Help! Google Map "Messages" no longer being received!

x97Melbourne · 03-07-2014, 05:32 PM

Hello All,
I have a 2013 328i Convertible (so, the old body style).

I use the "send messages" frequently through my laptop with Google Maps to SEND addresses to my car. Until very recently, the messages were being received. The messages show up under "Connected Drive -- Messages." There is a little envelope icon when a new message pops up.

Starting about 2 weeks ago, I do not get ANY messages in my car. It has stopped working entirely.

Any ideas?

My car was "new" January 2013. Not sure if this matters....

Thanks....I appreciate any ideas. I love that feature of my car and miss it very much.

I think there is a limit to how many messages it will store. At least there is with my 2011 E90. I ran into the same problem so I went to the list of messages and deleted a handful of them and it started working again.

To delete a message, highlight it in the list, push the Option button and select 'delete' or 'discard message' (I don't remember the exact verbiage).
