BMW Connected Apps Protocol

It's latency, as the key fob has to communicate with the German servers, and that round-trip takes a while.

.......

I'm only kind of joking, I don't know the real reason, but I dislike the fact I can't just get a simple mechanical car. It worked for decades, why did we need to add janky software to everything?

Hey, it's not easy REST-ing in German:

{"AnfrageArt":"Personenerkennungsschlüsselanforderungsanfrage", "ParameterListe":["HerstellerSpezifischePersonenkraftfahrzeugidentifikationsnummer":"1NXBR12E31Z463785"]}

}

This is giving me flashbacks to reverse-engineering some German-made code with only a veeery basic understanding of German and no technical dictionary. Google Translate usually had a seizure with technical terms and by the end I was just going by the "shape" of the code, despise having full function names. What a language!
