6NR (Apps) missing in 03/2014 build with 609

Hi,

I just took delivery of my 2014 320i and overall it's great. Tonight I tried to use the Connected app on Android or iPhone and neither works. The Android phones aren't even recognized as media players and the Android app just says there's no connection. On iPhone 4s, it also doesn't connect, and if I start the self-diagnostic it just says it's been cancelled due to an error...

I checked my VIN on bmwarchive and it does list 609, 6AC, 6AE, 6AK, 6AM, 6AP and 6NS, but no 6NR. A little more digging looking up VINs before and after mind suggests that all the cars built on or before 2/25/2014 that list 609 DO have 6NR, but all the cars built on or after 2/27/2014 that have 609 do NOT list 6NR.

I've read in some other forum (for another model) that 6AK is now BMW Online and Apps and 6NR is not used anymore? My window sticker does list "BMW Online and BMW Apps Included".

Does anyone have any idea what could be going on here, and/or what else I can do to debug?

Thanks!

Are you trying to play media through the car from your phone via bluetooth?

When you go to Connected Drive, does it show "BMW Apps" underneath BMW Mobile Care, Internet, Roadside Assistance etc?

Chances are, if you don't have 6NR then you don't have BMW Apps.
