How do you get the weather on idrive? 2013 car
I thought this was not possible for 13 car. But i have attached a picture of a 13 car that has this installed. I am not seeing anything in widgets.
Anyone have any advice? Is it possible for a 2013 car? |

I have it on my 2013. You have to have a Connected Drive account and then sign up for the Safety plan and the Convenience plan. Then you get BMW apps and the Weather Widget which that pic is.
Both of your plans have to be active for you to see this and Real Time Traffic Info from BMW.

I went to the dealer to see how I can re-subscribe to Real Time Traffic Info on my 2013 and he said that BMW moved on to the newer TCU? box and that mine was obsolete. BMW ConnectedDrive customer service confirmed this as well when I called them about it. So BMW deactivated their old system and full switched over to their new system some time in 2015 or 2016 is what my SA told me. Also, my SA said that I would need to retrofit a new one and have BMW install it. I forgot the prices for the unit and install but I'm sure you can imagine the dealer prices. My SA said it would take an hour to install so whatever your dealer charges for an hour of work plus the unit. Also whatever it cost per year for the service your looking for. I would ask your dealer and/or BMW ConnectedDrive for more detailed information. Cheers |

if I’m not mistaken, the 2013 cars use a 2G connection that is no longer supported so the replacement is likely 3G or 4G. Is that accurate? Seems like this wouldn’t be too tough to DIY but interested in the price of the module.

Mine works. I have an 8/12 build with the NBT head unit. (All Stock) As long as I have the Safety Plan and Convenience plan active , it works.
