So, no more ConnectedDrive. I’m going to miss the ability to send addresses to the car from my phone. Won’t miss the real-time traffic too much, or the slow/balky remote app locking, although they were occasionally useful. I guess this also means that the emergency call function will no longer work either.
Reading threads in the F30 forums, there apparently is no way to upgrade the cell modem in the car to a 4G system. And a complete upgrade to a later iDrive system seems difficult and expensive, and it’s unclear how functional even that would be.
So, anyone have any good options or thoughts on this? What are other people doing? Just living with the functionality loss? Trading the car for something newer?
How hard is a full iDrive and telematics udpate? How do you register the ‘donor’ system, which no longer matches your car VIN, with ConnectedDrive?
š I know, the car still runs fine without this stuff, but once you get used to the tech, it’s hard to go without.
