My BMW Remote -- HELP!

[Rsnic]

Well, I really messed things up, I think!

I had v1.6 on my Samsung S4 and it worked fine, albeit a little slow in responding. I then unistalled that version and installed v1.8:

* First the differences:
-- both have "pre-conditioning" -- much akin to the timed start of the car's ventilation (like through iDrive) and is neither heater or AC.
-- v1.6 allows you to select the horn beeps or headlight flashes, while version 1.8 does not.
-- The name for Google Map search option changed.

Anyhow, version 1.8 kept giving me "error during data transfer Please try again" (after several minutes) whenever I tried to send the car something -- even though the checkmark and "data transfer successful" appeared. Based on that, I unistalled version1.8 and went back to version 1.6.

Unfortunately, I keep getting the same error message after several minutes. When I go to Vehicle under settings, however, the correct info about my car appears

Of course, BMW Assist is no help because the Android version of MY BMW Remote is "not available" in US

Can anyone offer some ideas as to how to unscramble this or am I just out of luck?

HELP!!
