Fastest way is to use a VIN decoder. Try www.mdecoder.com
Key in last 7 letters/digits of your VIN and it will give you the actual day of production. |

Normally I use my Pixel 3 but for grins I fired the app up on my work phone which is a iPhone X. Unlike the Android app it did give me the message that the mirrors would unfold (checked the box not to show that again) and then complete failure. However, it stated you can only attempt a 3D view once every 2 hours. Seriously? Obviously I had exceeded that with my initial Android app failures but why would the Android app claim "a function is blocking the request" or "not data connection"? Appears that BMW is having issues and your mileage may vary depending on iOS or Android. |

And even if it was really really hard, at USD 120K and AUD 290K, it just has to work perfectly every time.

I was told by BMW there is a brand new update available but it must be done at the dealership. I did inquire about a campaign # but the rep did not have access to it.

Was at the dealership today, service did an update (not the in car version) for Connect which was to correct the 3D view issue...it did not. Then they had the genius guy come by, he said for half of the customers it works and the other half it doesn't and it's been that way for quite sometime, he also said BMW has done nothing about it. Lovely...

Tried mine the other day and, in a weird way, the guy was right. It worked half the time. And it didn't work half the time. I'm serious.

My M850i has a Prod. Date of 2019-06-07 (from decoding the VIN) Has the 3D feature and mostly worked. Lately it gets stuck in the Uploading pictures (with a Data connection error). It is a nice gimmick, but I have not found a real benefit.

I used it outside of gimmick just once: I couldn't remember which floor of a multi story car park I parked on, so I used the 3D remote imaging to look around for the support beams and the floor number. It worked like a charm.

Mine's also a 6/19 production, has never worked from day one continually giving me the same message after all steps were completed and verified and after both in-car and workshop updates. Great concept, yet horrific implementation and follow through on BMW's part...

That's where mine has been getting stuck about half the time. It is a nice gimmick, though the only time I've used it is when I have to keep an eye on my car while it's in the BMW service bay to determine to what extent they are lying when they tell me that "we are working on your car right this minute."

I will report back once the software is updated to the latest rev. during 1200 mile service.
We'll see how this goes. Over the last few days, all remote services failed to work from the app. No unlock or remote start... Genius asked me to reset the head unit after which the services started working again... FWIW. it may be worth a reset. Hold the Radio volume/mute button for at least 70 seconds (apparently important, no matter what happens on the screen). Then select apps from the home screen. While on the app screen, press the options button below the iDrive controller. There is an Update Apps option on the pop-up screen. If grayed out wait a few minutes and then try again. Press update. When done, exit & lock the car. Hopefully the camera works then. You should see the mirrors unfold; hopefully take the pics and fold again... |
