Hi jilin101,
Thanks for your comment, I created an account on BMW ConnectedDrive the day I received the vehicle and downloaded the app on the my phone. Under what section in the iDrive I need to sign-in? I cannot find it! The other thing I noticed from day 1 when I installed and configured the app, if I try to trigger a function like the horn as an example, it never works, the app would state "sending to vehicle" for quite sometime and then I see failed. Thanks

In order for you to update your map, you need to create a Connected Drive account and add the VIN to your vehicles. Once you create the account, you can set your region for map update (you get 4 years (from the date of the original sale) of free over-the-air map update ). To get the map updates, you must also go into Connected Drive in your vehicle and log into the account.
I would also recommend you download the Connected Drive app to your smart phone, from which you can search destination and send it to your vehicle (instead of using the iDrive controller)--this does not require an active subscription as far as I know.
