How to Use

Click the button "Check All Versions" below to download and install it. After installation, you will need to log in with your BMW ID credentials, which is the same account used for other BMW services. The app will then guide you through adding your vehicle, typically by entering the last seven characters of your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Once paired, you can explore the various modules. For most remote functions, ensure your vehicle is in an area with cellular network coverage, and note that some commands may take a moment to execute as they are transmitted to the car. Regularly updating the app ensures access to the newest features and improvements.
