Ok, buckle in. Bumps ahead.
BMW ConnectedDrive is only partially functional in Canada and shouldn't be considered anything more mature than a beta product at present, IMHO.
Talked to a Genius. Definitely worth the time. When the car is setup, there is a password assigned during activation. You need that from the Genius. Apparently changing it through the web app will lock the account. It gets confused by the concept of "Canada"
With that, you can setup BMW Remote but not sure about the ConnectedDrive site and stuff like BMW Labs (necessary for IFTT integration). Some of that simply might not work, per the last comment about the App Store etc.
I don't know that I can recommend any of this from a security perspective.
