BMW Assist provides that without the iPhone APP ... with an active account it is handled by phone call to them. (For e60s with a production date after 9/06.)

I already have an account attached to my iPhone (with a bunch of apps), how would I transfer it to my iPhone without wiping out my old account?

In order to use a UK Itunes account you must provide billing address and CC info for the UK, How did you get around this??

So I have the app installed, but how do I login?

I called BMW Assist and they have my email address correct and they provided me with my PASSCODE/PASSWORD that's used to protect my account (no numbers it was a word). I type those into the app, but nothing happens. Am I using the right authentication ID or should I be calling a specific BMW call center?

Thanks in advance!

Ok guys, I figured out in part thanks to Luxurytax and the link he posted. What you will have to do is create the new account on your iphone unless you are still running version 9.0 Itunes to avoid the credit card number entry. Download is in progress but seems to take awhile from what I can tell to pull from the overseas server.

Hope this helps..
