    Fast forward/reverse of MP3 track

    Same as in the US. Press once to go to the next or previous track, hold down to fast-forward or reverse.

    Estimated Range Prediction / Energy Used Calculation

    No, not really. I was referring to this blog's own Tom Moloughny here and on the Facebook group. Yes, the KLE thing is a big issue. I have no comment on that. The SOC calculation (which was what this thread was about and what I was referencing) is not, when it comes down to it, a big issue...

    iPad on Passenger Seat : Seat Belt Alarm

    Agreed. However, I like to slide my ipad in the net pouch underneath the dash.

    Laundry list

    There is 20gb of media space to store music (in the US). Wish it was more and/or expandable.

    Charging

    Unlock via the iRemote app is not available in the US, presumably due to security concerns.

    Estimated Range Prediction / Energy Used Calculation

    There is a bar that indicates the state of charge. Four bars, really. My commute is 32 miles. It uses a bar and a half. From that I can extrapolate that I have a bit over 20 miles per bar. Or, you can look at your average KwH usage across all of your trips (you can get that by going to the...

    Just took delivery! Two quick questions.

    You can't stop/start charging via the app although you can set it to be finished at a particular time, or to charge during off-peak times. Apparently we'll have more control over this early next year. And no, the remote doesn't notify you, but it will indicate charging is happening, or...

    Wifi and other suggestions

    1. My wife's Audi has a SIM card (that can be removed/changed) to handle phone calls and act as a wifi hotspot. I understand BMW's SIM card is inaccessible for the SOS service, etc. but it should be usable as a regular phone and as a wifi hotspot (for an additional fee if need be). 2. The...

    Stitcher Disappeared

    The BMW Connected Drive apps things is kind of lame, to be honest. For podcasts, I'm using the normal IOS podcast app through bluetooth. It's working quite well and I'm pleased with it. Actually having to plug in my phone for the meager benefits of the apps has proven to be too much effort...

    BMW i3 REX - Taking too long to charge on Maximum Setting

    See this thread - http://www.mybmwi3.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1295 It appears that the current software patch lowers the charge rate to protect KLEs. If you've taken delivery in the past two weeks or so, or you've brought an older one in for service, you likely have it.

    Do you have an i3 on order and awaiting delivery?

    Well, it took a little longer. It was at the VPC for 2 weeks. I pick it up tomorrow.

    Do you have an i3 on order and awaiting delivery?

    Capparis Giga BEV all options with 19" wheels. Ordered May 12, entered production on June 12, completed June 20, at port on June 23, left port July 4 and is headed for Brunswick, GA due on July 18. Should be at dealer 3 to 10 days after that.

    Installing my Clipper Creek Charger

    Hard-wired here as well. We didn't need it to be removable or portable, so it seemed the simplest, safest and cheapest way to go for us. If you plan on taking it with you, needing an outlet for something else, or plan on moving in the near future, then maybe the plug-in would be a better option.

    Installing my Clipper Creek Charger

    Very cool. I just got the same unit myself. (Of course I didn't install it myself because I am incapable of such things.)

    Mapping BMW i3 Owners

    (edit - looks like you have my wife's name (Sarra) in there from the FB group - she beat me to it. But Decatur is technically more accurate than Atlanta) Alex Decatur, GA, USA (Mine's currently waiting for a ship...) Thanks!
