Anyone get Remote 3D View to work?

Everything seems to work in BMW Connected works, except Remote 3D View. I get info from it, like Fuel Level, Doors locked and windows up, etc. I can Locate Vehicle, Lock or Unlock Doors, Ventilate, Flash the Lights, Honk the Horn, etc. Every time I try 3D View, it wakes up the car (I can hear a relay), It says "Connection to secure server was made", but hangs at "Activating camera system". Says "error occurred", and "Camera system could not be activated"
I have updated latest software, rebooted idrive, uninstalled the app on my iphone and reinstalled a couple of times. I've talked to BMW Genius and Connected Drive people several times. Last time (a couple days ago) they punted me back and forth between the two entities several times and I finally ended up on the phone with connected drive people who said they needed to generate a ticket. Was put on hold 4 or 5 times and was on the phone for about an hour. She finally told me that the 3D View currently doesn't work from their end, and has been out of commission for quite some time and they don't know when it will be back. I asked her why they kept me on the phone for an hour if it hasn't been working for several weeks. At this point I don't trust that she knew what she was doing and just wanted to get me off the phone. Anybody been able to use this feature in the last few weeks? That's when I took deliver and haven't seen it work yet.

Well, apparently I was lied to. I was told the servers that do that were down and had been for a few weeks. It seemed to me she just didn't want to or didn't know how to create a ticket number and just wanted to get me off the phone.

I needed to call BMW Connected and they rebuilt my profile and pushed the subscription to my i-Drive.

I was told to go into the i-Drive settings (ID6) and request an update to BMW assist.

Since this was completed I have had very few issues with 3D remote view.

I have idrive 7. I've already done an update. I guess I'll just have to keep calling and hope one of these times someone answers who knows what they're doing.

They basically rebuilt my profile from scratch. Then they pushed my subscription to the car. After that you need to update BMW assist in your i-Drive.

If it doesn't work. Delete the app on your phone. Install from AppStore again. Should work flawless after.

I think this is an issue with MY2020 with iDrive 7. Mine is doing the exact same thing. Connects to servers but errors out on the activating cameras step. I picked my car up on October 31st and Remote View has never worked.

As I said, I've already done that. Several times. No change.

Yes, I've done that a couple of times at least.

Since I haven't had any luck over the phone, I sent them an email. It's been 2 weeks and haven't heard a thing back from them.

I’ve had the same exact problem with my 2020 Competition since the day I took delivery last November. I brought her in for the transmission harness recall today and discovered that there was also a new software update available. It was flashed a few hours ago and, for the first time, Remote 3D View works!

Bingo!! Same with me! Took in my 2020 M5C because my gage cluster would not boot up on occasions. I even took a video of me driving with a blank screen just in case they came back with "could not replicate issue". Ever since they did the software upgrade for that, my 3D view has worked consistently.

Mine started working after I took it in for service. I assumed it was just an app issue but clearly they updated it behind the scene.

After scanning this thread, and being a new owner of a 2020 M5, I don't know what app you are speaking of as obviously my dealer's rep who showed me the car's features mentioned not a word about it. Can someone please inform me what app I should download on my iPhone and what features it allows. Is it a paid subscription service? Does it afford the ability to remote start?

Thank you.
