BMW Assist
BMW Assist*
BMW Assist provides a number of different ser-
vices. For example, the position data of the
vehicle can be transmitted to the BMW Assist
Response Center when an Emergency
Request
* is sent.
Many BMW Assist services depend on the con-
tract individually agreed upon.
After your contract has expired, the BMW
Assist system will be deactivated by the BMW
Assist Response Center without you having to
visit a BMW center. After the BMW Assist sys-
tem has been deactivated, no BMW Assist ser-
vices will be available. The BMW Assist system
can be reactivated by a BMW center after a new
contract has been signed.
Requirements
>The installed BMW Assist system is logged
in to a wireless communications network.
This network must be capable of transmit-
ting the services.
>To transmit position data, the vehicle must
be able to determine its current position.
>To activate and update BMW Assist, a GPS
signal must be available.
>The BMW Assist service contract was
signed with your BMW center or with the
BMW Assist Response Center. The service
must have been fully enabled.

tain conditions, a connection to the BMW
Assist Response Center is established after

the police that your vehicle was stolen, the

mine its position.
