TeleService , BMW Assist
TeleService
TeleService assists you when communicating
with a BMW center. The built-in car phone can
be used to transmit data regarding the service
status of your vehicle or regarding legally man-
dated inspections directly to your BMW center.
This is the same data that is also stored in the
remote control for CBS Condition Based Ser-
vice. Your BMW center can then contact you,
and you can make an appointment that suits
you while you are still on the road. Your advan-
tage here is that your BMW center can prepare
in advance for the required maintenance work.
The TeleService functions are country-specific:
the data regarding the service status of your
vehicle or regarding legally mandated inspec-
tions is transmitted on a country-specific basis
either automatically before they fall due or dur-
ing your calls to the BMW center. Your BMW
center will be glad to provide more detailed
information.
BMW Assist
BMW Assist provides you with other services in
addition to TeleService. For example, the posi-
tion data of your vehicle can be transferred to
the BMW Assist response center if an emer-
gency call
* has been initiated.
Many functions of BMW Assist depend on the
individually agreed contract. Data transmission,
e. g. of the CBS Condition Based Service, dif-
fers from country to country.
The contract of participation with BMW Assist
and the activation must be completed before
you can use BMW Assist.
When the contract expires, the car phone can
be deactivated by a BMW center without your
having to visit a BMW center. Following deacti-
vation of the car phone, no emergency calls can
be made. The car phone can be reactivated
after signing a new contract with a BMW center.You can also use the services of BMW Assist via
the Internet. The range of services is continually
being expanded.
Requirements
You can use TeleService or BMW Assist when
the following requirements are met:
>The installed car phone is logged on to a
cellular telephone network. This network
must be capable of transmitting the ser-
vices.
>To transmit position data, the vehicle must
be able to determine the current position.
This can be displayed on the Control Dis-
play.
>For TeleService or BMW Assist to be acti-
vated and updated, the GPS signal must be
available.
>For BMW Assist: you have applied to your
BMW center or BMW Customer Support for
BMW Assist.
Enabling TeleService or BMW Assist
For you to be able to use the services of
TeleService or BMW Assist, these must be
enabled.
Requirements
>Make sure that the vehicle can determine its
current location. Reception is best when
you have an unobstructed view to the sky.
>Leave radio readiness switched on while
connecting to the system.
