Per the subject, has anyone got this working?



Irritatingly, it seems to be compatible with my wife's daily driver... which is literally and mathematically half my car in so many respects... WTF!

I think it is not related to M8s in general
Maybe u have to enable something on ur m8 or
it may be only compatible with 1 car per profile

Watch the video I posted. I looked for that menu but it doesn't exist and there's no upgrade available. That seems pretty conclusive to me... but I was hoping to be proven wrong.

I already disabled my wife's car (since she couldn't care less)—no change. In addition, her car was never listed as 'Not Supported'.

I didn't, apologies. I'm using my phone and it crops the shit out of things. I've seen it now. Thx.

What OS version is your M8 running?

It is mentioned in the video

Hmmm. Interesting.

I might give up the coding and try that.

My house is so absurdly Alexified, this would be a huge deal for me.

Thanks for the assist!
