actually i just picked up my 12 x5 50i... the app was installed for the new vehicle...

the only real nice feature of this app is the ability to track the vehicle if stolen...

Can you login to Canadian equivalent of this site?

If not try calling the number in post #7 and they will help you out.

You can't use the app to track if it's stolen. If it is more than .6 miles away it tells you it can't give you the position for privacy reasons.

the app actually sucks... not really useful at all....

you have to be within .6 miles to unlock/lock... and when you lock it does not arm the alarm... useless..

you can also track your vehicle but if it's stolen and driven or towed for more than a few blocks it won't let you track it... useless again...

my app for 2012 X5 didn't offer a flash headlights feature... useless again

and no remote horn... need i say it again?

so what do you use this app for?

to find your car in a large parking lot? don't you have the keyfob with panic button, lock/unlock, open trunk, etc for that?

totally useless in my opinion.... but something to brag about to those who have nothing...

btw... did you guys notice Chevy has a similar iphone app... that actually does everything above regardless of distance??

great job BMW... :stickpoke

With the Chevy u can turn ur car in remotely as well.

I tried using this stupid app and it takes about 10 minutes for my vehicle to unlock the doors after I initiate it from my phone.. And the app says vehicle status unavailable and when it shows my phone's location, it shows me walking through the neighbors yard, crossing the street, but I haven't moved from my bed lol
