I've tried this option with numerous pressed cds at various different times and never had success. I've tried cds that weren't in the in-car gracenote db, I've tried those that were in it, I've even tried a cd I know for a fact is in the full db (but not in the trimmed down in-car version). Same result each and every time:

"Data transfer unsuccessful"

This is with a 2014 NBT (iDrive 4.2), 609, and assist activated. All other "online" tech appears to function normally.

Anyone actually able to use this feature? The in-car gracenote database is quite a bit slimmer than that I've had in other vehicles, probably because of album art.

Thanks,

Jesse

Late reply to this, but here's my experience:

Not sure this is an 'in-car' gracenote DB, looks like it's using BMW Online's embedded SIM to look up the album info (including cover art)... oddly enough, Random Access Memories came up right away but had no cover art, but Above & Beyond's Group Therapy had cover art. My guess is it got downloaded from the Internet.
