I’ve tried functions a few times. Not sure if there’s a limit?
having left if all day without trying to interact, I see errors in just trying to get the latest data:

Any idea how I can debug this further?
Flashing and lock/unlock still isn’t working 
For me it does change the temperature reading from C to F so this doesn’t help unfortunately. Anyway we can get the Units working correctly for people in regions where we using C for temp but want miles for distance ? Just using the global HA config of imperial doesn’t help

I see some errors in the log every now and then as well, that’s nothing strange as it seems the API is not always available.
You can debug by running the Python script which you can find here.
Just share the results as a Github issue on that site. The data get’s anonymized automatically, so no worries 
It helps us to find the issue and we can make some additional test cases with the data from your car.
You mean errors in the log? Or do you also see that sensors get updated with incorrect data?
I do see some more errors in the log then when we started with the component, but don’t see strange data for the sensors. At most that the data doesn’t get updated every 5 minutes due to the API not being available.
was this component never translated to german?
it shows only the original value
You mean the names of the entity? These get a default name per entity in English, but you can rename these to anything you want yourselves. Just click on the entity and then on the cog.
thanks
I thought I have seen them already in german.
Yes. By someone who renamed them locally 
I am trying to get the bmw connectedDrive component working but am running into some errors.
I have the logs below (I hope they formatted correctly)
I have 2 BMWs, both work just fine on the connected App for iPhone

OSError: Unknown status code 404, expected 200Can you try it again? Sometimes the API is not available and then you can get this kind of errors.
Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately the same results… I tried a few weeks back and the same issue. I decided to revisit this component yesterday and ran into it again and figured I’d post.
the image function will work though, it will download an image of my X5 (utilizing the bimmer_connected python script)
Hi, Any chance of adding a configuration option to specify that the car is using id4 rather than id5/6? My car is ID4 which means that the component can’t pull the majority of the metadata such as fuel level, lock status etc. Location works however this doesn’t automatically update - it only updates when requesting the location from within the app/web portal. All the services such as lock, unlock and flash work however they return errors as the status of the lock isn’t returned.
An option such as “version: id4” defaulting to “version: id5” could be used which would prevent the creation of all the sensors apart from location and remove the expectancy of status information to be supplied for the locks. This should resolve all of the errors I’m seeing & blank sensors. It would also be nice if this could result in an additional service that could be called to request the cars location data (though I’m not sure if this would be available via the API)?
I have an issue with the new HA version and the rules about entities config. I wrote it up to report it to HA but I figured maybe here was better.
With the changes to entity name restrictions we need to add some rules to replace invalid characters in Vehicle model names so they can create entities in HA that have valid names. Bimmer_connected returns “i3 (+ REX)” as the model for my car. This value goes on to be the name of the vehicle which in turn is used to create the entities for all of the sensors etc. The bmw component creates the entities as i3__REX which used to be ok but now the double underscore is no longer allowed, so I get warning messages in the front end that the entities were created as i3_REX. The issue is that once the invalid characters are removed we now have a double space which creates a double underscore that is also invalid in entity names. I tested a quick workaround in components/bmw_connected_drive/init.py line 139 I changed to
self.name = name.replace('__','_')
which worked for me. Unfortunately my python skills are limited and I can’t understand where “name” is coming from here. I thought it pulled from config file but that isn’t the case with mine. I am trying to figure out where the (+) are removed to add the update there.
can you post an english version?
Yeah, this is something that we would want to automatically detect. It’s something that is also discussed here bmw_connected_drive for cars with limited Connected Drive capabilities by ToSa27 · Pull Request #19813 · home-assistant/core · GitHub.
Let’s hope @m1n3rva can jump in and make some updates to the connected_drive library.
I will have a look at this.
I’ve been doing maintenance on my hassio on a NUC install, tracking down errors and hoping to fix them. I have one related to the BMW ConnectedDrive component for an i3. Here’s the log:
