Was waiting for an article like this to appear. I have an X1 and integration with iPhone is a disaster.
The Audible app on the iPhone will popup a warning that consists of the BMW logo taking up 80% of the screen with a small text warning at the bottom saying "don't use this while driving" and a small "x" hidden somewhere to close the warning. It's beyond ridiculous.
What gets me most is the Audm app on the iPhone. Whenever I get back in the car after using it, it will cause the car to start playing the same song from my Apple Music library. Always the same song, but randomly picked as far as I can tell (it's not the last one I listened to nor or the first one alphabetically). It's like an alarm clock - you end up hating the song because it comes on every single time you start the car. When I delete the song from my library it will just pick another one. When I stop using Audm, this annoyance stops. No idea what the logic behind this behavior is.
The BMW connect app is currently stuck in a loop where it says it's "doing something", even after having restarted my phone. So it's currently unusable, guess I should reinstall it. This is an 80EUR app which I got so I can remote lock the car cause I always forget and people have helped themselves to stuff in my car so many times. The X1 doesn't lock itself when I walk away, unlike the 116D did.
GPS - garbage interface compared to Waze which I can't stop using despite my aversion to being tracked.
Great car, but many software annoyances.
- prepend 7y ago> The BMW connect app is currently stuck in a loop where it says it's "doing something" Cute error messages really frustrate me when they get stuck or display frequently. They just remind me how much I want an error message that gives me something to work with. This seems like the lazy implementation equivalent of “commit” as your commit message.
