Why did BMW ConnectedDrive suddenly stop working?

You need to check whether your BMW ConnectedDrive service has expired. If you wish to continue using the service, you will need to renew your subscription. If necessary, you can call BMW China Customer Service for professional official assistance. BMW 5 Series 2022 specifications: Length*Width*Height is 5106*1868*1500 (mm), equipped with a 2.0T engine, maximum torque of 290 (N·m), and maximum power of 135 (kW). Functions of BMW ConnectedDrive: It allows you to conveniently send addresses from Baidu Maps and Amap to your car, and also supports sending directly from Apple Maps to BMW ConnectedDrive. Meeting schedules (including desired arrival times) from the driver's phone calendar are automatically imported into BMW ConnectedDrive. BMW ConnectedDrive calculates the appropriate departure time based on current traffic conditions. With just one click, you can send the selected destination to the vehicle's integrated navigation system. Maps can be sent directly to BMW ConnectedDrive. BMW ConnectedDrive will remind the driver of the departure time via iPhone or Apple Watch to ensure timely arrival at the next destination. The system calculates the appropriate departure time based on the current vehicle location and real-time traffic information.
I recently encountered the issue of BMW ConnectedDrive not working. At first, I thought it was a network problem because my 4G signal was poor and prone to disconnections. Later, I realized the app might have bugs or need an update; server maintenance on BMW's side could also cause service interruptions. I recommend restarting your phone and checking mobile data signal strength first, then switching to Wi-Fi to try. Another common reason is expired account login—simply log out and log back in. The impact is quite significant as I'm used to remotely starting the engine for preheating or locking the car, but now I have to carry the physical key as a backup. This issue is particularly annoying during high-speed travel, so I've developed a habit of regularly updating the app to avoid scrambling when problems arise.
