If you cannot see the app I learned there is way to speed up the app enablement. Eventually the 'Transferring data.' message changes to 'Apps and services updated'.ДЄfter successful installation scroll to 'Installed apps' and select and you should now see the DR app icon. This step required multiple attempts and calls to BMW as nothing seemed to be happening and there is nothing useful such as % complete indicator (more on this later). A new dialog box should appear with 'Transferring data.'. A dialog box should then appear, scroll to 'Update Apps and services' and select with the selector wheel. Now press the 'Option' button on the console next to the selector wheel.

Still in the apps window, scroll until 'Installed apps' is highlighted, that is it changes color to red. However I learned there is way to speed this up. I was informed that this can take up to 4 days. This could be anywhere from an hour to 48 hours (more on this later).ДЄccording to BMW (since I spoke to the BMW helpline on multiple occasions) the app loads automatically. If you have purchased and booked the app, but cannot see it in your car then wait. Then scroll down to 'Booked' and you should see BMW Drive Recorder in the list of apps. Select the apps icon at the bottom of the left hand vertical menu bar. Now go to your vehicle and turn on the ignition. That was the easy bit.now for the tricky dribble. It has not yet appeared in my BMW Connected phone app. Please note the DR app only shows as booked in the web version of Connected Drive. Once completed, the DR app should show on the list of booked apps for your vehicle. If you have not already registered a credit card in your Connected Drive profile then please do this BEFORE you buy the app. Following the process to pay for the app. Select the option you would like - 1 year, 3 year or unlimited. In my case the DR app was already listed as available. If you select the DR app you may also get a 'check availability' box so select that and enter the vehicle VIN. If you cannot see the DR app then it is likely your car does not support. Under Store you will see a list of the apps that are booked for your vehicle and a list of apps that are available with prices. Log into the web version (ie not the app) of BMW Connected Drive with your connected drive ID. Also for reference my m850i was an April 2019 build.
