iDrive with no Office Menu?

Hello all

After playing with my iDrive settings and doing multiple searches, I'm a bit stumped as to why my 2015 M235i with Enhanced Bluetooth and Tech package w/NAV does not have the "Office" option within iDrive.


My friend's 2014 X3 has this and can see text messages and emails from the phone on the iDrive controller.

I have my own seo company and using the office setting would be very helpful for reading emails on the go.

I've messed with literally every setting in the car; bluetooth, phone config, etc etc. No office option. Any ideas ?

Car needs to be built with the $350 option "Enhanced USB and Bluetooth plus smartphone integration." Instead of office, does it say "contacts" on the main menu?

What's on your options list?

6NH or 6NS?

Can't see the options list, but I have my window sticker and it says the following:

Tech Package:
-Navigation System
-BMW Online and BMW Apps
-Advanced RTTI
-Remote Services

Hands-free Bluetooth and USB

Doesn't look like I have a $350 option for Enhanced Bluetooth. I was told it was included in the Tech Package. **** me right.


How do they not include that in the Tech package? That's ridiculous.


Any way to add it in?

Maybe it can be coded in? I've seen on these forums that Pikachu is a good coder...

On a side note, if you hold the voice command button on the steering wheel it'll access the personal assistant on your phone.

Go to http://www.bimmer.work/ enter the last 7 digits of your vin (click I'm not a robot if it asks) and click submit...

down under options you should see something like ...

6AM Real Time Traffic Information Real Time Traffic Information
6AP Remote Services Remote Services
6NS Convenience Telephony With Extended Komforttelefonie Mit Erw. Smartphon
6WA Instrument Cluster W. Extended Cont Instrumentenkombi. M. Erw. Umf.
609 Navigation System Professional Navigationssystem Professional

if you have 6NH instead of 6NS then you don't have it but you can code it

Bump to see if this worked for you?

My M240i does not have texting capabilities. I have code 6NH..

I have navigation and don't know why office was not included. There is not an enhanced smartphone/usb option for the 2017 model year.

Thanks!

Awesome, you have a M240i with idrive 5.0?

Was it hard?

Did you only have to do what was in this thread?

Yup! I have an M240i with iDrive 5.0 and followed the same instructions. Bear in mind our headunit is HU_NBT2 and our combox is KOMBI (someone correct me on this or confirm?) I coded both and it seemed to work!

Does anyone know what other 'Options' you can compare from the list that are possible to be coded?

Can this be coded with bimmercode or does it need to be done with heavier coding software?

Thanks

Don't think it is possible with BimmerCode. I have gone into expert settings and changed everything that was recommended. Still no text messages. The only other enhanced Bluetooth function I have not tested is pairing two phones.

I don't know if the coding cheat sheet is out of date or not. It looks to have been created preLCI but only one line of code is recommended to be changed.

It can be done in bimmer code. Ive done it. See my post. Make sure you are coding for the right head unit (NBT vs NBT Evo).
