I own a model year 2011 M3 convertible with a production date of August 11, 2011. I also own a model year 2011 X5.
In the latter I can send myself google map locations using the send function in google maps. I then go to the messages on the idrive menu and voila.
Problem with the M3, there is no messages menu. I have gone through the book over and over and though it shows messages under the "office" menu, the only thing listed there is "contacts".
Additionally in my X5, with combox controller, I can also receive text messages using the MAP profile of my cell phone (Motorla Photon). The M3 also has the combox controller (at least according to the vin decode). When I pair the phone, I get a request from my phone to allow MAP so I know the car is "requesting" it, but again I can't get to / find the "messages" menu/submenu. I do have "office" ticked under the options section of the phone details.
I would really hate to take it to the dealer for something that I hope is a really simple fix. (PS not really sure why I have waiting nearly two years to figure this out)
Thanks in advance.
