thus SOL ). Perhaps...

    BMW Connected drive 3G to 4G?

    My take is that, at least in my case, BMW is culpable in this debacle. Here are my specifics and evidence supporting my claim. I purchased a low mileage used 2017 i3 from a BMW dealer in California. I am currently on a connected drive subscription expiring in January 2022, It stopped...
