send to car maps and find my car - outage?

Hey! Curious if others are having issues with BMW ConnectedDrive google send to car and the app, find my iphone. It's been out for about a week on my car.

I have a case filed with BMW Genius.

They're shutting down the whatever the little 'connect' button by mirror is called since it runs on 3G or some obsolete communication system. If the BMW app goes through the same server it'll go away too. Major suck!

What app version are you guys running. I reverted to Ver 2.0.1 after an update killed the climate control feature. Have they fixed that?

Thanks!

was under the impression that climate control wasn't available on the Exx series cars in the US. I've never had climate control on my app. just remote lock, send to car, and find my car.

It is available for the E84, but BMW killed it in one android app update and I don't know if they've fixed it since. I just reinstalled the last ver where everything worked and declined every update.
