So my G29 is currently having a full body Xpel Stealth wrap (incl. interior trim) and window tint and my iPhone lights up with a notification saying someone is in my car. Pretty cool!

Interesting. Mine doesn't even reliably tell me whether I've locked the car or not. E.g. a couple of days ago I opened the app to check my mileage and it says "passenger door unlocked" and "driver's window open".

Went out to check and everything was fine. Waste of space really.

Z4 owners: I'm really confused...my connecyed drive app is very unreliable and almost always days behind. Also, my options don't include many of those above?? I'm in Indiana. Thoughts?

My app is very reliable, but doesn't look like OP's app and I'm in Texas. Mine shows gallons for gas, not % like his and I have no info on doors, windows, top, etc. Maybe different apps for different phones - mine is an Android.

Sometimes when my wife goes through the garage I press the horn button on the app Otherwise, I have never had any problems with the app on my iPhone.

I just got an iPhone for work and downloaded the app. The original OP app is from and iPhone. It's def different from the Android app. They need to step up and make them the same.
