Hi folks,

Just picked up my 2018 M240i last week and am highly frustrated with the lack of functionality of iDrive features which I had been expecting. I know this is nothing new for many. Let me lay it all out...

Canadian car (so ConnectedDrive is already useless...hopefully new app soon)
No CarPlay
Using iPhone 7plus running iOS 11.4
Have Bimmercode and Vgate (have already coded a few things)

So, my issues, where do I start...

1) not getting text messages
- comes in on phone but not relayed to iDrive
- I do not see options in the BMW Bluetooth selection for notifications
- under Notifications>Messages, I have everything selected
- CarPlay can't be the only way to get these to show, is it??

2) send to car feature not working from Google Maps or Connected Classic
- I know this has been an issue, has it been resolved?
- I tried using the GoDriving app that is supposed to work but it doesn't
- tried directly from ConnectedDrive Classic with GoDriving but still no

3) had iPhone connected via USB and running Spotify but couldn't change source
- wanted to switch to iTunes Music on phone but can't find option to stop Spotify and play iTunes

4) I know this is a coding question but asking here...can I code Nav map to show distance to next turn instead of showing in instrument cluster?


Any insight into any of these to help reduce my frustration would be greatly appreciated!!
