Hi all,
i´ve posted this guide in the Bimmerfest Forum but it might be also useful
here. i´ve tested AAI in many different cars with factory navigation and
retrofitted ones. Cars from family and friend and also rental cars.
i´ve also talked with the Connected Drive support a few times about
connection issues with the different BMW android apps and how to fix them.
According to them, the BMW apps don´t work properly when updated through
the app store.
i always keep AAI up to date (always use the newest build) and also keep
spotify updated. Since i follow the steps below, i never had connection
issues.
1. Im some cars, BMW Apps in car only worked if telematic module had
an network signal when HU booted. (If car was in an well isolated garage
when HU booted, BMW Apps didn´t show up in Connected Drive menu. (seen on
NBT and NBT Evo))
2. you should only have ONE bmw app installed on every time. e.g. if
you have BMW Connected and myBMW installed on your phone at the same time.
they´ll sometimes block each other and your smartphone won´t connect to car
or connection will be unstable.
3. If you change or update/downgrade any BMW app. DON´T update
directly. Go to app settings -> delete app data -> delete app -> reboot
device -> install new BMW App.
4. Use the correct BMW App for your system. (my experience so far)
NBT: BMW Connected Classic 1.8 (BMW Connected 6.4 was very unreliable on
getting a working connection) (wired)
NBT Evo id4: couldn´t find a car to test
NBT Evo id5/id6 (retrofitted): BMW Connected 6.4 (wireless/BT)
NBT Evo id5/id6 (factory <03/2018): BMW Connected 6.4 (wireless/BT)
NBT Evo id5/id6 (factory >=03/2018): BMW Connected 6.4 and myBMW (BMW
Connected more stable and connects faster) (wireless/BT)
After updating to current BMW Connected 6.5, i wasn´t able to connect to
any BMW properly after.
Hope this will also help others.

I think it is worth adding that my bmw app disconnects after about 30 minutes and this is a huge disadvantage of this application. |

Edit2: myBMW: if your doing mostly long distance trips, you should consider using BMW connected even with newer cars. I mainly tested myBMW on short distance trips (20 - 30 min). Test driving a car or going grocery shopping. It worked most of the time, if it was able to connect. Sometimes it wouldn't connected at all. Only if I force closed AAI and myBMW, deleted cache and then started apps again. Then it worked for my short trips.
Edit: Forgot to mention one thing. Talked with the support about the Connection Issues with BMW Connected 6.5 . It seems like BMW wants to prepare users for which cars will be supported by myBMW. Many older Navs like CIC and NBT (non Evo) will not be supported by myBMW. Therefore, if you have a car with factory CIC or NBT added to your Connected Drive account, it won´t be listet in the "garage" section of BMW Connected 6.5. i for example have an F20 with factory CIC and retrofitted NBT Evo. Since my car had factory CIC, it won´t be supported by myBMW and therefore will not be visible in the garage (even if my smartphone is connected via bluetooth). The Tunneling for AAI won´t work in that case.
