BMW 5 Series: BMW Connected app

BMW 5 Series G30 2016-2024 Training Manual / Telephone and Telematics / BMW Apps / BMW Connected app

Introduction

The BMW Connected app combines all the apps previously provided by BMW into one common app.

It replaces the following current apps:

  • My BMW Remote app
  • BMW i Remote app
  • BMW Remote App (G12)
  • BMW Connected Classic App (previously: BMW Connected app)

The BMW Connected app is initially only available for the iPhone. A version for Android smartphones will follow shortly.

The previous individual BMW apps will be replaced by the BMW Connected app from October 2016.

Overview

The BMW Connected app is illustrated in this product information in conjunction with a BMW i3 so as to be able to show more of the app's content.

One or more vehicles are assigned to the BMW Connected app by way of a registration process.

A vehicle can be registered either through the ConnectedDrive portal or directly via the BMW Connected app.

The graphic below shows the main screen of the BMW Connected app once a vehicle has been assigned.
