Have a 2023 X3 with I guess you’d call it iDrive 7.5, the last design before they went to 8. 2 or 3 days ago I noticed traffic information was no longer showing in the BMW navigation app. Tried going into the Traffic Info section and it just says there is nothing. Worked flawlessly until 2 or 3 days ago.
Checked through My BMW and the subscriptions are still active. They are the 4 year subs that came with the car.
I believe the actual telematics in the car are fine. I am able to load weather information, the latest drive and status information from the car shows up in the My BMW app and I can send commands from the app to the car and they go through.
Gonna spin by the dealer tomorrow but expecting they won’t be aware of anything yet just starting the week on a Monday so figured I’d see if anyone here has seen their traffic info stop loading recently.
Same here for the last few days… 2022 530i… the Spotify app quit working as well, so I presume it has something to do with the internet connectivity, like other commenter said, it comes and goes every few months for several days.
I spent about an hour at the dealership with the BMW Genius. Interesting results.
We checked another employee’s car that matched mine. 2023 X3 M40i. They also were not receiving traffic information.
The BMW Genius then checked his own car, a BMW i4 with iDrive 8…and he was getting traffic information so looks to us like some kind of issue with iDrive 7.5 and something on the services end.
Who knows. A shame if this is a regular occurrence. I’d find the combo of losing Spotify the bigger annoyance if I used it.
Yes, very much so… it’s happened probably three times since I’ve had the car. Thanks for letting me know what you found at the dealer.
