One more thing i'm seeing is i can't see my service due dates, but i also can't set the time. i.e. the car won't auto connect to bmw online anymore. Seeing something like this?
Wow... that's not right. I'm seeing nothing of the kind. Of course when I did the install, I disconnected the battery, which forced me to need to reset the EVO unit's time. Are you not able to access the original BMW menu? Remember, to switch between the Carlink display and BMW EVO display, you need to hold down the menu button on the idrive unit for 3-5 seconds. That should get you to the time setting menu.

Regarding not being able to connect with BMW online, that doesn't surprise me since according to the Carlink directions, you should turn off the Bluetooth transceiver on the EVO unit. If you've done that, then the car can't access the web through your phone... at least that's how I thought it worked!
