Anyone think there's a chance they could update the App so it would work in the background and not have to be on the screen and phone unlocked for it to work?

I hate that I can't access other things on my phone otherwise it loses the connection to the BMW Apps and that the screen is always on. The phone gets pretty warm plus it's bright at night. If you put the phone face down, then the screen shuts off, but I'd rather not that to worry about how the phone is positioned.

They claim it is this way for safety. A feature, rather than a lack of foresight. Germans.

Haha, I'll admit it is effective. I find I'm using my phone in the car a lot less because I don't want to get out of the app. :P

They could at least let you lock the phone though, that has no use that I can see.
