BMW Connected for Android

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5, 2012 BMW X5, and 2011 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

BMW Connected links the user's portable device to the vehicle systems using the appropriate application software (app). The application software's functions appear in the vehicle's Central Information Display (CID). It is operated by the controller in the center console.

Certain system requirements must be met in order to use BMW Connected. Option 6NR (BMW Connected) or 6AK (ConnectedDrive Services) must be available in the vehicle. The vehicle's production date must be 07/2013 or newer. The customer also requires an appropriate end device with a suitable mobile radio contract (broadband data connection). An overview of the corresponding end device is the BMW compatibility matrix, which is available through BMW.

NOTE: A broadband data connection is needed in order to use all of the functionality of BMW Connected. The costs that are incurred (e.g. data roaming) are a constituent of the customer contract with the end device service provider. The country-specific requirements and prerequisites must be observed when doing this.
The requirements for the terminal device and its software can be found in the BMW compatibility matrix for mobile terminal devices. The BMW compatibility matrix and detailed information about BMW Connected are available through BMW.
