Is there a way to more permanently tie the profile to the fob used for the future?įirst, I would check/change batteries (one may be flat or defective). What gives? Me and my key have been nowhere near the car. She changes to her profile - which doesn't adjust the seats anymore - then adjusts everything, drives, gets out, locks the car, comes back an hour later and my name still pops up.
#Bmw idrive 7 profile driver
This morning every time she enters the car, it brings up my driver profile.
Whenever she drove the car, it would adjust for her. Your iPhone and BMW iDrive 7 system are now connected via Apple CarPlay.Everything worked just fine until this morning: whenever I opened the car with my fob, the seat and everything else would adjust for me. Select the option to connect to Apple CarPlay on your iDrive 7 screen. The two will now begin pairing, and your iDrive 7 screen will confirm the pairing request.Ĭonfirm the PIN displayed on your iDrive 7 and iPhone screens match, then press Yes.
#Bmw idrive 7 profile Bluetooth
On your iPhone, select your BMW from the Bluetooth menu. The system is now discoverable from your iPhone, and may display nearby devices. On left side of your iDrive 7 screen, press COM > Mobile Devices > New Device > Phone calls and audio. Make sure Bluetooth, WiFi, and Siri are activated on your iPhone. Follow this easy step-by-step guide, or watch the video above to pair your Apple iPhone to your new 2019 BMW with Apple CarPlay.
The connected drive login would just not connect since my car is from the UAE with CD not being enabled because the dealership in Abu Dhabi does not have it enabled yet.Īvailable on all BMW models with the iDrive 7 system, Apple CarPlay is the best way to connect your Apple iPhone to your new BMW. I wonder if its a security feature linking carplay to a driver profile for security. So after spending sometime with Ukd X6, who kindly helped me troubleshoot over whatsapp, we suspect its linked to my car not being able to create a driver profile. Even when i try to voice command my BMW to start car play, it says this feature is not available. I think the main difference between my car and other is the option where you choose BMW System or Idrive which i somehow do not have. Ended up spending another 45mins in the car trying different combinations with no success. I couldn't wait so i immediately had to test by switching off and on siri to see if it had any effect. I think you issue is that it works in dubai only, not in ksa. I had siri off completely on my iphone, unfortunately siri has to be on fully on your iphone to enable carplay.Īs for the internet services/apps, the x5 has a data service, for example in kuwait the dealer has a deal with zain, which provides data services for the car for 2 years once bought new, then the customer renews it. So I spent some time on apple support page. When i attempt to add the car to my account online, i get this message:ĬarPlay comes standard on all x5’s, I had the same issue, i searched all bmw forums, nothing came. The problem is that we do not have BMW connected drive service in KSA just yet so although I have a connected drive account, the car is not able to connect to the internet. I've just downloaded bimmercode and messed with a bit and was wondering if anyone has tried enabling carplay via coding. There is no option to enable carplay at the minute. I would make sure to get the driver profile done first, since you’ll make all of these settings changed to your preferences, but will only be on the guest profile and not tied to your account/key fob. Once done, you will see all of your subscribed services on the site, which should include CarPlay. This should solve your driver profile issue, since you can log in with those same credentials in your car. If you don’t have an account, you should be given the option to register. You can google it if you can’t find it and should see it. Is this your first BMW? If so, head over to your country’s Connected Drive Portal site. It will run through some prompts and you should be good.Ģ. From there, you should see an option to change the way it is connected from iDrive to CarPlay. Connect your phone via Bluetooth pairing, then go into mobile device settings and select your paired phone.
CarPlay should be active if all your services are up. I’ll try to answer, but your experience may vary.ġ. I did it on my last car, but had to sign in to the new G05 with it and activate new services. That’s weird.I can’t remember, but I believe the dealership created an account and I had to sign in and finish it.
