Hi I'm trying to get the android app to connect to the car (REx) but can't find any instructions anywhere. Can anyone help?

Do you have good signal strength both on the phone and at the vehicle? It's not obvious on the vehicle if it does, but try using your phone near the vehicle - if you phone has trouble with the network, your vehicle probably does as well.

However, this evening I thought that I would try fiddling with some of the iDrive settings to see if I could reset the errant connection between my i3 and the BMW server. I disabled the GPS Tracking setting in the iDrive menu and now the iRemote app on my phone can see the i3 again
I have left the GPS Tracking setting off for now but I assume that if I turn this on again then the iRemote connection will still hopefully keep working as it did before last week. So it seems that, for me in any case, toggling the GPS Tracking setting somehow refreshes the connection between the i3 and the BMW server.
