BMW CarData service through MQTT

Tutorials & Examples

Hi,

Thank you for your work - I’m trying to make it work, but I kept on getting the error CONNECT failed as CONNACK contained an Error Code: BAD_USER_NAME_OR_PASSWORD.

  1. I noticed that the only way my given clientid is used if I change the line in the .things file to clientID= - that way it also shows up in PaperUI, otherwise a new clientid was generated every time
  2. username=“add gcid/username”, - it wasn’t clear as the gcid was referred to as the “username” under step 9

    I think it could be useful for people to know that you do put in both: gcid/[connecteddrive username]
  3. I had to fill in the password= field with the content of id_token to make the broker go online.

Now it is online, I’m continuing the work with it.

Thanks!!
