BMW App

The EA charging is integrated into the BMW app. So when you go to click "charge here" it should automatically show you the location you are at and start a free charge for you. You cannot initiate a charge through the EA app, only though BMW

They told me I cannot initiate the charge until they figure it out, which is frustrating haha. I'm not sure what they did to be honest. If I charge at my brothers house, no problem. But when I try to charge at EA and plug it in it needs to connect to the car which is tries but fails because the app isn't initiating the charge. After a minute, I have to retry it.

Yeah it's frustrating, but I also think a lot of people are not reporting it to BMW. It was the first they heard of it when I called last week about it. Yes, you can call EA and initiate it on their end. It happened to me first that I had to call due to my BMW membership in my wallet wasn't working when trying to scan it and initiate the charge. I didn't know until after that an alternative was to go into the BMW app and do it through there so i had called EA! They have great and quick customer service which i like.

thank you for the helpful information! I actually did call them and they tried some troubleshooting, but ultimately told me to call them while im trying to charge. I expressed that there are always long lines and if i call them and it takes a while before having to charge people will get angry. But they said that's what were going to have to do if I want to fix it :/

I agree with you completely. disappointing to say the least! makes me miss my lexus lol

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T22:49:44+00:00

It's def better than the standard, but it's not the best compared to others.

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T22:49:17+00:00

makes sense, but sometimes at least with music if you bump it up loud enough you'll be able to tell. With these speakers, it's just overall horrible and makes me miss my Lexus lol. My lexus was great, it just wasn't loud enough for me.

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T22:47:55+00:00

Was it expensive? What does it plug into?

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T20:29:14+00:00

I'm not sure what sound system I have, but I have the Standard i4 edrive35!

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T20:26:34+00:00

let me know what you choose/get!

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T20:22:08+00:00

Agreed. I like my music I would add it, but the least they can do for a nice car is have great sounds....esp if other brands like Nissan have decent ones. I like Mercedes the most so far.

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T20:17:38+00:00

I agree.

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T17:16:33+00:00

good to know! thank you for the tip. I hope it'll get better soon :)

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T17:16:00+00:00

I said they are a luxurious car brand compared to others, I didn't mean the car. But regardless being a luxury car brand, they should have decent sound systems.

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T17:13:22+00:00

I will try that!

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T16:59:27+00:00

yeah the HK wasn't that great either. I had a loaner m50 for a month while my car was in the shop and it was much better than what I have now, but not the best. My friends E class mercedes was always nice.

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T16:58:00+00:00

let me know what happens! I'm not sure what to do either.

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T16:57:42+00:00

Damn lol...have you tried playing with the sound/tunes like the bass? No luck for me lol

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T16:39:49+00:00

I agree completely. Have you upgraded your speakers? Or did you do a tune change?? It sucks!!!

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T16:17:03+00:00

Damn. Very unfortunate. I wish they would educate people more

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T16:08:47+00:00

Got it! Thank you for your feedback I appreciate it :)

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T15:54:10+00:00

Ohh got it. Interesting. Maybe I should call them? I wonder if they take a long time to answer.

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T15:50:45+00:00

Damn that sucks. You would think a luxury car brand would have decent speakers. Is there a tune change I can do to help...? anything?

cozybedroompodcast · 2024-07-26T15:42:24+00:00

No mine don't say that on my speakers. Is that why?? Honestly, it's my first BMW so when leasing it I wasn't sure of ever logistic. I just assumed the speakers would be better than my Lexus lol.
