As the 3G network has been ( or being ) phased out, the older ( pre2017) i3' s and many other cars using the same technology are facing frustrating issues ... Apart from 'guessing' if an i3 uses 3G or 4G telematics control unit (TCU) Is there anyway we can check in the iDrive, or Online to...

---------- do you mean.. without the 3G, MyBMW App will still be working? to check status, etc? or not.. thanks

Mine is a Sep 2016 94Ah. purported to be 2017 Model Is there anywhere we can check whether an i3 is on 3G or 4G. Perhaps by entering the Vn number , etc? Also, I use MyBMW only for a few functions, like, to alert me when it is fully charged check vehicle status check car location presumably I...

Oh.. thanks. how long roughly? in your case? I expected it to be immediate? did not realise it can take a while ,, drove around at 50mph for about 10mins or so. at 70%.. REX didnt seem to fire up will try again and hope it works. ( I tend to keep charge barely below 80% hence not had a chance...

My Range Extender Menu has been enabled . But greyed out and unavailable when the state of charge is above 75% However, when the charge falls bellow 75% , and the Range Extender becomes available, it is checked to activate Hold State of Charge BUT the Range Extender Does not Fire up. WHY...

I constantly keep my ( now 37000 miles ) 94Ah ( Rex ) Charged up to 100% using the slow home 10A granny charger as soon as I have used 30-40 miles and the % falls to around 68-70% , it's on charge for around 4-5 hours I am happy with that, having peace of mind full range. So far the battery...

It will be interesting to know if any i3 enthusiast has Upgraded their 94Ah battery to 120Ah in the UK. If so what are the problems, and the final cost of conversion if carried out professionally or by BMW dealer. (assuming that the old good battery can be traded in for recycling?)

Thanks alohart. this sounds good to me. WIFI or phone Data (mine is 94Ah so prob 4G) so when I am out and phone data is off, and when I need to connect to the App, I activate data. great (Y)

Thanks I hope it is WIFI ( when I am at home) cos I really don't want to use my cellphone 3g OR 4g DATA. .. unecessarily

Hi, I wonder if anyone knows what signal does MyBMW App use. GPS or phone Data ? etc Mine is Version 2.3.3 (13527) connected to my i3

I note , they are all noisy ( outside the vehicle) so, it would be perfect if a silencer can work.

walking around with the i3 Rex running, the motorbike engine is certainly loud enough to draw attention and annoy. If one drives past me, I would look around expecting what noisy bike. It would be interesting to know if anyone has researched into, or tried out fitting it with a suitable...

Thanks Smilies this is amazing work. fully protected in every way. just perfection.

where can we buy this box ? thanks

Thanks. This weatherproof security charger box is very cool? is there a photo of the left side? to show the cable entry ?

A very sensible option. it's a great option to 'mentally' allow a healthy 5k in case something goes wrong over a period of time. A better peace of mind 'self warranty' however, for the low mileage user the chance of spending all ( or any significant amount ) of the 5k is slimmer. But for...

Has anyone with sound DIY electrical skills install their own 32A 7Kwh Home Charger? ( perhaps a basic charger) I look at installing a home charger as just another power tool device plugged into the power supply but this requries specialised handling at the supply end. Say, run a 32A+ cable...

============================================================================================================ Thanks MagicCarpet. : 1) keep the fuel below 25% to prevent mtce. do yo have the steps to code the warnings off? this is very useful. resume if needed for the odd long journeys. When it...

next time I view one, i will just use the manual steps above to start the rex up never mind what temperature. I believe, if the socharge is over 75% it rex won't work.? if so it can't be tested

Thank you so much MKH I still want the rex, but in some dilemma. Your rex is quiet. yet , which sounds very encouraging However , the Rex tested was out in the cold, and had 2-3% charge, A mechanic suggested that because it was cold, and with low charge, the moment the engine powered up...
