BMW Assist / MyInfo
All,

I finally used my MyInfo (Send from Google Maps) over the weekend - all I can say is WOW, what an AMAZING feature!

1. Find location in Google Maps
2. Send
3. Get in the rig
4. Check messages via iDrive
5. Open message and send it to the Nav for directions.

AMAZING!

Was just wondering if anyone tried just "emailing"...like a regular message (not an address?).

Cheers.

Mine still does not seem to work. Did you input your email address in Google maps or did you get a special BMW assist id ?

Is you BMWAssist activated? I believe your BMWAssist id is the email you gave them when you activated it.

correct, you must use email address setup with your BMW Assist.

I used the email address the dealer had setup my BMW Assist with.

Sending address via Google Maps works great on my 09 X5d. VERY nice feature since it is a pain to enter addresses manually....

very jealous... because I hate the '08 idrive that can't get you the right information when you do a search... such as when I tried to find a local toys r us, I couldn't... I used every category and typed in the word "toys" as a store name (partials do work)... none found in that case. I hate that you can't search all categories so it's sure to find it. I don't care if I have to wait an extra few minutes... just find it!

the bmw search is a nifty feature... i know 199 a year is expensive to pay for it but hell you're driving around a 50~80k car (depending on your options...) are you really hurting for the 199 a year?

right, but BMW search is different from MyInfo as MyInfo/Messages/Concierge/BMW Assist are all part of package and are included for 4 years.
