I purchased a brand new X5 today. They touted this app at the dealership. So, I was shocked to find out that, in 2016, I had to physically plug my phone into the vehicle for this app to work. Anything this app can do, it should be able to do through Bluetooth and/or Wifi. In fact, most of what this app can do can happen via Bluetooth without the app. Please enable Apple CarPlay so we can move beyond these kinds of problems.
