> Problem with the authentication process on BMW ConnectedDrive (FR)

[LC31]

Thank you for sharing this with the community.

Config/Test:

• Samsung S9 + / Android 8.0 /
• Send2Car-Version 0.7 (11) (2020.11.30), Send2Car-Version 0.9 (13) (2021.03.19)
• BMW ConnectedDrive FR-account / My BMW Application / BMW Connected Application

Problem with the authentication process on BMW ConnectedDrive (FR): problem detected using Send2Car-Version 0.7 or Version 0.9, for authentication with BMW ConnectedDrive (FR):

• In the options / parameters, Login / Password / VIN Car are configured correctly and correspond to the ConnectedDrive (FR) account.

• By clicking on 'LOAD KEYS FROM PORTAL': status Getting API-Keys, description = success.

• By clicking on 'LOAD VINS': status invalid_client, description = Client authentication failed (e.g. unknown client, no client authentication, ...)

• On a POI (Latitude, Longitude) sending test with VIN for Car (OK): status LOOKUP GEODATA, description = success (see Screenshot-1_Send2Car.jpg)

• By clicking on 'SEND TO CAR' with VIN for Car (OK): status invalid_client, description = Client authentication failed (e.g. unknown client, no client authentication, ...) (see Screenshot-2_Send2Car.jpg)

Test using My BMW Application / BMW Connected Application for sending messages / POIs to BMW Car:

• Authentication / transmission is done correctly with the same parameters (Login / password / VIN Car), and the messages are received correctly in the car.

Previously, Send2Car Authentication and Send also worked correctly with the same settings on with BMW ConnectedDrive (FR): Do you have any idea for this problem?

Thank you in advance for your great work.

BMW has been changing their portal and seems to continue with change. What I can see is that the API-key that can be loaded from international CD-sites that have not been migrated to the new myBMW style does not work with the api-servers any more. Maybe the account being used now must be registered with the same portal as the api-key being used.
