My BMW app stopped working, got a white screen, my X5 - jwalton
My BMW app stopped working, got a white screen, my X5 said 6% new software downloaded and frozen. I called BMW USA help line for the app and online. Was told to uninstall and reinstall the My BMW app, which I had already done. Thats all the help without escalating it to the IT people. So, I called the BMW Genisus at BMW of Crystal Lake, Devon had not heard of this problem. He suggested I should drive the X5 as to finish download it needs to be driven. Drove 30 minutes, still frozen at 6%. xxxx. I went to BMW of Crystal Lake, Devon was waiting. Service writer said they can force the software update, too late today, offered me a nice loaner. Then Devon got on my Android phone and changed default web browser from Edge to Google and then got the app working (I had spent 3 hours on that). Well, the software started downloading to the phone and was done in 10 minutes. So, we took the X5 out and in 1/2 a mile the vehicle had gone from 5% to 44%. So, I headed home, 100% download done in another 10-15 minutes. I got home, as soon as I parked the X5 screen offered to install the large update and was di=one in 20 minutes. NICE. A huge thank you to Devon at the dealer and the service shop for being able to get me in and offer a loaner with no notice. BMW of Crystal Lake is great with customer service and always ready to assist. Makes owning a BMW so easy. THANK YOU!
