Where is the Connected app in iTunes?

TaylorA · 03-28-2012, 10:03 PM

I downloaded what I thought was the app but it turns out to be something called "Explore Connected Drive" which seems to be just a spiel about the system - there's nothing to activate?

Here is a link to the BMW Connected app:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bmw-c...406975118?mt=8

When you go to this page, it may automatically open iTunes. If not, click on View in iTunes.

Thanks jzj - that did the trick

Any idea why my internet still wont work yet Connected Drive and Apps does?

I don't think Internet connectivity is part of BMW Apps, but it may vary by country.

I think internet service is a separately priced item from BMW. It doesn't use your phone etc. for internet but goes out, I assume, through their connection to car. I think it was 199 a year so I didn't bother and don't know anyone who has used it.

The regular cable works for most things, but in order to get the IPod Interface you must have the cradle, then go into PlugIn under connected drive. This then brings your ipod playlists, genius selection, etc.
