TeleService , BMW Assist
TeleService
TeleService supports you in communicating
with your BMW center. The installed car phone
can be used to transmit data on the service sta-
tus of your vehicle or on legally mandated
inspections directly to your BMW center. These
are the same data which are stored in the mas-
ter key for CBS Condition Based Service. Your
BMW center can then contact you, and you can
make an appointment that suits you while you
are still on the road. Your advantage is that your
BMW center can prepare in advance for the
required maintenance work. The TeleService
functions are country-specific and depend on
the contract: the data on the service status of
your vehicle or on legally mandated inspections
is transmitted on a country-specific basis either
automatically before they fall due or simulta-
neously when you call your BMW center. Your
BMW center will be glad to provide more
detailed information.
BMW Assist
With BMW Assist, other services are available
to you in addition TeleService, e.g. the your
vehicle's position data can be transmitted to the
BMW Assist response center when an emer-
gency call
* has been initiated.
Many functions of BMW Assist depend on the
individually agreed contract. The data transmis-
sion, e.g. of CBS Condition Based Service, is
different in individual countries.
The subscriber agreement must be completed
successfully before using the BMW Assist ser-
vices.
Requirements
The installed car phone is logged on to a porta-
ble telephone network. This network must be
capable of transmitting the services.To transmit position data, the vehicle must be
able to determine the current position. This is
displayed on the Control Display. In order to
enable and update TeleService or BMW Assist,
a GPS signal must be present.
Enabling TeleService or BMW Assist
For you to be able to use the services of
TeleService or BMW Assist, these must be

hear you.

severe accident. An automatic emergency call
