iDrive 6 and ConnectDrive Store (Universal)

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Are there any users here with iDrive 6 in your car and also have the ConnectedDrive store?

I am trying to find owners of cars with the 4G LTE (Next Generation) module and iDrive 6. I would like to know if you can access the ConnectedDrive store.

If you can access it, can you purchase remote start?

Thank you

Yes and yes, but remote start not available on my car (F87 M2 Comp) so can't answer that question. Other stuff that my car does support can be bought through the store, though I have everything for 4 years as delivered, so nothing to buy at the moment.

Would you purchase remote start from the store if you could?

I want to retrofit a NBT EVO plus 4G box so I can get hotspot but also I reallllyy want remote start. Seems only iDrive 7 for undiscovered reasons.

Thanks for the response.

Out of curiosity, what are you using as a guide/source for a 4g+ID6 retrofit?

Negative. Climate here doesn't make it a desired feature for me.

Right! There is going to be some expertise required. Either in establishing the items which can easily transplant or ones that need replacement, and for which models!

BMW's permission is another fight. I think they may have recently discovered how to add retrofits to their ConnectedDrive servers. Also, some of the parts seem to require their help to prevent it from becoming a brick.

Based on that reddit thread, the guy with the i3 seemed to have the best way of going about it. Having the existing ATM replaced with the 4g model, by the dealer, so its fully coded to his VIN out of the box.

The routes I've found are usually...the ATM you'd buy off a doner car cant be re-coded, so you have to get a ID6 head unit and have that coded to the ATM. Resulting in your cars vin being different than the head unit....but allegedly that works....I'd rather find a way to have everything tied to my cars correct VIN. And have someone help find me all the part numbers i need to order lol
