BMW Remote v3.1.2

davjo68 · 02-05-2015, 10:50 AM

BMW released an update to their BMW Remote iOS app today that restores online search for MY 2013 and earlier vehicles. I tried it this morning and the search functionality has been restored.

I just saw this too. It FINALLY works properly! You can search and display either the map or the list of matches. Sweet!

It also looks like you can unlock the app using Touch ID, not sure if the previous version did that since I never checked.

TouchID support was added in the previous version, 3.1.

It's STILL garbage for me - at first it couldn't locate the vehicle but then did. Tried to flash the lights twice but it fails to send. I gave up on this POS app awhile ago but when seeing this posted, decided to give it another try.

Definition of insanity - doing the same thing repeatedly expecting different results.

Is your car in a garage or something? FWIW I've used it a few times and have never had an issue.

The only useful thing the BMW Remote app does is allow you to send addresses. At least for me. I'm glad to see the functionality is no longer broken. HOWEVER...

Why can't BMW set up the Remote app as a transit app, so that from Apple Maps, you could push your search/address to the app and send it to the car? It's such a clumsy system.

I've taken the time to reverse engineer the OAuth and JSON connections back and forth from the phone to their server. It's actually a fairly simple system. I unfortunately lack the programming skills yet to build my own iOS implementation.

I'd be willing to share the information with someone that could possibly use it.

I noticed that I can also now activate parked car/auxiliary ventilation on my 2014 335 with the Remote app! Hopefully BMW won't remove this feature before summer rolls around.
