Real time traffic and connecteddrive
My newly ordered 2015 X5 will arrive this week. I do not have Enhanced bluetooth/USB package, but am planning on coding.
I wasn't sure about real-time traffic information during navigation. I am under the impression that it is included as a standard feature (subscription for 3 years included). Could someone please let me know if this is not correct? Also, I found confusing info on "Connecteddrive" feature. Per my understanding, this feature allows you to remotely unlock/start your car using smartphone. Will it be already present in the car or can I add it by coding? I know that there is a separate subscription for this feature. |

2) Real Time Traffic is included for models 2013 and up as part of the ConnectedDrive Services (this is a 3 year subscription) 3) BMW Assist (free 10 year subscription upon buying any 2014+ BMW) is included and this allows you access to your car with ConnectedServices internet connection from your cell phone. Just call up BMW Assist to activate everything.

thank you for your help. I guess I was confused between enhanced USB/Bluetooth and connecteddrive.
My another question: How to activate a/c or heater remotely via 'BMW Remote' smartphone app. I think it is called as Comfort Ventilation. The description states that apart from your BMW Assist contract you need Remote Services option (option code 6AP). I don't know if this is a special piece of hardware that you need or just needed to be activated by the dealer. I didn't find any info on BMW USA website. |

As far as remote engine start, that is something custom you will have to do from someone experienced.

@possib1edoc Do you mean S536A Auxiliary heating which you control via a separate key fob? Excellent optional extra available in UK, don't think you have it in US.

So, real time traffic requires a subscription now? I have this in my e90 for free, assuming all we're referring to is the color coding of the roads on the gray map.

Hallo,
Unfortunately - in Europe we have to pay for many additional things. For RTTI we have to pay, for ambient light we have to pay, for remote services we have to pay and for many, many things that are standard in the US. Also - we have to pay almostt double price for standard :-) I remember (many years ago) I had to pay (as the option) for cup-holder in e60 (approx. $150). In f15 it is standard now :-) BR T_E |
