@BeamerView Жыл бұрын

Not possible to have a key solely for valet parking unfortunately. The best way BMW has it set up to be used is simply to activate valet parking mode when handing the vehicle off to valet (a great idea would be to set this mode as a shortcut by clicking and holding "valet mode" in the settings. You can also remove the key fob from the manual key and still have your house keys and valet can use the key fob. Thanks for the watch! Let me know if this helps.

Great video. Do you know what mapping software bmw uses? The only benefit the bmw nav gives is it shows in the HUD, in apple car play google maps or waze dont show in the hud, but apple maps does a little, why is that?

@BeamerView Жыл бұрын

Hey Farzad, thanks for reaching out. I'm not too familiar with the software that goes with it, just focused more on the overview. Yes, the only benefit is the BMW map on the HUD, and as you mentioned, Apple Maps will show route previews on it and not the entire map. Not exactly sure why this is. I'm pretty sure that a lot of work and communication must be done with Waze, and google maps would have to take place directly with BMW and maybe something that not enough people use daily, so they haven't bothered upgrading it. They are also focusing more on integrating those apps into the new iDrive 8 vehicles. On the newer iDrive 8 models, there are much more updates that did take place. On that, you can see the complete apple map shown on the instrument cluster, and for android users, you can see the whole google map shown there as well. I haven't used either on the HUD yet, but I'm sure it should also be much newer there.

How about do a video on adjusting the seat for most ergonomic setting etc I have a 2021 340i with M sport seats. This is my 8th BMW win a row, for some reason, no matter what I try, I can’t seem to get my seat into a comfortable position in this new BMW / current BMW model

@BeamerView Жыл бұрын

Hey Allen, congrats on your 8th BMW, I see myself going into the same direction. It does take some getting use to with the newer seats. I'm assuming you've already adjusted things like the lumbar support, side bolsters, and the standard seating adjustments. Also try to adjust the steering wheel in combination with all those and see if that helps. If you're still having a hard time, my guess would be that it's more mental over anything. When you're used to the old style BMW seating, its difficult to adjust to the newer feel, many have complained about that for even how the steering feel getting lighter over the years as well. My best advice would be to find a position that you think is 75 percent nice and leave it there. Sometimes adjusting the seat multiple times makes the situation worse. You could also try a lower back driving pillow to see if that helps? > amzn.to/3iQjYQf

I was wondering if you set up the second profile in your car, if you registered the person with the vin number of the car I think they become the primary. So how do you really suppose to set up the second driver. My second key is still not registering but he is on now as a second profile but i did not activate his app to the car so he cannot remote start?

@BeamerView Жыл бұрын

Hey Ginny, just saw this one. When you register with the VIN into the My BMW App, it should ask you if you would like to replace main user, this is a no since your husband will be secondary. You could also simply add the driver profile in by manually entering the username (email) and password into the driver profile screen after you press " add driver profile ", this will allow you to have a profile without using the app. Profile would be more important than the App in my opinion, if he did want to remote start he can press lock 3 times on the remote as well.

Thank you for this video! Question my husband set himself up as "Primary User" when we were setting up the App on our phones but now we want to change that to make me as the "Primary" are we able to change it? How? Thanks

@BeamerView Жыл бұрын

Hey Nina, not sure if my last comment went through. But the best way to do is it so re-add your vehicle into the app from fresh. Best way to go about it would be.. 1. Go into the APP 2. Click on what looks like a set of cars on the top right of the app. 3. Find your BMW and swipe left or right on it until you see the option to delete it. 4. Go top the top of that same screen and "Add vehicle" 5. Go through the steps to link the vehicle again, during this process it should ask if you are going to be the main user. Select yes

Haven't tested it out but I'm pretty sure they would turn off after you begin to drive, it could be a safety thing since the light is quite bright, and is there for aesthetics when you're getting into your vehicle. Some say you can use code to keep it on all the time though.

I can't confirm on the percentage but if you go into Settings > Vehicle Status you can go into the menu where it shows the up coming services, that should show the expected miles you can travel. Another way to try would be through the MY BMW App. On the top portion of the app i think you could check status through that way too.

Couple reasons, if a vehicle has Drivers Assistance Professional, it'll change colors depending on how the vehicle is sensing the road. If it's green, then it's sensing it perfectly, and if it's yellow, it may need assistance, etc. It can also be used during the self parking mode. Again, basically letting you know how confident the car feels doing it's own self parking.

Hey Antonios, from my end I am un-able to check the vin as it's blocked since it's already a sold vehicle. The best bet would be to reach out to your dealer / where you ordered it from and see if they can look into it to see whats going on. It is something that may seem stressful I can imagine but I would not worry too too much. It's normal for a couple things like that to happen. It'll be back on track before you know it.
