Very nicely done!!! We've ordered a vehicle that's being shipped in from out-of-state, so I think we're on our own on getting everything set up! Your video is perfect for this...and I can probably get it all done when we're doing our first charge :)
Nice and pretty good informative and useful video. I did all these by myself, except being able to set up the second key linking to another profile. Watching this helped me resolve that. So basically the second person needs to have their own myBMW app use the same VIN and set it up for the second key. As a suggestion you could explain that better or show how the second key is setup.
Great point Dealz Guy. Yes completely true that the 2nd profile should have its own MYBMW account with their own username and password, as you mentioned. Will learn from the feedback!
Does the digital key work with android phones? My car should be hear next month hopefully. It was loaded last week on the boat. Mine is a 2022 m440i gran coupe in San remo green.
@@BeamerView perfect. I was wondering if I needed to buy an iPhone here. I’m currently running android 12. I think I should be ok. Do they make a cargo mat for the m440i? I’ll have to go to the accessories page and start looking for things to personalize it soon. Thanks for the help. Have a great day.
My I4 Edrive40 will be in by march! I was hoping interior camera would be included for the i4. Regardless, just as excited and looking through all these BV videos to prepare myself for when the car arrives
Hey Matt, you can use regular bluetooth and still have the ability to answer phone calls or play music through the vehicle. Here in the US Carplay was subscription based for 2019 and 2020 vehicles. All them now come included, im not sure if that's the same on your end. It is a great feature to have and it's something I would purchase.
@@BeamerView hi thanks for that , I’ll have to wait and see when my x1 eventually comes, currently on the uk connected drive site there’s a charge for CarPlay but maybe out of date 🤷🏼♂️, I would like to see how the phone setup looks without CarPlay too and how to set dab radio stations , I’m old school lol 👍🏻
Can 2 people on different phones have different accounts/log-ins using the same VIN (Same car), when setting-up your 'my BMW App' (Like my Wife and me)?
Check out this one - faq.bmw.ee/s/article/Account-BMW-ID-Account-Daten-%C3%A4ndern-iT1g0?language=et If you are trying to change the name on your BMW ID or Profile. You either have to call BMW ASSIST to do it, or a really weird way is to download the app called BMW GUIDE and change it in there. Happy Holidays!
@@_tonsky_ She would have to make her own username and password in her own my BMW app, then go ahead and put in the vin number to add the vehicle into the app. You then go into the BMW ID menu, add BMW ID, and scan the QR code that pops up on the screen. That should create her own profile/ID. During this process just make sure her own key is in the vehicle, and not yours, as the ID saves to the key.
Love your video! We just took delivery of our iX50 and stupidly picked settings from BMW Cloud. Is there a way to go back to that page and use Current Settings? Thanks!
Thanks Jonathon! I do not believe you can switch back but best thing to do is to recreate the bmw Id/profile. There should be a way to do that. I believe if you go back into the BMW ID app it should be in there.
If you are connected to apple carplay or android auto, it will only show your contacts in those, since the contacts get uploaded. Contacts can only be seen in the car system if you are not using those features.
@@marcgreenberg1271 I’m sure you will. BMW has been doing a great job making sure cars are there in time sometimes even earlier. You’re going to love it!
@@BeamerView Right now I’m driving a 2022. X5 45e. I took delivery in November and after driving it awhile I wanted to go full electric. I’m not looking to save the world, certainly not to save money. I checked out the Tesla X and thought the iX was so much better. I ordered it in red with black leather interior. Got the Bowers and Wilkins sound system, 22” wheels and every option available. Just can’t wait for delivery.
@Marc Greenberg you spec'd it out amazingly, well done! Idk if you've heard the bowers and wilkins, but honestly it was the BEST sound system I've heard in any car. There are speakers inside the headrests too so you get the full 4D sound. Amazing happy for ya!
Great info in your video’s… Ty for making these. Not sure i agree on activating the key on my Iphone 13, just in case someone steals the phone … they have access to the car, even worse, they can start and drive off. (Unless I’m mistaken/misinformed) I prefer using the display key… and in case the battery is dead, i can always enter my X5 with the app.
True. They do have to know your phones password. You can also deactivate your phone from a laptop so no one can use it. I’d say BMW has done good research, you can even track ur car with gps or have BMW do it for you :)
Yeah, but in times like these (corona/facemask, so no facial recognition) putting the code in (in public) is something I do more often then i used to do. Bad people are always looking for opportunities… kinda the same with bankcards.
BMW doesn't have a 320i that was made in 2021, I believe the last year for it was about 2018. If you do have a 2021 3 series, it should have iDrive 7, which should work as described in the video.
I am purchasing my 2022 iX xDrive 50 in Sept direct from the dealer, a demo car fully loaded. I also pre ordered an i4 last year but it won't be delivered until some time next year. I can't wait that long as I have an i3 with extended lease. When that i4 arrives, I'm sure it will be snatched up. So I have been watching as many RUclips videos on the iX as I can regarding functionality, charging and operating I Drive 8. You are very good with your videos, however, one very annoying thing you do and probably don't realize how often you do this. You say "You Guys" over and over. I'm not a guy and it is not necessary to refer to your viewers as anything. Just explain your show and features as you've been doing but please be aware not to say "You Guys", it is terrible grammar and very annoying and unnecessary. I look forward to catching up on all your videos though. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback Christina! Will implement that going forward, congrats on your orders and let me know if can make any further videos that can help you!
@@BeamerView Hi BV. Not to beat a dead horse, but I feel Christina is right. I'm a guy but not really bro-culture. Your videos are awesome. You have a captive audience! We're here because you have great content. Probably safe to say you have a wide variety of viewers!

Yes do you have to use usb connect to update bmw app in 2015 328i x drive
Yes!
@@BeamerView thanks
Good video!! My i4 eDrive40 is on a ship heading my way. Look forward to seeing all your tips on this car.
Congrats Doug! Got a few i4 videos coming out soon, including one that shows hidden tricks on it. Don't forget to subscribe! =)

I hear Andriod Auto mentioned frequently, but my 202 X1 2.0 only displays Apple CarPlay. I was told by the dealer, BMWs do not support Android Auto.
Android auto is for newer BMWs they began to introduce this on 2022 vehicles.
Is apple car play included as conectdrive says that it’s £275 unlimited 🤷🏼♂️, can you just use iPhone without CarPlay ?

Can 2 people on different phones have different accounts/log-ins using the same VIN (Same car), when setting-up your 'my BMW App' (Like my Wife and me)?
Yesss, you can. Just make sure you set up the primary first.
This depends on the market. For instance in Japan this does NOT work.
Does this work on a 2014 428i?
Does not, this system is more for 2022 - 2024 vehicles.
Hi, do you know why the phone Wi-Fi disconnects automatically when it connects to BMW’s Apple CarPlay or Android Auto ?
Yes. Wifi cannot work with those. Since both those functions rely on connecting through the wifi system.
Is there anyway I can update the name in my bmw app?
Check out this one - faq.bmw.ee/s/article/Account-BMW-ID-Account-Daten-%C3%A4ndern-iT1g0?language=et
If you are trying to change the name on your BMW ID or Profile. You either have to call BMW ASSIST to do it, or a really weird way is to download the app called BMW GUIDE and change it in there.
Happy Holidays!
One more question. How can I add another primary user like my wife so she can save all her settings if she’s the one driving?
@@BeamerView i downloaded the BMW Guide and I was able to change the name! Thank you!
@@_tonsky_ She would have to make her own username and password in her own my BMW app, then go ahead and put in the vin number to add the vehicle into the app. You then go into the BMW ID menu, add BMW ID, and scan the QR code that pops up on the screen. That should create her own profile/ID. During this process just make sure her own key is in the vehicle, and not yours, as the ID saves to the key.
@@BeamerView i actually did this but she is not considered as primary. How can she be the primary?
Can 2 phones be paired simultaneously?
If your vehicle comes with the “enhanced Bluetooth” option!!

How do I set up my phone Contacts
If you are connected to apple carplay or android auto, it will only show your contacts in those, since the contacts get uploaded.
Contacts can only be seen in the car system if you are not using those features.
Is the app free? Thanks
It's free for the first 4 years from the life of the vehicle.
Wow! Why so difficult?
It’s gotten a bit easier now. BMW makes some changes to their software here and there.
Great video. Waiting for my iX.
Thanks Marc, congrats on the iX.

Setting Up My 2018 320i Xdrive While Watching this video!
Glad to hear! It most likely has idrive 6. But still the same functions are worth doing!
Does not work with my 2021 320i
BMW doesn't have a 320i that was made in 2021, I believe the last year for it was about 2018.
If you do have a 2021 3 series, it should have iDrive 7, which should work as described in the video.
@@BeamerView you are taking about different part of the world
We don't have 320d for example in our market
After 2 yr and half bmw they caught all my connection… they said for order for you to use back is only way is paying WTF💁🏻💁🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
Yes, the connected drive services are 4 years from when the vehicle went into service.
12:39 You might want to blur your address :)
Dealerships address. Come by for a test drive ;)
This ia paid app $120 per year
