If still under CPO, and have a currently valid Connected Drive account, I would look into it.

I asked my dealer to disconnect the service, I had to sign a waiver and that was that.

if your wondering if I'm wearing a tin foil hat (maybe I am) I just feel better knowing it's disconnected

I also love the idea of my dashboard and features changing during an overnight download and discovering unexpected changes when I get up and leave...

I'm gonna reach to my dealership and keep you guys posted

Ok guys, so I just got off the phone with BMW North America and was told that only selected models will be updated with the new 4G compbox but we will now know which ones until they email us. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my car would be one of them. In the meantime, they activated my services for free and they are working just fine. I would recommend that you guys call and get yours activated if possible and see what other details they might give you. 800-831-1117. Good luck![IMG]undefined[/IMG]

Did they also make you Initials the refusal all the crapy extra service (very lucrative) they are pushing?

ya, the app can be turned off but not the Assist function, had to sign paperwork for that, I asked how many get this disconnect, 1% or so every year but some like you are animate about its removal/disconnection, so bmw allows the option.

BMW Assist is a system Similar to GM's OnStar BMW Assist uses GPS to detect vehicle location and cellular networks to transmit the data, using the vehicle's antenna to transmit.

no thanks, also my web browser is set on incognito mode (google chrome)

I just rather my details not be public or recorded

If being cellular tracked is you concern here... Then don't take your phone with you, or switch it off. Private mode browsing will just hinder ad tracking and single sing on, the history is recorded through connection request anyway, so server side from DNS (it'd be weird if you use Google DNS and put chrome in "incognito") your ISP to where to communication goes. ..

but we are drifting off topics here I think the emergency assist in cars is still worth it as a life saving system.

@thaalrasha
Ya we are going to the abyss...

I'm just saying there is an option NOT to accept the service, it's automatically on the car when you pick it up, it's optional IF you don't feel comfortable knowing your car pings info on location/travel


That's what these forums are for, members sharing info and experiences

Funny when I loged in the BMW Connected today, they had a survey asking me if I would tell them what I like about the Apps...

I answered "Who give a Rat Ass what I think since you are replacing it"

[Ikester19]

Prefer the Connected Drive app, the layout is much nicer and above all I haven't found any additional functionality in the My BMW app. Hopefully more improvements to come.

Suddenly, today the NEW 'My BMW App' stopped working for me. It was working properly before. I tried to add my car VIN and it says its already registered but it does not show up on the app- location, car data, etc. I tried logging in and out and deleting app and re-installing- no luck. Anyone else have this problem and know any fixes? Thanks
