Not sure. Was curious if it is using the camera in the cluster (if you have driving assistant) and/or gesture control?

Finally the tyre pressure check in the app. I was highlighting this to the BMW team for couple of times. Next would be great to see some recent trip details to be able to claim my mileage in an easier way to my employer.

it's not super intuitive as the old app version was.
go to map (2nd icon from the left), and then tap the checkered flag at the top right.
next, click 'upcoming'
finally, click on the calendar entry shown and scroll down to 'SEND'

and it only works for entries in the next 72 hours.

I can’t find this in my BMW on iDrive 7. Is this applicable to future updates?

Brilliant! Thank you so much! Never would have found it myself.

iPhone users in the UK here, all current and up to date.

I have a MY21 G11 745e.

I have the tyre pressure readings, I have the calendar sync.

What about the theft alerts? There's no settings or anything, so… will it just go off??

Having had a MY16 Jaguar XF for several years, their app had all this stuff and way more and that was 5 years ago!!! Cool mapping, route history, all sorts of bits. Looking forward to seeing what BMW can do to catch up.

Sorry, I'm confused here - are you using your car's head unit? (the photo is throwing me off)
My directions referred to navigating the app on your phone

Yeah I am. Was agreeing with you with regards to the old app. In the old app the destination was sent automatically to the car and it asked you to accept it as the destination automatically. Also, you could find it under destinations sent from the app. The instructions in the new app are off and it is hard to find too…

oh duh I get what you mean now. and thank you
I'm on ID6 - I get the message icon in the dash and in the notifications display
I finally gave up on finding tire pressures figuring it would be ID7 only (be nice if they mentioned that in the release notes or something)

LogicalApex ,

Spot on, it really isn't. I found two ways to access items from my phone's calendar in my car:

* In the car, tap on the Apps button (looks like a globe), cursor over to MyBMW Icon & tap on it; select event you want

* On your phone, open MyBMW App; tap on map icon (2d from left); then tap on Checkered flag. Select event & send to car. Two notes:
-- Only events within next couple of days show up
-- For events within a few hours, this will work; others am not sure about

Hope that helps!
