BMW and MINI cars come with a proprietary system that automatically screens any device that tries to connect with them. There are a number of possible reasons why your phone is being rejected:
- If there are 2 separate SHARE NOW applications running on your phone (i.e. app cloning)
- If Xposed Framework is installed on your phone
- If the system suspects your phone has been rooted or jailbroken
- If the system detects that Magisk is installed
- If your phone fails the Google SafetyNet test
In case you're one of those full-time pros, these reasons may apply:
- If the system detects that you're using an emulator (i.e. a virtual phone run on a computer)
- If the SHARE NOW app is being debugged (i.e. if the phone has been connected to a computer to see what code is running in the app)
- If the SHARE NOW app has been tampered with (i.e. if someone has tried to take apart the app to change something)
We understand this isn't great news, but you can still rent any of our other Mercedes-Benz, smart, and Fiat models.
