Not a good first post for me. I was all excited about BMW CCA App until I read what permissions it wants. Seriously???? I think it wants my first born male child also. Why would they need all that?????

Hi mikepod, BMW CCA uses a third-party platform for the app. While our app doesn't need most of those permissions, other apps on this platform do, so we don't have any control over the permissions. We do have plans for a customized app in the future that will not request unnecessary permissions.
