Hi ! I have a BMW 116D 2016 with Entrynav NBT Evo id4 Headunit (no navigation) and can show album cover when playing Spotify /tidal via USB from IPhone, But the album art does not show via Bluetooth?! Is that something that SHOULD work and can be fixed somehow?

[@LegoWormNoah101]

With a 2016 BMW X3, I was curious about setting the radio to tune into custom frequencies, specifically NOAA Weather Radio. I want to know if that's even possible, if you could add the option in the source menu, and if you could program a dashboard alarm when a weather alert is received

[@bimmer-tech]

Don't really think that's possible

[@lmh-mv3ec]

Hi, thanks for the tips. Do you have any vid info on the startup logo not showing?

[@bimmer-tech]

Hello, no we don't unfortunately.

[@lmh-mv3ec]

@@bimmer-tech Thanks for the vid and appreciate yr reply, may i also enquire, is bimmercode able to code the passenger seat to be shifted when the door is closed on a F32 coupe??

[@bimmer-tech]

We don't cooperate with bimmercode, so unfortunately can't help you out with that.

[@rashrash4717]

Good!

Can you program or code a 530e to not shut off the car automatically when getting out?

[@bimmer-tech]

Hi, unfortunately we don't offer such coding option.

How do you do a reset on the idrive system which is the same system in your video. I have a 2019 X1 2.8xi

[@bimmer-tech]

Your car should be in standby state, then press and hold the volume button for about 30 seconds. After that, press the volume button once to turn the system back on.

CAN I ADD THE DVD PLAYER OPTION ON MY IDRIVE 6.0 (BMW X2 - 2018) ?

[@bimmer-tech]

We don't offer DVD player retrofits. We can only activate the video in motion feature in your iDrive if you already have the DVD player.

Why does my Bluetooth have a 2 -3 seconds delay when I'm playing music or watching youtube videos? Im using an Android phone, is it different for iPhone users?

[@bimmer-tech]

The delay is a standard occurrence for wireless connections. It might differ from phone to phone based on a model of the BlueTooth antenna installed in the phone. Some phones will not experience a noticeable delay while other devices might struggle with it.

[@LILKIZIGUWAZ]

@@bimmer-tech I see, I didn't have this problem on my Subaru Impreza and I was using the same phone.

[@XxNewmilleniumxX]

@@LILKIZIGUWAZ Solution. Plug in your phone through usb, esp when streaming movies. That will get rid of the delay which is normal through bluetooth. Also if you want to go to idrive-media/radio-manage mobile devices-(your phone) and while your phone is plugged into usb also make sure its connected via bluetooth. Then click on and make sure bluetooth audio is disabled and then make sure the telephone is checked off. This way you can stream your music and videos in sync with usb and you can also make phone calls with bluetooth. Happens in the acura tlx also.

After my initial complimentary subscription traffic camera app expired Iso paid and re-subscribed. the app con is there and checked but I don't get alerts as I did before. for two weeks I have been emailing and calling BMW and they give the same useless response. I have reset the system more than 10 times. can anyone help?

[@bimmer-tech]

Please check the following file and if it is still not working, the best would be to visit your closest dealer www.bmwusa.com/content/dam/bmwusa/connected-drive/pdf/GSG_Traffic_Camera_Information.pdf

How can I reset my 2013 328i IDrive?

Hi, in order to help we'd have to know what kind of iDrive it is. Is it CIC or NBT?

Are you having these issues with an iDrive replacement you've bought from us? If so, please reach out to our support team at [e-mail].

[@Schnitzer325ci]

Appreciate the upload, but a remote coding session is not a hidden iDrive feature.

[@bimmer-tech]

it's matter of perspective, but yeah, it can be a bit of overstretch :)

[@scottsilverman]

Sorry to be a hater but why are we looking at the presenter and not the screen. Sorry but I do not need to see the presenter's face, I need to see the screen as he navigates the menu of choices.
