BMW Connected Drive on E89 (UK people)

Unlocking from the app worked fine on my 2009 car back when I had a BMW teleservices subscription.

In fact it also had the contact sharing and web interface on the iDrive.

The BN2000 Combox was installed in all Z4s after 2010 that had the bluetooth streaming option but that is nothing to do with remote services.

When they discontinued 2G/3G support maybe that broke that particular piece of string..it definitely doesn’t wire on my 2011 nor did it on my 2012 …
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
A very modified Atacama Yellow 35is :thumbsup:

OK i called BMW connected drive and they said the error was because the car was old i couldnt add it to me car list and that they had to do it for me. That does not bode well for any of the services to work. :rofl:
