X7 Connected Drive
Does anyone know if the X7 has the same features of the connected app that are on the X5? Such as using your phone to lock and unlock the car and using it as your key to drive?

It works (in theory) with my X7. The Android app is very, very buggy, though. It does not currently show the ventilate option, but shows the rest. Sometimes the locking/unlocking works. Sometimes, it does not.

Right now, it is still a bit of a mess but that's not surprising at this early stage. When it comes to remote start, you need an Iphone to start via an App but if you want to unlock the vehicle without the key using a phone-chip, only specific Samsung Android phones can do that.
This can't be the final solution. Nobody carries an Iphone and an Android the same time.. Last edited by 760Lifan; 03-13-2019 at 10:09 PM.. |

It should work in X7 like it does in x5 but hell is it buggy. Terrible terrible app and functionality. Totally unreliable and glitchy. Check out the iOS reviews in the App Store

Thanks. I do have the iPhone app now, but it doesn't do that for my 2018 430i. My other lease is up this coming January and I am considering the X7, so hopefully by then all of bugs will be worked out.
