BMW Roadside for Android
I don't have a $70,000 car, to be stuck Valentine's day for 5 hours.... they are using the same company for customer service Allstate is using
When I first installed this (on a tablet, where it's not really at all useful) I had no trouble registering both of our 2011 BMW's. That tablet doesn't even have a cellular radio, so WiFi was the only possible way for it to connect. Now that I have a Nexus S (on which such an app could be useful) it won't register any of the cars unless WiFi is disabled, in which case it will register. There is no conceivable reason for such a limitation. This silly software design decision reflects poorly on BMW.
N1 - Works good. Wifi must be turned off to register / work.
Will not accept VIN for new 2011 models rendering the apparently usless.
Works well on droid x. Must disable wifi to register.
Cannot register 2010 R1200RT. Dealership lookup will not connect. Does not use all of the screen.
Does not work on moto Droid. Please fix. Unable to register. Fixed it myself. Needs to have wifi and/or bluetooth turned off
Can't register my 07 on my ATRIX
Need a way to use this on Droid tablets
Failed to register after download. Samsung Galaxy S on AT&T.
Works great, no problems on DX.
Unable to register my name or VIN after many many tries.
Cannot get it to register for my 2007 R1200S m/c on Galaxy S II, WiFi on or off. I just unstalled this. Funny, it worked fine yesterday, on my now unactivated iPhone 3GS.
Fails to register; I uninstalled
Did not work on my droid incredible. Now it does.
No motorcycle dealers listed. iPod version does. :-(
Not bad. Needs some more features.
For many of the options there cannot be a connection established. Please fix its fixed!
App will not register info. Communication errors. Does not work. HTC Incredible.
Installed correctly and can see my vehicle listed after registration. The "near me" option for finding service centers only uses my home address. BAD!
Does no one do any testing before they release this junk? Let's require people to enter a 10 digit phone number but only give them a field with an 8 digit limit! Genius move!
Update: now working and giving 5 stars for great app and great functionality. Now go fix the connected drive app with M lap timer and give android the BMW remote app in the US, please! As title says, this app crashes when started on a Droid Maxx. It worked the first few times, but ever since I rebooted my phone, it won't start up at all. Uninstalled and installed again, no luck. Just bought a new M235i and can't use any BMW apps.
Didn't x-fer my acct info when it switched from Signature to Allstate, but able to re-reg my car quickly/easily. HTC EVO 4G
I didn't have any problem installing or registering at all. Requested the assistance from the app and got a call back to confirm in less than 5 minutes and tow truck showed up in 55 minutes after(exactly as what app was showing) I do live in Los Angeles so maybe in suburbs is not as good but my experience was great.
Still can call, but registration impossible because it doesn't recognize vin
Doesn't accept accurate VIN#, then freezes up.
Made a claim and Never went through. Had to call. So app is useless
Apps freezes at start tried everything
Does not accpet VIN
I registered successfully and then...nothing. just a splash screen. Had to force close it. Uninstalling.
Freezes
Wuts the point of this app, if u are unable to register.... error cant enter ur mobile # ?
Useless app -- won't let me register because the field for phone number won't allow me to type the complete phone number. I'm using a Galaxy Nexus takju.
I'm unable to register with the new app as it asks for my 10 digit number but it doesn't allow me to enter a 10 digit number.
I can't register because I have to enter a 10 digit phone number but it doesn't allow me to enter it.
Fantastic upgrade!!!
Successfully registered my motorcycle by vin. They need too add a button to select car or motorcycle dealer search.
Accepts and regcognizes a BMW motorcycle VIN, however no BMW motorcycle dealers appear in the "Locate a Dealer" function. Have not had to try the app yet, so I am not sure if the person on the roadside assistance end would provide proper motorcycle oriented assistance. This looks to be a automobile based product only on first use.
Good idea, wont register, wifi off, ANI doesnt match defined registry or somethin, uninstall
