BMWNotifier email notification iOS jailbreak tweak

bmxcamel · 12-28-2014, 02:39 PM

I'm currently laid up with a broken femur, so can't get to my car. But I noticed this iOS jailbreak tweak to enable email notifications on iDrive. Can anyone test this out and see if it works?

I posted about this yesterday. It works for me.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1 NBT iDrive F30

Is the Enhanced bluetooth option required for this?

35mmSummicron · 01-01-2015, 01:05 PM

I believe you need Enhanced Bluetooth (6NS).

If you already get TXT messages displayed/read, then this JB tweak will (re)enable new Email messages on iPhone to display on iDrive as it used to.

Hi i have extended bluetooth, i receive text messages normally. But i failed to receive email notifications.

Any specific settings? I have iphone 5 jailbroken and i installed this tweak but still nothing

35mmSummicron · 01-02-2015, 01:35 PM

...unfortunately not

there aren't any settings for BMWNotifier. I simply installed, rebooted my iPhone, and it just worked! Maybe try repairing the bluetooth connection on phone/iDrive?

I did notice that email notifications come up on iDrive even if the phone is unlocked--something TXT msgs don't do. And as before, notifications will only show up on iDrive if they are **new messages that arrive while connected to the car** prior unread txts or emails won't show up.

Hope this helps...

Hey it worked on its own. all i did was reinstalling the tweak, and rstarting the phone. cool.

Thanks a million for bringing that up. A much needed tweak

Installed this and works on mine too with iOS 8.1.2 and 6 plus.

You need to enable mail so that it shows up on the lock screen.

Works great, nice to have this functionality finally. I wonder what it actually does though?

Without getting into specifics, the description from TheBigBoss repo says:

Quote:

In order to get notifications from the iOS device, the user needs to change some iOS notification settings every time when he enters the vehicle.

This tweak does that programatically. The user doesn’t have to take the device out of his pocket to get notifications on the vehicle’s screen.

Not sure what settings specifically it refers to.

35mmSummicron · 01-08-2015, 02:03 AM

Since iOS 7, Apple changed how it handled Bluetooth Message Access Protocol-the standard that sends notifications to iDrive.

Only notifications flagged by iOS as "important" were sent through BTMAP. By default txt messages were "important" but for some reason email notification no longer were. (Note, I'm talking about OS level stuff--not anything users had control of.)

My guess is this tweak forces email notifications to be flagged as "important" (rightfully so!). Either way I'm super glad this is working for us again!

The "settings" the big boss description is referring to, is the awkward work around where if you toggle email notifications to different settings everytime before you connect to the car it would for some reason show up on iDrive for that session. My impression is that this is an iOS bug, that worked in our favour.

- settings

- allow notifications

You may have to play around with the allow notifications page,
Eg allow banner on lock screen etc

Mine worked after this

Can you guys suggest the best jailbreak method? I know there are a couple out there. I've never done it, but this has convinced me to try.

Hey you guys that have jail broken...Can I just take the OTA iOS 8.2 update, or do I need to un-jailbreak first? And has TaiG updated their tool so I can re-jailbreak after the 8.2 update?

Thank you for the feedback!

Unfortunately, I don't plan to release and maintain two versions of the tweak anymore.
Currently I'm working on a new tweak that should be universal and support all vehicles that support iMessage/SMS forwarding (MINI, Benz, Ford ...)

I have a working prototype (unfortunately tested only on BMW NBT) and I hope it will be released soon.

hrvojehk · 12-18-2015, 12:25 AM

Just to let you know, new tweaks are available. In the end I had to release two versions: Lite and Pro. The tweak name is VehicleNotifier.
