Park Mobile App?

Has anyone figured out how to use the ParkMobile app on the car?

I use the ParkMobile app all the time in the DC area on my phone but I can't figure out how to achieve step 4 in the below pictures. I am on Android and the option to "Link your BMW ConnectedDrive account to the ParkMobile app." does not seem to exist. I also can't find anything on Google about how to do it either..

There appears to be two apps which look the same. The other is Park Now. Although I’m not sure which is what.

In the ParkMobile app, add a new vehicle. On the new car screen you should se an option to link to BMW ConnectedDrive. I just tried that today and it looks like it worked.

That's unbelievable, I don't know what happened but I swear that option was not there last time I looked. The app just updated, maybe they changed it? Thanks for posting that, I got it linked on the phone now, just need to see what happens in the car next time I launch the app.

What does this app do, is it something US specific or it's something useful?

I've given up trying to set it.

I have the app but add new vehicle doesn't show me an option to connect BMW connectedrive. I use spothero instead since I prefer their app.

BMWs partnership with ParkMobile either ended or ending soon. Tried using it a couple times to find a spot in NYC. In vehicle experience with the app is nothing more than the car listing your parking reservations and the ability to initiate navigation to lot/garage.

Significantly easier (and cheaper) time using ParkWhiz instead.

Correct, it ended and bmw will be launching their own parking system. In Europe it’s only online in Germany and Austria right now, and is integrated into the my bmw app.

I found park mobile the most useful app that worked across Europe and was 100% reliable
