I keep getting private messages with how to program a tablet to a vehicle.
This is the method for a vehicle equipped with the tablet and for whatever reason needs to be reprogrammed.

Step 1 Ensure the touch command tablet is fully turned off (NOT in standby mode)
step 2 Press the following keys, "Home,Volume up and Power" at the same time for 5 seconds.
When you see the android logo, let them go
step 3 a menu selection will come up use the volume keys to scroll through the selections. press the power button to select.Select the "Wipe Data/ Factory Reset option"
step 4 Select "yes delete all user data" and use the power button to confirm it.
step 5 press the power button again to reboot.
Step 6 the tablet will take a bit to reboot but now will prompt you to reconnect to the vehicle.
Step 7 use the set up wizard inside the vehicle (essentially just act liker you are going to hook up a phone but select the touch command tablet option instead)
Step 8 while the car is looking for the tablet, on the tablet itself select reconnect to vehicle.

Once again what can be done and what BMW tells can't be are 2 entirely different things. I just don't want to be held responsible lol.
