Welcome to the forum. Is there a reason why the dealer disabled this feature? If the car came with it then it should be restored under warranty.
Carly can be used to activate and code many nice features. Perhaps, if the dealer won't fix the issue you can checkout Carly.
If local laws prohibit the function, then the dealer is not a viable option. Your only real choice is either Carly or BimmerCode. I have no experience with either, but there are a couple threads on here on how to use them, as well as a lot of online info too. Good luck.
If you decide to try Carly, remember it is very important to use the correct adapter that plugs into your car and wirelessly communicates with the Carly app.
There are many great functions that can be activated and/or adjusted with these apps. The software that comes with the car is almost the same as with BMW and Rolls Royce, so there's a lot in there.
